    with cards, what stops a pissed-off cow-orker from
    clocking you out several hours early? or simply hiding
    or destroying your card? ever try to get a replacement
    card at the start or end of a swing shift when no-one able to
    issue such things is available?

    it's not just illicit clock-ins that screw up the system.

    not "even if". the WoD did some serious stomping.

    and that's exactly how a slippery slope is implemented.
    first the little "justifiable" incursions on your rights, then
    build on that with each successive artfully whipped up
    faux panic-of-the-moment.

    hey, if you are innocent you need not fear your government.

  15. Re:But... on More On Detecting NAT Gateways · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the only sensible firewall is a physically separate
    machine. (not some app running under your windows).

    anyone who desires real security suddenly has a NAT
    situation and in violation of the one-machine ISP
    rules. (one host? 'host' is a loaded term best
    avoided). and most modern cheap retail router
    boxes for consumers places them into this situation.

    but of course removing the ability for individuals
    to have real security is a modern day goal anyway.

    if checking consistency of TTL is the method, then
    obviously someone will implement a twittering TTL.
    (small variances near but not always at 128 say)

    does the industry REALLY want to encourage protocol
    mangling just so they can say you cant run a firewall?

    they also seem to ignore that it *is* currently

    possibly because the mp configuration uses
