This is at the crux of the problem. There is no real way to tell good traffic from bad traffic. You can only make excellent guesses.

I'm not totally unsophisticated and I read the whole article, but I am more confused now than when I started reading. This quotation is indecipherable to me:

If I may be so bold...

If what LizardSquad said is true about the size of the attack, then frankly no amount of extra spending would have protected Sony anyway.

I was being facetious! Come on!

What's wrong with T-shirt cannons?

At least someone else picked up on the irony...

Here is one of my all-time favourite avoation photos:

Best F-4 memory is me and my cousin in our teenage year, rowing a boat with two girls along, on a series of lakes in the suburbs north of Copenhagen. Then two F-4s fly over us, one of them trailing flames, and right there it drops three underwing fuel tanks. Read later in the paper they fell in the only lake with no…
