Firewall question
 
#8
I wonder if the melted laptop was one of the Dells with the bad battery. Tongue

Tinfoil... Heh. Reminds me of something I heard a year ago. About how paranoid people would tinfoil their basement to protect against snooping by
"spies".

Well I discovered last year from a friend of mine in the RCMP that all that tinfoil actually acts as a waveguide. It makes it easier to listen in, if that was your intent.

I still don't like softwalls. Essentially in order to stop a malicious attempt, the connect request has to actually connect to the physical end before its
denied. And I don't want malicious software that close to my computer if I can help it. I'll throw a router between me and the internet every time.
