No, the gateway or direct host has ALL PORTS CLOSED, however it does log port requests. If the log shows the knocking sequence, then and only then, will it open a port.
If your only button choices are "Previous" and "Next", how do you know when you've successfully appplied the security restrictions you wanted on the computer.
The Wall Street Journal had an article today about the HP - Apple deal. (No link because you have to have a subscription to read it.) Anyway, the gist of the article was that MS was completely blown away by this deal. They didn't expect it. Also, they were not concerned because the iPod will NEVER support WMA. I think a quote was something like, "we don't understand why HP would isolate itself so much from the 'mainstream'". Mainstream meaning that everybody else uses WMA.
I though everybody else used MP3s, but what do I know. I'm a weirdo using Ogg/Vorbis.
Wow, that's a lot of new features, real fast. They couldn't have done it without some kind of help. I think they stole Xiph's code (Ogg/Vorbis). Let's sue. $1 Billion?
The media attention is only in our techie world. If you ask someone who does not work in IT or and MCSE, they won't know what you're talking about.
It's sad really.
1) Don't worry about it. It's not likely to happe. Many posters seem to have this opinion, and I tend to agree with them.
2) Go get yourself a PCHDTV card now. (Linux users only.) It puts the raw Transport Stream packets into/dev/dtv0. You can just write them to a file. MPlayer will play the stream. The 'broadcast flag' must be acknowleged by your player/recorder to prevent recording. I just don't see the MPLayer folks taking the time to implement it. And, if they do, use/* */ to fix the problem.
There's a difference between getting your site hacked because your ISP forces you to use FTP giving hackers clear text id/password combos to use and your computer being hacked because the software is buggy.
This open ssh bug is "believed" to be a vulnerability, but they didn't want to worry about trying to find out if it was. They found the bug in a code audit and fixed it. They weren't forced to reveal it because of a threat of bad publicity.
And finally: With the report last week of Linux being the most-breached operating system
A very misleading statement, as this study only counted breachs by a human hacker and not a auto-vulnerability (worm, virus, etc.). There own statistics prove this, note the following lines from the article:
The economic damage from the attacks, in lost productivity and recovery costs, fell below average in August, to $707-million (U.S.).
The overall economic damage in August from overt and covert attacks as well as viruses and worms stood at an all-time high of $28.2-billion.
Clearly, overall server attacks were down while just as clearly, all attacks were up. In fact, server attacks were 1/40th of the economic cost of all attacks. The dwindling cost of server attacks is probably attributed to the continued movement of web servers to apache and away from anything MS.
If a Judge determines that SCO bought Calera -- without knowing that Caldera was distributing their stolen copyrighted code -- and they continued the normal operations of Caldera until such time as they figured out that "Hey, this is our code!" , then they promptly took legal action, it could be argued that they did not knowingly agree to the license.
Except that it was Caldera that owned the Unix rights as well, so it was BOTH Caldera that owned the Unix code and distributed it.
Remember, Caldera bought SCO, then renamed itself to SCO.
Go buy a copy of Partition Magic. Resize the C drive down, then install Linux.
But don't complain that Toshiba/MS forces you to buy extra software just to do something your PC should be able to do out of the box.
Here's other things you can do when:
MS's buggy DRM prevents you from playing the MP3 rips of your OWN CDs.
Buy another copy of the CD for each computer you have.
MS makes it illegal to USE 3rd party remote control software.
Buy a terminal services license for each PC you want to connect to.
George Bush makes false claims in order to go to war.
Just say to yourself, "Self, the CIA told George to say these things. George knows not what he sayeth."

Pay them off so they stop voicing them. I have a PayPal account.
Yeah and anybody else who's curious about something that I and the parent poster think is boring, just don't post your questions where we might be able to see it and not care enough about your pointless question that we feel the need to point out how pointless your questions is and how we really don't care about it.
...and probably taken out of context. These quotes were made about a week ago. The comments also seemed to be in response to Microsoft's recent actions (no more Mac IE, no more stand alone IE).
Marc's probably pretty annoyed that his comments are getting misconstrued this way.
The dynamic menus are a great idea, but has anybody else had unpredictable experiences with them. Certain program groups that I never go into "Accessories" never go away, and certain others that I use seem to be gone on Monday mornings. Are built in groups less susceptible to being hidden and are user made ones time sensitive? Also, I have one group that I created myself that always displays, but every sub group is initially hidden. (This is XP, BTW, I didn't notice any problems in Win2k. I really need to downgrade.)
I use WindowMaker on Linux just because I'm so used to getting my "Start"-like menu whenever I right click right next to my mouse.
I dare you, like I've done before, to show me a single Windows process (excluding the web crap) that has MSHTML and WININET loaded after a clean boot finishes
I dare you to show me a single DOS system that boots with the command prompt loeaded (excluding the command prompt and any other programs that might be running) after a clean boot.
Attempt at humor aside, but load Zone Alarm or Norton Internet Security and you'll be surprised at the programs that attempt to access the internet on a clean boot without putting the WININET process into memory.
SQL Server can't even start if prevented from phoning home. (Not that that happens on a typical workstation's clean boot, just mine at work.
Stop arguing the point! The instructions for using MD5 to compare the source code were given yesterday as a way of determining the matching code without violating the NDA. The inquirer article.
My company in particular thought it took a week to design, build, and publish an entire website.
It only takes a day or two to really learn the CSS rendering differences between IE and how the styles should be rendered. IE6 isn't really that far off.
So, if you spent an hour or so during the course of each website you do, then after about 4 to 8 websites, you'd be able to stop using FrontPage.
I see, because that $30,000 Microsoft donated to Bush
Microsoft's Donations by Year by Party (according to opensecrets.org):
2000 - $4,711,103 Dems: 46% Reps: 53%
2002 - $4,140,048 Dems: 41% Reps: 59%
This works out to a bit more than the "typical" $30,000 that you (let's be honest here) pulled out of your buttocks.
The 2000 $ went mostly to presidential races while the 2002 $ went mostly to senate and house races (I have no stats to back that up, but we can safely assume > $30,000.)

They're written by Daniel Robbins of Gentoo fame and are quite good.

Hey! "Next" is greyed out! Now what do I do?
Why hasn't anyone else picked up the story?

This article at securityfocus says IE 6 and possibly earlier versions of IE. No Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Links, Safari, Konq, Firebird, etc.

The story's page gives me the typically descriptive MS Error: Object Required.
Sci and Tech home gives me: Out of storage space.
Probably admin's fault, but I'd rather blame MS.

Thanks for the solution!
