Slightly misleading headline aside this is actually a really good and informative article for a change. I wonder what the feasibility of outlawing any services that reply with more data than they are sent on first contact is. It's probably the only way to fully get rid of DDoS attacks. It would be great if infected machines could also be auto-throttled until the problem is solved on the user's end, or if there was at least some better notification mechanism.
