What happens when you use your card on a PC that's pwn3d by dozens of pieces of spyware? Does the card use VPN or some kind of encryption wrapper that protects the link between the card and the other end even from a haxored PC?
So? I still think he was an idiot about no passwords. (In fact, he was a jerk by insisting that other people shouldn't use passwords.) That was not some of his "good stuff".
In terms of security, a card is something you have, a biometric like a fingerprint is something you are. (Unless you have fashion accessories that I don't want to know about!:)
Is there no limit to Bill's powers of proclaimations of endings? (Okay, he still has a year to go on the spam, but it'll be ending any moment.. now. Now. Now! Any moment...)
Yeah, Microsoft is that way. Look at all the people who put "5+ years of.NET experiece" on job offers or resumes. Obviously they wouldn't lie about it.:)
This does not have all the goodies that I want. It doesn't have outgoing blocking. It also has a bad security hole in the Subnet security setting (which results in me being constantly peppered with port 137, 445 attempts from people on my ISP who think I'm part of their LAN).
Heh, the only reason that I'm checking it out is because I'm adding support for it to my firewall sound effects program. (Supports ZA now.)
I was configuring Windows Firewall for exactly the small home LAN configuration that you mention. The Subnet setting is inherently insecure, especially with file/printer sharing. (Unless the fixed address for my LAN NIC has it confused?) As for techs knowing better, well, we can always hope, right?:^P
Check the output to their log file. (Switch on logging.) It almost looks like they've got iptables hidden somewhere under the covers. If so, it would nice to access it directly. I don't trust MS to make rational decisions about limiting their own software. They're far too likely to give automatic access to any "cool new feature" that they roll out the door, and have trouble with the idea that people actually own their computers. (Unless I gave that up in one of the EULAs? Knew I should have read closer.)
How do you block outgoing program access? Checking out the Advanced settings doesn't help. Under the Services tab, you can control which listening services are accessable from the Internet, and you can control which ICMP responses are allowed. The Exceptions tab controls which programs are allowed to open listening server sockets. I haven't found anything that allows blocking outgoing programs.
By the way, there's a bad gotcha in the Internet/Subnet/Custom selection. The Subnet setting appears to not be your LAN address range. Rather than using the IP address of the LAN NIC, it uses the DHCP assigned address for the PPP connection. Anyone on your ISP who falls within the 255.255.255.0 IP mask will have access. To properly configure it, you have to use the custom setting and your actual LAN IPs. (Which explains all the 445, 137, etc port attempts that I'm always peppered with from other local people.)
Much exploration was done by people on gullible travels, looking for El Dorado or Hy Brasil. They certainly found lots of stuff, but those yahoos never found their lost cities. (The gold and silver from the Americas was close enough for most of them.)
Perhaps that's a moral for space exploration: Keep looking, you'll anyways find something. Maybe even the Lost Planet of Oil!
P.S. Of course it wasn't on vellum, I'm not trying to hide.
The eruption/explosion of Thera and devestation of the Minoans (and general havoc around the Mediterranean) would have been a good basis for a lost civilization story, and a lot closer to home than the Atlantic or Antarctica (or Mars, etc).
Is there a fine for returning an overdue civilization? At even five cents a day, that's going to be pretty fierce!

Sure, I've had personal experience with Symantec buying up companies, slaying them dead, then animating their living-dead applications for years until they crumble.

It's only recently that the cards have enough storage to run the .NET framework. :)

With SP2, there is no outgoing blocking. When a program not on the exception list tries to open a listening port, there is a pop up.
None of them have LANs? I hope you used the Custom setting rather than Subnet for their file/printer sharing.

C- Needs effort.

It was someone using a dipslime flood through some open proxies, so who knows who it was. Easily filtered.

I saw it last night down at the 7-11. It was wearing an Elvis costume.
By "Troy", you mean Troy VII, right? Even if it wasn't, Schliemann was looking for Troy and found a city. (Several, as it turned out.)
P.S. Your response wasn't even a novella.

Or Troy. Bunch of fools!

But what's the number? Who ya gonna call?
Quick, let's make a P2P plug-in for IIS and Internet Explorer!
If he digs you up in a thousands years, puts you in a museum, and you call him a grave robber, then I'd call him a necromancer.
He claimed she stole human remains from his driveway. I want to know if he explained what human remains were doing on his driveway in the first place.
And what if I'm using xBSD?
