When buying my first one the saleman said, "go for the SX, the only reason that you would need a DX is if you were doing CAD."
If only we still didn't need math coprocessors
"The article mentions DDOS attacks -- is that all it's good for?"
I'm pretty sure that even if that IS all that it is good for, it is worth its weight in gold. Wouldn't it be nice if every semi-large website could have one of those? Then we would never have to worry about all of the new reports of DDOS blackmail.
Did you also notice that the US has about 10x the number of coders ranked as opposed to the other countries. That just means that good coders fomr other countries are applying, and LOTS of regular CS students fomr the US are applying. With sample sizes that far from eachother, the deviation and error must be huge.
I remember first hearing about these things about 5 years ago. Back then you had to build them yourself. They were called "Chrome Boxes" along the lines of all of the other phreakers tools.
Just a little history.

That doesn't work when they shut off your access from the port that goes to your room.
