Should we say [[broadband]] alone, rather than singling out ADSL? I regard ADSL as a declining technology. [[User:Howard C. Berkowitz|Howard C.

Positive botnet application?
I would not call a company using its own PCs for testing a "botnet", but this Computer World story does: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9174539/Microsoft_runs_fuzzing_botnet_finds_1_800_Office_bugs
- In Network World, I believe, there was an article on cloud networks suggesting the Conficker botnet had more hosts than Google or Amazon, and thus the largest cloud computing network. Is that a negative cloud application? Clearly, there are definition problems in distributed computing! Howard C. Berkowitz 13:31, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Just broadband?
Should we say broadband alone, rather than singling out ADSL? I regard ADSL as a declining technology. Howard C. Berkowitz 12:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
- yes. Sandy Harris 14:19, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
How to manage effects?
DDOS is certainly a botnet effect, but so is spamming and the like. Should there be an effects and economics section? Howard C. Berkowitz 12:18, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
