Looks like they recovered 'gracefully' - as possible.  The site came back from the dead and I could purchase and download everything.

Daz at V4 and CP at P5 - sometimes people don't read the Boy Scout motto: Always be prepared.  Or the military motto - never underestimate your enemy (worst case scenario).  You project 10 million hits, dodecacuple it (that's 12 times).  Consider the worst in your mind and then consider yourself an optimist.. :)

Part of the problem with the internet (and its strength unfortunately) is the open territory.  Like any new frontier with open territory, there are great advantages to be had - and with any advantage are those who usurp it greedily.  In this case, it is spam, spam, and, yes I'd like to have more spam please.  I forget the exact figures, but about 30-40% of all internet traffic is spam.  Imagine how well the internet would work without it!  They are the fat clogging the arteries and make what would apparently be a responsive system lethargic and ailing.  Now you know why I think that the penalty for fervent spammers should be both hands (and maybe the first born). ;0)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
