        [SNIP}


I guarantee you that if people start nuking each other's
computers over the Internet in the name of IP protection, this phantom
thing we've been calling "cyberterrorism" will take on a much more
concrete cast.  Welcome back to the old West, partner.  You better
be packin' a six-shooter, cause every other hombre in town is.


Which sounds alot like efnet a year ago, as well as a few other irc nets
in the more recent future, let alone the internet now and recent past.

non-existance?

The WMD's of the internet exist, and have been deployed and used to
varying extents already in limited formats.  The wakeup call comes when
rather then a small DDOS affecting only one or two, a major DDOS is
launched that takes down large sections of the internet for extended
periods while the child that launched them is out mowing lawns for
his/her
next stratedgy planning pizza...unless of course we give into the folks
at
RIAA./DCMA and legalize all this crap for the select few<shrug> (in
texas,
right, certainly not those in utah)...

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
