One of the top things that made the internet the great
thing it is, heck one of the main *reasons* for the internet's
precursor in the first place, was decentralization.

DDoSes would have much lesser effects if people, such at those at those
at GitHub, weren't so hell-bent on devolving the internet into a series
of centralized services. Ex: A DDoS can hardly do shit against git
itself, or usenet, or email, etc. But it sure as hell can bring
centralized junk like GitHub, twitface, etc to their knees.
DARPA realized this *decades* ago (before half of us were even born),
set out to solve it, and thus the early internet was created.

Hooray for regressing technology back to 1950.
