The good thing about ports is that, due to their alcohol and tannin content, you *CAN* leave them open much longer than more typical wines. I have a nice port (Fonseca) sitting open on my bar at home. I take a couple of nips from it every evening, and then replace the glass stopper on the carafe. It is a wonderful way to end the work-day. Go grab yourself a 10-year Tawny and you'll see what I mean.
You do need to be careful with how many ports you have open. I find after a couple of ports my work product increases. After a few more, it tends to decrease, exponentially going downhill with each subsequent port. You need to be especially careful with a root prompt and several open ports late at night.
For extra kicks, blind taste a Tawny against a Madeira.
My idea was basically a hack version of one of these, built into the client so that the human wouldn't have to enter the number (and lag the negotiation time past the deadline).
An additional step here would be to have both machines (server, client) seeded with the same randomly-generated number and then, utilizing the same algorithm, generate a random port sequence for knocking. This sequence would be valid for 10 to 30 seconds, at which point the sequence for proper knocking is re-generated.
I'm guessing this would need to be tied to Time of Day, necessitating accurate time; so either an external GPS device or an NTP connection would be required.
This is just some off-the-cuff speculation, so don't flame me for the holes.

I had submitted a story about this the day it happened (a few days ago) but for some reason it didn't make the cut. I guess underpowered web servers are sexier than underpowered application servers..(?)
The dish might be fine, but you'd need to set the correct frequency. You'd also need one hell of a super-low-noise amp in order to pick the signal out of the background noise. That's the difference between "deep-space" and Earth orbit signals.
Question for the real radio guys out there:
Is the size of the dish on a radio telescope analogous to the size of the mirror on a more typical visible-light telescope?
or the pain of REMOVING DRAM chips, only to have one pin bend 45 degrees forward, snapping off when you try to return it to more-or-less normal position.
Remember how much fun it used to be to R&R your processor in the days before ZIF?
So you'd prefer MS's fix, which is not a "fix" as much as it is a mere reactionary removal of functionality?
BTW: in Mozilla I never see *only* "http://www.microsoft.com" in the Location bar when the link is actually sending me to "http://goatse.cx", no matter how the link is formatted. A quick look at the Location bar shows me something is not quite right with the URL.
* For example, an attacker could create a link that once clicked on by a user would display http://www.tailspintoys.com in the address bar, but actually contained content from another Web Site, such as http://www.wingtiptoys.com. (Note: these web sites are provided as an example only, and both redirect to http://www.microsoft.com.)
The link "tailspintoys.com" actually goes to "tailspingtoys.com" (which is not resolved at all).
Don't forget it's also a good idea to have a proper grounding wire run from the dish. I knew a guy who had problems with his otherwise-properly-aligned dish. I bought $10 worth of solid-core groundwire, ran it, clamped it on his water supply pipe (after sanding off the 20 historical layers of exterior latex paint), and he's not had a problem since (rain, high winds, and bird shit be damned).
Good thing, too.. I like watching hockey at his place...
Do you know how many *YEARS* it took for me to get my fucktard room mates to stop putting bottles of Corona beer in the freezer "so it would be ice-cold when I get home"?
The effect is especially amusing when you have an automatic icemaker with a door dispenser. Shards of clear glass are amazingly transparent when interspersed with ice cubes.
And, in fact, fighting an ideal (that which fuels the "terrorism") with violence only serves to swell the ranks of those who subscribe to that ideal. How many new terrorists do you suppose we created with our unjustified war against Iraq? How many new terrorists do you suppose Sharon creates every time he sends armored bulldozers in to drop a couple of Palestinian homes?
Terrorism is the only weapon which cannot be destroyed. As long as large numbers of people are made to feel such intense hatred, terrorism (in all its many forms) will continue to exist.
All that can be done is: A) total extermination (not likely, and never as effective as it sounds) B) adjusting actions so that "terrorism" ceases to appear an attractive option.
Never forget that to King George, the US Founders were terrorists.
