DDOS is when some pathetic person illegally compromises other peoples computers with a trojan, or "bot". The bot silently runs in the background on the victims computer, and connects to IRC, where the botnet "owner" controls them and sends commands to make them use all available bandwidth to flood someobody. Imagine a few thousand of these "bots" all flooding one person, and you get a DDOS - Distributed Denial of Service. The end result is the targets connection gets saturated (or even possibly the ISPs entire peering connection to the rest of the internet), and they effectively get knocked offline. This makes the botnet kiddies feel like they have power, and they get a tingle in their balls everytime they DDOS someone, and then go back to undressing their little sisters barbie dolls, until the next time that someone "dares" to disagree with them or their friends.
