Or make your country so shitty, with so few freedoms left and so much oppression, that no one wants to go there.

Never mind all those billion dollars from tourism. At least no unwanted SOFTWARE will be entering your country.

A stealthy DOS is when the attack looks like a normal occurrence, and not an attack. It is not the DOS that is stealthy, it is the attack or, rather, the reason for the lack of service.

It is a very neat thing, actually. Say you have a very long, segmented fence. There are 1000000 segments, and every day 1 of those will break and stay broken for 10 seconds. You can't explore that, because it is random, and you can't try all 1000000 segments in 10 seconds. However, if you can force the dice and make a specific segment tail, you can be there and exploit it, because you know which one and when. To the external observer, however, it was just a normal, run of the mill segment fail.

It is the same concept. The failure is there, they notice it, but it is done in such a way they don't notice it is an attack.

BSD confirmed Netcraft is dead.

Or they are worried about responsible disclosure?
It is one thing to show the USA is spying. It is another thing to provide names e description of the spies themselves.

It was more than that. It was the books being replaced by the people own volition. The people allowed it, let it happen, and even condoned it. Which one could argued it exactly what is happening.

451... Nice... Ray Bradbury would be proud :)

And that is exactly the problem.
Say, if you were having a heart attack, would you want to be taken to the best mechanical engineer of the world?

People get to the top because they are have political smart.

^^^^^^^ Stupidity and Incompetence. Your #3 is just an extrapolation of my #2.

Which is more likely:

1) They are evil and secretly let these attacks happen, which could costs the lives of people they know and people from their families (something can always go wrong...)
2) They are stupid and incompetent

This has nothing to do with encryption, and has everything with software you can't audit and verify yourself is secure.

I mean, do you really think it is that unlikely there are backdoors and/or monitoring hooks in your Cisco router? Or your Linksys AP? Or whatever?

The moment you trust blindly, be it the government or companies in a position to be influenced by others, you are putting yourself at risk.

Saying this is a cryptography issue, and not a "blackbox" issue, makes me wonder about ulterior motives...

I'm conducting a "highly" scientific study of my own.

Please reply here if you are surprised by these news...

Yeah, just like the copyright is temporary... What is it these days, 50 years AFTER the death of the creator? I stopped checking because, for all practical purposes, you can just consider it "forever" and it will work...

Or to buy and have their own Members of Parliament...

And the practical reason for this is what, exactly?

Do the doctor can tell them they shouldn't have done, something they already did, and already know shouldn't have?

Maybe, just maybe, HMO and insurance companies could benefit from this but, the person? How exactly?

It is also possible on Notes, any Unix mailbox format (maildir, mbox, maildir+, w/e), and any other e-mail system I can think of.
