Tech: Yes, Twitter getting DDOSed again. Who do we need to kill?

  • You inconsiderate bastards. Have you considered that people besides you (or the people you’re trying to attack) use this service? That this social networking stuff is actually a resource, not a toy? That these tools have wide-ranging uses beyond your limited scope? Admittedly, we shouldn’t simply be upset at those distributing a denial of service attack. Twitter has some significant scalability issues that make it vulnerable to attacks like these. But still, jerks. Screw you. The internet isn’t your toy. source
