i'm not saying it wasn't a DDoS. i'm saying that it could have been defective hardware, and that the fault could have been caused by a DDoS.
Right, I get what you're saying, but you're wrong about what the 'cause' is. If a transistor blows under a high load, then the transistor is defective. The only reason a DDoS would be to blame for it is if part of the process was that it changed how the hardware behaved (i.e. bypassing a safety mechanism) to cause a burn-out.
You said yourself, you caught it during load testing. You didn't break the hardware.
We're not talking about the Disney channel. Quoth the article:
Prior season episodes of current ABC hit series “Grey’s Anatomy,” ”Desperate Housewives” and, for the first time on Netflix, “Brothers & Sisters,” all of which are among the network’s most successful and popular TV franchises in recent years. Every episode of recent ABC favorites “Lost” and “Ugly Betty,” the latter making its streaming debut at Netflix. Each season of several hit series from ABC Studios, including “Scrubs” and “Reaper,” which are both new additions to Netflix. A host of content from the Disney Channel, including the hits “Phineas and Ferb” and “Good Luck Charlie,” which are also new to Netflix; updated and expanded offerings of “The Suite Life on Deck” and “Wizards of Waverly Place;” and library offerings from the smash hits “Hannah Montana” and “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.” A wide range of content from ABC Family, marking the introduction of ABC Family content streaming from Netflix. Included are the hit series “Greek,” “Make It or Break It,” “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and “Melissa & Joey.”
They definitely use some proprietary stuff, but what I was curious about was the 'deal with MS' he referred to. Netflix works just fine on my Mac and PC. The only 'MS agreement' I know about was the reason the Wii version of Netflix required a disc, and that expired a couple of months ago.
Forgive my ignorance, but why the delay? Is this "punishment" for not viewing it when it's broadcast?
No. It's so Disney continues to make money from advertisers. If the show turns up 24 hours later on Netflix commercial free, then there's little incentive for somebody to purchase advertising time during its broadcast.

I doubt the situation would be any better if OpenBSD had been commercial and closed source...
Sure, if you don't count the false sense of security people have been promoting with OSS.
It means they get paid whether they get the results Microsoft wants or not.
You're also instant messaging, talking on Facebook, or posting on Slashdot that there's nothing good on TV.
Your grasp of that joke was Wimpy.
Really, Super Mario Bros. the movie was very close to the spirit of the games (light entertainment) and had more plot that all the games put together.
Based on what? Did you even see that movie?
I mean that you didn't break it, it was defective.

Okay, so the cause was a defective bit of hardware and not a DoS attack, right?
I was just wondering why my processor never overheats, and now I know it's because it's digital.
Good. Now go read more about why things like web-servers don't actually catch fire when they are slashdotted.
Heat.
It is why we air condition data centers.
Uh huh. And these digital routers just keep revving up more and more as data comes through until they catch fire?
Load from the DDoS traffic fried the switch. So you see, it's a hardware failure.
Is that even possible? +5 Insightful??
Why not put a small camera on one or both to provide some visual feedback?
Because every gram of mass is expensive and hindsight is 20/20.
is she hot?
Also, does she run linux at home?
You may choose only one.
Boring target.
YOU CAN'T SPELL VAGINA WITHOUT VGA !!
C-U-N-T.
(If this gets modded as 'Informative' I'm putting it on my resume.)
Disney's only paid one time, at least that's what I gathered from a recent story about how much Netflix pays for shows.
Hulu has an advertising model that Netflix doesn't have.
Why are we always in such a hurry to mod vague nerd cynicism as 'Interesting'?

Why not on your computer?
You're missing the biggie: Streaming. You click 'play' and a moment later you're watching it, even to your cell phone or blu-ray player if you like.
Forgive my ignorance, but why the delay? Is this "punishment" for not viewing it when it's broadcast?

Are you trying to make a joke or do you really think your DNA stores all the information you have in your brain?
Surely you meant "mojility".
That'd be funny if it contained an element that was humorous.
