Wouldn't whitelisting known good IPs of frequent internet destinations within your hosts.conf (or equivalent) file provide at least moderate protection against IP hijacking?

I believe the .cn site was hosted in Florida at the time of The Incident and supposed compromising of Gmail accounts.

Also, if you own a Linksys WRT54G model router, of most firmware variations, you can get custom firmware that will track WLAN usage. It was quite handy when I had to pick a broadband connection plan when I moved to a new state.

I know a troll when I see one. Can you tell those guys that sign my paycheck to start actually raising salaries for the majority of their workforce, instead *just* for top management?

Terrorism is meant to cause terror while performing everyday activities or a general sense of fear and paranoia in the general population. General public != internet-using public, and I find it hard to believe that any type of act committed in cyberspace would cause such feelings in any average internet-using person. Until cyber-activity gets to a point where such activity causes personal harm, whether psychologically or physically, I would say the term cyber-terrorism has no relevancy to the general public.

Agreed. Someone must do this type of research with clearance level access. Better to have educated, vetted, background-checked individuals doing this than the public-at-large.

Corporations are fined when they are caught breaking the law because, so far, that's all the courts can do. Please explain how anyone can "lockup" a corporation and I'll be the first support it. The whole idea of incorporating is to AVOID personal responsibility. If someone could hold the CEO, or anyone in the company, personally responsible for the actions of a corporation then the whole concept of a corporation becomes mostly useless.

How about revoking their business charter like we used to do? That would be akin to locking them up.

If "Net Neutrality"= "treat traffic the same regardless of source and destination", then GOOD.

If "Net Neutrality"= "treat traffic the same regardless of protocol", then BAD.

I can imagine bittorrent applications, im sure the govt is being pressured by interest groups about this.

Where is the "It was fun but now I've moved on." option? Both praising it as a milestone in MMO gaming but at the same time suggesting there is more out there. If this is your way of evangelizing a WoW content patch then you forgot your [sarcasm] tags.
