So, some day the children of helicopter parents will get their revenge.
Assuming some of them at some point learn how to live.

Yeah, if you don't mind someone else coming along and formatting your apparently unformatted drive for you.
Or a rogue boot loader (like the Windows one installing itself at the start of your filesystem.
I ran into that a few years ago when I added a 4TB hardware RAID5 to my Linux server. The partition table that is made by fdisk can't handle it. I was forced to use parted to make an EFI partition table instead. It was a little different but completely doable. Took me about 2 minutes on Google to find a howto.
What will kill DJBDNS is when PCI and other standards groups start to require DNSSEC in order to do business. Then companies will be forced to switch to a less secure DNS server just to speak a slightly more secure protocol.
Flare guns count too. Plus they are unregulated in every state. Their ammo is not allowed though.

Actually, flying with a checked and properly declared firearm is a great way to keep your stuff safe. You are required by federal law to use locks that the TSA can't open so you don't have to worry about them stealing stuff from your case.
Are these researchers doing anything about it? Have they handed the IP lists with timestamps over to the appropriate ISPs or corporate network administrators so that the infected systems can be dealt with? Did they even put up a page where you can check yourself or your network?
Merely counting the infected is nothing but mental masturbation. Even the lame government census has moved beyond simply counting.
Since we are talking about web logins here there is a simple solution...
Most modern web browsers support remembering passwords and typing them in for you. If you are so unconcerned about security that you want your password to be displayed on the screen for anyone to see then you may as well just let your browser type it in for you and eliminate the typo problem completely.
I love the large screen on the bigger Clie models. They are the only Palms you can run the HP48GX calculator emulator (Power48) on without it looking cramped.
I could care less about the keyboard though. I always enter things with graffiti so I wouldn't miss it if it was gone.
I would certainly be a member of the Palm cult. I still carry a Clie NX70V which IMO is the best PalmOS based PDA ever made. I have newer gadgets like a modern iPod but I like to keep my phone and my PDA independent so that draining my batteries playing music all day doesn't cut me off from communications and information. I might consider upgrading to a Pre when they come out but I don't really want to double my cell phone bill with a "data plan" either.
I have used many GUI calculators including x48 which operates and looks exactly like an HP48GX which is the last real calculator I bought.
However, I always end up using Orpie (http://pessimization.com/software/orpie/) I have a hot key setup to launch it in an xterm which is perfect for when you need a quick calculator.
I also like that it ignores commas in a paste so I can easily paste numbers in and out of it using standard xterm mouse buttons.
If only this was open source software. We could look and see what it is and what it is doing. In the closed software model you only even know it exists because it screwed up and told you.
The Palm Pilot series ruined me. My handwriting was always bad but now I end up alternating between bad writing and graffiti. I hand someone a piece of paper and they can't even recognize the language!
