- Junto con la independencia de Kosovo, este año ha visto la llegada a la democracia del último feudo en Europa: la isla de Sark (que está cerca de donde se situaba "Los Otros", en las islas del Canal). Al parecer, a los 600 residentes el tema les ha dejado un poco fríos, sobre todo porque se ha debido a las presiones sobre el tribunal europeo de derechos humanos de Estrasburgo de una curiosa pareja de gemelos, los hermanos Barclay, que poseen un castillo en una isla privada que pertenece a Sark. Lo más curioso de todo lo que cuento arriba es que es verdad. No pertenece a un episodio de mitad de temporada de un culebrón americano. |

- Este lunes es el lunes. El del primer debate cara a cara (es un decir) entre los dos candidatos de los partidos con más visos de gobernar tras las elecciones del 9M8. Por supuesto, que llegue de repente el día parece como ridículo, porque hemos venido desayunando, comiendo y cenando debate desde hace muuucho tiempo. Negociaciones en secreto que se filtraban adecuadamente. Interés de las televisiones en una campaña en la que son el principal -si no único- escaparate que interesa a los partidos. |

- Anyone who works in an IT related field, or who possesses a basic understanding of networking, or even those who have used the internet in the past 10 years, have heard of DoS attacks. Regardless of method, the concept of bombarding a server with data to the point of failure is a simple concept. Historically, this started with hackers crashing web servers with an onslaught of request packets. The cat and mouse game of security developments vs. hacking attacks, generated a wide variety of DoS and subsequent Distributed DoS (DDoS) weaponry. |
