Link is dead for me?

Anyway

Right now Neowin is swamped, slow, and sometimes gives "Server too busy" messages. This started a couple of hours ago and I expect this to continue for as long as the datacenter (rackshack) allows it and eventually pulls the plug (routing to our server). This is caused by yet another DoS (Denial of Service) attack where a person is sending 1000's of packets to common ports on our server (in this case apache) The person doing this goes by the name of kidd0 who is 12 years old (yea I know) and can be found at the website www.<< spam >>. He was banned for breaking the rules some time ago and has since recruited another member from Neowin who relayed threats and admissions of previous DoS attacks for kidd0 until he was also banned from here. Additionally the site has also started to use newslogos from Neowin without permission or credit yet surprisingly they do source some of our news stories. I don't usually post information relating to these types of attacks but since they are happening too frequently lately with no end in sight and resulting in downtime of up to 48 hours for some visitors I felt it was only fair to tell everyone why they can't browse the site properly. kidd0 has made no secret and has admitted at a number of sites for being responsible for downtimes at Neowin and other sites. Its a shame that this kid has way too much power (controls some sort of zombie trojan on 1000's of infected PC's) and nothing better to do than destroy the same type of community that he appears to duplicate at his own site. I feel pretty powerless and fed up at the same time. So if I don't answer your emails or PM's demanding to know why you can't get to the site or why your IP was "blocked" its because the routing will be disabled again which means there will be downtime before people can access the site again. IPS (Invision Power Services, our host) are aware of this, so please don't bother to bombard them with emails, they are also doing what they can to rectify the situation. On behalf of the Neowin Team, Thanks for your continued patience and support, I hope this is sorted soon.

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
