Windows Firewall [Pic] (severeshock.com)

How is this analogous to the windows firewall? Does it only block one port or something?


I think it implies that the services which run on the open ports are full of security holes, so the firewall is pretty much useless.


Any chance the site could automatically reject all posts with "[pic]" in the title? Then ban the poster.... then make their computer explode


your comment was "almost" funny


haha, I see what you did there


Bwahahaha, that's awesome. There's an apartment complex near my house that does something like this. It has a manicured rocky slope leading from the courtyard down to heavily used bike/foot trail (Centennial Trail). They have some nice stairs leading down to said trail and, to keep out the riff-raff, about a three-foot gate with a combination lock on it. Not only is the gate easily jumpable, but the rocks on either side are easily climbable.

Security for the win!


I cringe everytime I see someone use Windows on their home PC with an account with Administrator rights


That is one darn secure door though.


The picture kind of fails to capture the idea that people's common sense notions seem to come to a screaming halt whenever computers are involved - no one in their right mind would believe doing things that way makes for a secure home, but it's easy to get people to believe all manner of things with respect to computing.


hopefully paradise will have Windows Firewall
