  7. Re:Funny you mention this on YouTube Breeding Harmful Scientific Misinformation · · Score: 1

    while i am not advocating self-diagnosis via the internet nor disagreeing with you, i think people turn to this because they tire of feeling "inferior" to a doctor (yes i know they have years of training and schooling but hear me out first). an example that comes to mind is a good friend of our family's elderly mother who started acting strange, then having definite tell-tale signs of a stroke. they took her to a hospital, they explained what was happening, how she started acting, what her symptoms were and thought she was having a stroke. the medical staff almost refused to believe them and had an "adults are talking" attitude. THREE HOURS go by, they come back and say yes she is having a stroke and put her on medication. i don't know the innerworkings of medical testing procedures, maybe it does take three hours to test for a stroke, but it seems they could have shaved a lot more time off if they had simply cared about what this family was saying.

  9. Re:Investigation flawed, more like on OS X Leopard Firewall Flawed · · Score: 1

    damn you're STILL wrong. it would reply using the originating source port number. it would ONLY use UDP53 if you are hosting DNS (ie. someone making a request TO you), not only that but most firewalls (consumer-grade) out-of-the-box knows and allows traffic that merely responds to outbound requests. take a look at your home router/firewall, linksys, netgear, d-link, multitech, i'm guessing that you probably don't have a specific entry for forwarding UDP53. that would mean that any INCOMING request on UDP53 would be discarded because the firewall would not know where it goes. the -149 pts still stands, sorry.

  11. Re:CCNA is a joke on Network Warrior · · Score: 1

    ...but from what i hear the old ccna was little more than learning how to navigate the command line. i took the ccna last year through the cisco netacadamy and one of my final projects was simulating a wan using isdn, frame, ppp, and some vlans w/ vtp and some basic stp, not to mention setting up nat and dhcp routers. i had a really good instructor.
