This is all insane $$$.
I have a 130" 1080i front projection and the screen/projector cost me $1100.
(granted you need control of the ambient light ie in a basement).
Firewalls dont present a problem...........i read this as.....the software connects back to home by connecting to TCP port 80. This is the kind of stupid software developer mentality........everyone allows outbound web browsing right ? (no... wrong in my case and the company I work for).
Except you're assuming that you force every network programmer to design their client/server programs the right way.
I've lost count of the number of times my company has had a turf war over a vendor trying to force a badly designed client/server setup on us where for example , the vendors wants to directly connect to 3000 devices on our network. (oh but of course we both use the same RFC1918 space...ie all of it).
So what happens......they ask me to setup 3000 static NATs.
This is the kind of work that makes me pull my hair out, and its all caused by crappy choice by software designers who have no grasp of the issues faced by network/firewall people at the IP layer.
Oh of course, make a rude/insulting remark, and as soon as someone calls you on it, you claim it was a joke.
Why do I think the majority of the human race really needs to be dumped in chlorine and killed off ?
Simply, the ISPs should take responsiblity for traffic leaving their networks onto the Internet.
All spoofed traffic could quite simply be avoided by ALL ISP Internet routers doing the simple task of not forwarding packets with source IP's that dont match the network they come from.
Yes it increases CPU usage on each router, but its a highly effective way of preventing IP spoofing.
The real question is why haven't those clever sods at the ISPs done this already ?

Gotta train that cheap labour from other countries so we can continue to out source jobs to them !

Craig Charles is on Coronation Street now.........I've been away from home way too long it seems.
You distribute a shared secret, it gets compromised you have to update every user with the new key.
What really happens.....people get annoyed with the hassles and either choose a better method, or no encryption at all.
Not a happy future for the current generation of HD players.

I guess you are forgetting First Contact ?
A company that finally "gets it" regarding open source and "hacking" (the good meaning of the word).

If you botheed to RTFA you'd appreciate what effort it took and avoid making idiotic remarks like parent.
