   And I would notice a botnet DDOS attack within seconds. I have a   
   permanent traffic sensor on every desktop and a web page monitoring   
   router traffic.   
   the moment those show anything the browser gets switched off. There are   
   some sites that will enrol up in peer to peer shit.   
      
   I have found two. I assume some javascript action of some sort.   
      
   I dont use them any more.

   There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale   
   returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.
