Make it optional! Heck, you could even charge extra to NOT forward all ports. Market it as a security feature. The n00bs and grandmas and such can pay the extra.50 a month and not act as open worm relays with their factory-unsecured WinXP boxen, while the l33t3r of us can use our full access wisely and make sure each port either has a secure app sitting there or is firewalled off. (/rant).
Just don't automatically block ports. Full open TCP/IP is why I signed up with Speakeasy, but they're not available everywhere. Give da peeples a choice, I say.
I agree that it had substance, I merely meant in comparison to the remainder of the pint. Would you really go to the pub for two or three pints of nothing but head?
It's light and fluffy, providing no real substance, but, like with the head on a Guiness, is not only a definitive part of the experience but an excellent place to write your initial.

These are not failures of the security of the protocols. These are failures of the MS implementations of these protocols. Both IIS and Apache use http, and yet one is more secure than the other. Both Exchange/Outlook and Sendmail/(insert favorite MUA here) use smtp, and look at which one spreads virii like the clap. To blame these 'obscure' standards is like blaming the wheel for problems with Ford Explorers rolling over. It's not the standard, it's the piss-poor impementation.
Even some Linux default installs have security holes. It's all in how it's done, not what it's done with. Are we supposed to throw out everything written in C now, too?
It's not the switch/throughput that's the issue. It's the amount of page generation being done by the servers themselves. The high throughput and individual links merely allows the maximum possible number of simulatneous hits from a bandwidth standpoint. The trick here is to do that, AND have your webserver survive, hence the dual box Linux Virtual Server setup. That's the piece that smells the/.ing and tries to load-balance the page generation. That ability should allow this setup to survive most/.ings.
Very inexpensively, I might add. Beats having to buy the hardware for an, I dunno, . . .
The VP of accounting had been, shall we say, non-savvy enough to listen to the IT department's instructions to save all critical data to the network drive instead of the local hard drive. So, naturally, when his desktop machine's Quantum Fireball lived up to its name (as they so often seem to do) we discovered that all his critical data was on that drive. Since losing it was a non-option, I performed a very similar trick to the above. Got it all back, moved it to the network drive. Came THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS close to giving the numbskull a thin client instead of a desktop, but he made nice with my boss and he got a new laptop instead.
does anyone have any of the root passwords yet? Seriously, I think the possibility of MS de-securifying a Linux box by accident is nonzero. HIGH nonzero.
That's one way, but I chose to seperate those two targets for code portability. For example, in another app, I 'make toothpick' and 'make moistened_peas' as preparation for 'make little_model_bridge'.
No! Common error, though. 'make toothpick' satisfies a dependency for 'make clean'. You can't 'make clean' until you 'make toothpick'. It's just too difficult.:)

You WERE kidding, right?
It's where I write all my Perl.

Are you implying that Fox News isn't 100% fair, balanced, and fact-driven? Next you'll try to tell me that Saddam wasn't behind 9/11. ;)
That's why pelicans are so fast!!!!
Mostly AltaVista. Before that? Lycos. Before that? WAIS.

Someone set us up the long-running gag!

Seriously, she's got my vote, for what it's worth.
Of course, I live in Chicago. . .

Maybe my (family_member) will get me one! I should make sure to let (him_her_them) know I'm interested.
Seriously, gotta get me one. Looks awesome.

Really.

Insert random quotation about the hood being helding shut.

Or, alternately, poo.

Of course, I've still got bits stuck between my teeth from the last release. Should have remembered to type 'make toothpick'.
And what's a fatal kernel error?
