Now he can spend the next 70-80 years of his life in a cell

Just what the country needs. More reasons for rural America to fear people they’ve never met.

Heroine + Cocaine

It’s not satire. Religious liberty bills work only if you have a ‘religion.’ It’s much harder to claim something violates your religious beliefs, if you don’t have religious beliefs.

“Now, all of the parties involved—including the federal government, the pipeline company and contractors, the state of North Dakota, and the tribes—need to find a path forward that serves the broadest public interest”

This is a simple case of he said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said, she said. It’s impossible to know who to believe.

Why? Seems much better to cut off the attacking country than the country being attacked.

It looks like all the packets are being sent from single countries. Is there a reason why the server can’t just deny all requests from say China if they receive more than a certain number of Chinese requests per minute?

How does the bot net get created in the first place? Is the best way to stop such attacks then just to have better protection of devices built into operating systems so that they’re not reliant on people running anti-virus software?
