Why don't ISP's provide firewall software?

ISP's like to get all the software you need to use the internet, why don't they include a firewall? I've been using ZoneAlarm for a year now, no problems. In fact, it's fun to run traceroutes on the bastages that try to break in.
Just look a any galaxy, they look like suds going down the tub drain. We are going to sucked into a black hole someday, well the atoms that we are made of will.
I got my TRS80 back in '78. For some reason I ordered the tbug monitor software. Just sounded like something I should get. Well, the software (on tape) included a small book. I would spend lots of time looking at the pages of this little book. I decided that it must have dropped from a flying saucer. Made no sense at all. Till I got another book called "The Z80 Cookbook". Then I said, "oh, thats what it means!".
My son had about half of the Perfect Circle CD on mp3 before it was released. We bought a copy the day it was released. Then he completed his mp3 collection.
Would Dynamite Hack be played on a local station if not for mp3s????? Probably not.
My son has had roughly half of the new Perfect Circle album for about a month now, as MP3's. He bought the CD Tuesday, it day it was released.
I don't know if this was just a clever marketing trick or what. But, I think it was brilliant to release part of the CD as MP3's to build interest!
I worked for a company that did this

It was 1979, and all through the plant there where terminals. I had to ask. They called it TIOLR. It was magic! You could sit down at any one of them and send a "msg" to any other plant.
Even on the other side of the world!
So I say to all the companys that are starting to do this, "welcome to the party!".
As I get older, I have more time behind me to ponder. I like to think back to 1978 standing there in a computer store watching a woman move a whole paragraph with just a few keystrokes. I was just blown away.
She was using a Sol. Those were the best days for me.
And the graphics on the Apple II, pure magic!
I'd like to open a computer museum that looks like an "old style" compter store. Have lots of magazines from the period.
I have an old 10 meg hard drive on my bookshelf here at work. It's huge. It originally sold for over $700. That kind of thing would make a cool display too.

I'm just now enjoying my 19" monitor. Paid $170 for it. Much cheaper than the 14" it replaced. Someday!

Was the Library at Alexandria a giant server farm?

Be funny for it to start saying the contents of your address book in the worst possible place.
Or, it could start to make connections from the information and flip out like HAL.
Give it the voice of Marvin from the Hitchhiker tapes!!!!!!!

So yeah, have pitty on newcomers!
He could call it "The Sound of Music", people will still line up around the block to see it.
Disk drive companies have got to be exicted about this kind of thing and Napster too!

Thanks
Bought 8 4116's in 1980 for $50.
I bought a 380 meg in 1993 at Sams Club for about
$380.
Yesterday they had an emachine+15" monitor for
$400!
Give them away!
When I get my "always on" internet at home,
I want to watch for crackers and try to
link back to them. Seems like it would
be fun and educational.
Surely a program could watch for "attacks" and
just let them in. Try to hold thier attention
long enough to trace back to them.
Or am I just crazy?

Just time tripping.
I've found a good search engine to be the
best reference.
Take the cost of most any programming
manual and compare it to the cost of
one month's internet service.
The cost of the book is roughly 1.5 months
of internet service.
Or, if you are like me, do it at work for free!
If amazon.com went bankrupt, would all the
stockholders fight over all those bookracks?
How much do you think the bookracks will sell
for, they have been used.
See what I mean?
How many millions of people have learned about Napster thanks to your lawsuit?
That was just too funny.

Maybe MicroS should have been greasing the politicians for years now. Maybe they wouldn't be in trouble now.
Maybe?
Kids raised with no rights will not miss
them when they are grown.
Very simple thing to do.
Especially in a free country.
Just look around at what is happening.
In the good old days of home satillite systems, you could watch anything you wanted to. For free.
That started to slowly change.
I expect the same here.
To bad too.
