XP SP2 crippled itself in the name of "Security", by removing access to raw sockets. They caved into Steven Gibson's ranting and raving about how raw socket support was going to kill the internet... too bad there's still 3rd party packet drivers that reenable the functionality.

You're assuming meth is the only cause of the ban. What about dextromethorphan? Another relatively harmless drug(when used correctly), but highly psychoactive.
How will this affect NAS? Am I not allowed to have a computer dedicated to storing my music now? What about actual commercial products that are labeled speicifically for NAS?
Hrm... What if a full scale multi-megapixel image was posted? W/O resizing, and 8megapixels, the genitals could easily take up the full screen, and appear to be the focus, while actually not zoomed in on anything but the subjects face.
A software firewall would not be sufficiant, as they would have surely thought of this and the packets would be constructed at a higher level than the firewall and injected directly... Come to think of it, this is a good thing. Windows might actually have *gasp* privilege seperation soon.
No, a software firewall wouldn't work (and are a poor excuse for security) I just think the range of IPs used will get a DROP rule on my nat, so that the data never gets there, and I never recieve any.
True. And then a third person would chime in and say fluxbox, and then a fourth would chime in with xfce. Before you know it, there are jihad's and tribal wars going on.

Assault rifle, not machine gun.
Putty, a private/public key pair, openvpn, ultravnc, winscp, firefox, and I always have a copy of backtrack on me.
Intel has got a sale going or something like that...
Yes, because they understand that the pipes known as the internet are a great tool. Not.
Well.... that'd explain the dupes.
Fucking lag! If we were on a better server, that so wouldn't have happened.

Stop complaining. My first laptop weighed more than my desktop.
I don't need the heat of a xeon in my pocket. Oh wait, this is a cellphone? Whatever. Still applies.
In-LAN communication, such as NAS devices, wireless security webcams, etc etc.
Nice post... complete with spelling errors! I think the word you're looking for is "relevant".

Come on. Chant it with me people. R-I-A-A GO AWAY

The point is that mucking around with the inner workings of the OS is BAD
You must be new here.
I automated my home with HAL 9000. It works wonders. But I can't seem to find my dad...
Why are a few people here blaming Google? It's not Google's fault that people are too ignorant to know the meaning of a word.
Why in the name of all that is noodly is this modded insightful while child is modded funny? Ugh.
What could you possibly buy with $0.10?

And that sir, is why my router blocks phone-home traffic(although I have to add the addresses manually)
Why is this modded off topic? It's totally relevent. You people need to read more than one sentance of a comment to properly moderate it.

Really? I thought they just made iPods. Oh look a new one's out!
