Apparently we are being hacked for the second day in a row by what our server company refers to as "big DOS attack at the network."   

Per Wikipedia -  "A denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. Although the means to carry out, motives for, and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely. Perpetrators of DoS attacks typically target sites or services hosted on high-profile web servers such as banks, credit card payment gateways, and even root nameservers. The term is generally used with regards to computer networks, but is not limited to this field, for example, it is also used in reference to CPU resource management."

ALL I KNOW IS IT MAKES CONSISTENCY DIFFICULT for our stream.  My apologies to our devoted listeners.  We will be back up as soon as these covert bastards have their way with us.  Our FLASH AUDIO PLAYER is still up and running.
