    Constantly whining about this shit is just as lame as correcting people for saying Linux instead of GNU/Linux.

    BUT WHY THE FUCK DO YOU NEED TO POINT IT OUT ALL THE TIME? Everyone knows this. And it doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look like a smug asshole.

    Can't you discuss without coming up with crappy analogies that have nothing to do with this? The argument is that NAT DOES NOT PROVIDE SECURITY. Well it does most of the time. No-one is saying that NAT is needed (if they do, they're morons). But that NAT DOES NOT PROVIDE SECURITY is a fucking lame statement because in 99,9999% of the times, it drops all incoming connections if a user haven't decided to forward a port or an IP.

    So if you come up with a bad enough analogy you automatically win the argument? Socks is very often used without shoes so that doesn't count. NAT isn't used very often without a firewall.

    I never RTFA. But my point is i'm just annoyed by people trying to act like such network experts by pointing out NAT != FIREWALL. It's getting OLD.

    blablablabla. i99% of the times, NAT is in conjunction with a stateful firewall. That's why people say NAT = FIREWALLED.

  14. Re:stating the obvious... on Are Desktop Firewalls Overkill? · · Score: 1

    I lock my apartment-door but also the door to the building. My apartment is trusted so i don't look doors inside. I don't trust my neighbours fully, but more than i trust the street so i won't lock the door if i'm just going out to throw out the trash. In other words. I firewall between subnets and use software firewalls on the clients just because i can. I feel relatively safe without them, but why not? There's very little administrative overhead. The alternative would be to Subnet every machine or use something like private vlan, which I don't have the equipment to use.

    HTML5 wants to be as good as native apps. How do you do that without compromising security? ALLOW YES OR NO for the whole fucking internet. Good luck. Google thinks their Chrome store is the security model of the future. Everything is denied, except when you download a web app from chrome store. SInce it's google you can trust them. And finally the web is owned by google. NICE

    I use keepass and dropbox to sync the keepass database between my most used computers. The downside is that I can't access stuff i don't remember when i'm not at one of those computers. Before keepass i just used 3 or 4 different passwords for every site.

    Yeah I agree that's nice. But a fee for access to the market where everything should be safe is a good idea. If someone wants to manually download .apks thats fine. I've done it time to time. But the market place should not be riddled with stuff i'd only compare with spam.
