Except that many cable providers already block port 25. Because you might use that to host you own domain...
They give a rats ass about security, but when they smell revenue, they are all over it.
A chemical engineer, electrical engineer and a civil engineer are discussing God.
Chemical engineer: if you consider how nifty this DNA stuff fits together, it is clear God must be a chemical engineer.
Electrical engineer: nonsense. If you look at the human brain and the nervous system, it is obvious that such a powerful system could only have been invented by an electrical engineer.
Civil engineer: God must have been a civil engineer. Who else would run a waste pipeline through a recreational area?
Somewhat related. When I worked for a Telco we used several unix boxen monitor the telephone network. The default settings of the software didn't provide much in the way of redundancy or fail-over. So the -technically - brilliant contractor did that through various smart scripts etc.
However, when we hit a bug in the software the vendor couldn't/wouldn't make it work until all this clever stuff was undone. Lucky for us the contractor was still on the payroll, so he could undo the damage.
Lesson learned: when you are not going to build up the knowledge internally, stick with the defaults and don't change anything at all, or you will be of the deep end when things go wrong.

I bet their next computer requires a blood sample for verification.

Nah, that would only be required for the license
Unless you adjust the settings for search.
