   It depends what you mean by "prevent".   
      
   Can you stop people from perpetrating DDoS attacks in the first place?  No.   
      
   Can you make things so that the server (on it's console) doesn't fall   
   over?  Quite likely.   
      
   Can you protect the bandwidth of the network connecting the server to   
   the world?  Maybe.   
      
   All of this is highly subjective to the specific situation you're in.   
      
   Then there are things like the Slowloris attack that are a DoS (and can   
   be distributed) but likely can't be stopped by traditional methods.   
      
   So, "…which works every time"?  Not likely.
