What's the difference between being spider'd and a DoS attack?

The script kitty will eventually stop.
Is this thing on? *tap tap*
But seriously, most database content worth the high costs of hosting is
owned by someone that doesn't want the spiders getting at it and
mirroring out in public like say... google. I don't see that changing
anytime soon.
Are people really THAT lazy they can't type a URL? People will carry
around another mouse sized gizmo with their laptops? Was this the plan
behind the insane plan for the new 63 character domain names all
along? hmmm.... i smell fish... flip, flop, a flippity bippity flop.
