thewayneYou have to be a system administrator to appreciate this. This admin worked apparently at an ISP and noticed one of his servers was down due to a denial of service attack, specifically a SYN flood. He traced it down to a disgruntled school kid in England who was pissed because a GM had kicked him out of the game. The kid ended up arrested by Scotland Yard!
