When a site has been hacked, its appearance is often altered by chest-beating hackers who leave the cyber equivalent of a "Kilroy was here" scrawl. This week's attacks, on the other hand, bombarded various high-traffic sites with an overflow of information, effectively shutting down normal operations. How do the perpetrators send so much data so quickly? Apparently, the most recent assaults are not typical denial of service pranks, which generally are sent from only one or two computers at a time.

"Let me direct the microphone, if you don't mind," shouts Keyes, his voice a mixture of fearsome preacher and irritated muppet...
Most of the time, the best treatment for flu is to dive under the covers and forget the world for a week. Be sure to alert your doctor, however, if you start having trouble breathing, develop a rattle in your chest or your fever persists. You may be developing pneumonia. Only your doctor can determine whether an antiflu drug is right for you. But remember, the most that Relenza or Tamiflu can do for you is cut your downtime by a day or two--and then only if you take it within 48 hours of the first symptoms...
