I predicted things like this were being used. My rough logic is that when you see directly observible evidence of an entity (Republicans and/or Tea Party in Congress, or whatever you wish to label them) engaging in a DoS attack against the American people out in the open -- in the form of the repeated attempts to shutdown the Federal government and risk defaults, etc -- it's even easier to believe the same kinds of people will be arranging for DoS under the covers, through more shady means.
Not that I'm saying these DoS attacks are effective, or even a significant factor. I don't have enough data to know. But I have no doubt they were at least attempted.

- mkramlich 13y agoYou have made the mistake of assuming mutual exclusion when I for one did not. I am a software engineer and I do this professionally. I am fully aware of the kinds of technical issues, and procedurally issues, which can fully or at least even partially account for its woes. That was not my point. My point was pretty clear and I was very very careful with my exact wording, if you'd care to take a second look at my original comment you've attacked, and probably downvoted, erroneously.
