We're past the era where denial of service simply happens because kids are looking for a good time.

The reality of most software development is that the consequences of failure are simply nonexistent.

Users have had the opportunity to upgrade for a long time. It's unlikely that they would choose to do so now as a result of this announcement.

No, I'm not good looking.

The very same means that the cyber vandals used a few weeks ago [in the denial-of-service cyber attacks on several major Web sites] could also be used on a much more massive scale at the nation-state level to generate truly damaging interruptions to the national economy and infrastructure.

Kids, kids. I'm not going to die. That only happens to bad people.
