Time for another Spartacus.

Ivory Bill Woodpecker wrote to say:

Off topic--Shakesville is down. I e-mailed Melissa and learned it's a denial-of-service attack.

If we, the sane, ever regain control of the government, we need to turn some of its resources [Carnivore, maybe?] to finding these cyber-crooks. If some of these digital storm-troopers were frog-marched out of their parents' basements on national TV, prosecuted, and convicted, I reckon the incidence of such attacks would decline steeply.

Meanwhile, could it be time for "I am Spartacus" again?


Yup.

    Their own folly and corruption have summoned the asteroid.

    We've been down since last Thursday from a sustained denial of service attack. It's been going on for months, but it peaked last week.

  6. ¡Me llamo Spartacus! ...y tambien yo tengo una sugerencia.

    ¿Could overt-amplification, say through blog-swarms, render DDOS's meaningless?

    ¿eh?

    Anyone aware of DOS attacks mounted by "The Left" against hate-mongering reicht-wing pukefest blogs, or are we all just into that damned First Amendment or something???

  9. I'm with QD on this ... there is no justice in this world when AC can get on Good Morning America and Melissa is trying to get back online. I've posted a message about this at Yikes!
