The problem is that a DDoS doesn't have to log in. Imagine a server as a house. That house has a driveway. At the street end of that driveway there is a gate. You want to have a party at your house, but the paparazzi heard about it. Only people you have invited can get in, but the photographers are surrounding the place. Your guests can't get to the gate to show their invitation. A DDoS attack are the paparazzi. They aren't invited, and they can't get IN.. The gate is a firewall. It stops them from getting even onto the driveway.. But the people you WANT at your party - I.E., the people who just want to play EQ - can't get to the gate. The DDoS takes up all the street in front of the house. | |||

That's a brilliant analogy.

Plus your IP is almost constantly changing-- unless you've got a dedicated static IP (which usually costs extra from consumer ISPs if it's offered at all), the lease time is, at most, 5 days on IP addresses. Many are only 24-48 hours, so your login would stop working as soon as your ISP assigned you a new IP.

Nice analogy!
As far as Dell goes, I don't know anything about their home machines I have bought one dell home PC ever, for my lil sister when she was in college. As far as business class laptops, workstations, servers go... I would never buy anything but Dell ever. I work for a tiny ass company and the people who handle the money frequently just buy new employees whatever the fuck laptop they want or they think looks cool... So we have a ton of Lenovo and Sony Vaio notebooks all over the fucking place that I would smash with a hammer and toss in a fire in a heartbeat. Not because dell laptops out perform them or are more reliable, but because Dell support fucking kicks ass. The only support I have ever used that was better was from Sun and sun Gold support is not exactly cheap lol. | ||
