So when the libertarians are lying on the ground after a car crash the emergency personnel would know not to interfere with their lives. They could be exempted from having to buy insurance.

Bengt writes "Thuesday night 3 of internets 13 DNS root servers brought to their knees! According to reports, last night's incident was the most significant attack against the DNS backbone since October 2002. The zombies are up and walking!
"Experts at SophosLabs(TM), SophosLabs(TM),Sophos's global network of virus, spyware and spam analysis centers, have challenged internet users as to whether they unwittingly played a part in last night's major attack against key root servers which form the backbone of the internet. Sophos experts suggest that users' computers are likely to have been taken over by hackers to create zombie networks or 'botnets', in order to bombard the internet's Domain Name System (DNS) servers with traffic. They note that while the computer owners may have been unaware that their PCs were compromised, had the attack been successful then all website access and email delivery would have been suspended globally.""
