Distributed means from many sources. Attacks of this nature will not be affected by Chrome's mechanism. Chrome's feature will only prevent repeated requests from the same user. DOS attacks are blunted, not DDOS.

LOL, this is appears to be a story that was posted in thoughtful hindsight after being thoroughly trolled.

Wow, what's your job title? "Spam filter manager?"

The poor suckers who have their email server compromised will inevitably be blacklisted by their ISPs. This will effectively prevent any mail from successfully being sent out to recipients. This means that the legitimate email server will no longer be able to send any mail, or any mail of their customers' behalf until the victimized server can be cleaned of malware on their server, and the owner can convince their ISP and anyone else who has cut them off to trust them again enough to accept email from them. It's not good for business when your email cuts out. Lots of money can be lost.

Spammers are assholes getting free advertising at the expense of legitimate businesses and home users. They steal, dupe, and shit on everyone they come in contact with. They obtain their revenue through unscrupulous means. What is hard to understand about the criminal activity here?

How insightful, thank you for contributing nothing useful or interesting.

I'm going to have to side with the non-slaveholders...

wut a waste of mod points, modding these points down...

Holy cow, Fox News. I think that's a channel that will die with the baby boomers... I hope

Linksys is for SOHO networks, you're going to have shell out more money for enterprise WAPs.

Restricting internet access is a trivial task to anybody that can use a computer and a search engine - many free solutions are available. Apple is just trying to pander to the crowd of lazy parents who buy into the notion that Apple is a nice company with morals that will protect their kids from porn. IMO, kids love porn, and will find it regardless of the computer they're using. *yawn*

Doesn't rhyme with Linus and has a million flavors.

I think they should be praised, yes. I also recognize their actions are illegal and therefore uncondoned; however, I believe it is a important thing that the potential impact of the internet is commonly known to all peoples of the world. We live in an age where near-instant communication is the norm and that will hopefully empower more revolutionary movements like the ones we've seen in the Middle East. Damn the semantics - "those 'hacktivists' broke the law" - those hackers are peaceful protestors from a certain perspective.

You forgot the "~ " at the end of your line.

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Mubarak for stepping down. Undignified and belatedly, yes, but peacefully, without ordering his troops to fire upon the protestors.

"Moooooommmmm!"

"Yes, dear?"

"Bathroom!"

"What's that, poopsiekins?"

"BATHROOM!!!!"
