A "top not" IT team will have a proper budget.
Most of the things you mentioned cost money, and sadly most IT teams are the bastard children of management decisions as far as budget goes.
It usually takes something like this before management decides to finally empower the IT team with some form of financial support for their IT needs.

How about South Africa, where ALL ISP's had capped plans unless you went for "Business ADSL" that was throttled at 1mb/s and only in the last year have uncapped accounts become mainstream.
Submission + - Slashdot, Meet Slashtags
theodp writes: With content mills like Associated Content and Demand Media joining forces with spammers and marketers to manipulate Google's page-ranking systems, laments Vivek Wadhwa, we're fighting a losing battle for the web and need alternative ways of finding the information that we need. Search startup Blekko, notes Wadhwa, aims to clean up the spam and clutter. In addition to providing regular search a la Google, Blekko allows you to define what it calls 'slashtags' — mostly human-curated sets of websites built around a specific topic — to filter the information you retrieve. So if you're looking for info about swine flu, you can add '/health' to your query to search only the top 70 or so relevant health sites rather than tens of thousands of spam sites. Blekko also takes a stab at chronological searches, allowing you to add the slashtag “/date” to the end of a query to retrieve info based on the date on which it was actually created. Always good to see some competition for the big search dogs — hopefully, Blekko will fare better than Cuil (RIP).

Comment Define "Industrialised" (Score 2) 314
"Industrialised World" - The world is changing so quickly that the definitions of what is first world, third world, emerging markets, industrialised and so on are not clearly defined.
If that definition can be made accurately there can be concurrence as to if the peak travel levels have been reached or not.
Also, there has not in recorded history been any similar trends, except maybe for the peak and decline of rail travel - maybe a parallel can be drawn from that?
Given the above, the conclusion can only be "It looks like it, but we cannot be sure. Yet."

You are right - They will find an excuse to crack down.
The question is: Why give them one? Why aid them by handing them an excuse?
And as for embarrassment, I think it is hardly embarrassing to have your government site taken offline, especially one that draws as little traffic as this one - Its alexa ranking is 2,460,718! My blog gets roughly ten times the traffic that they do according to alexa!
If they wanted to disrupt something worthwhile they could have gone after a telecommunications server - surely if Anonymous were as smart as they allude to be they could have figured out the address of one.
