Hey it's an email message from someone I don't know! Lemme just double click on this here attachment! Oh no wait! Outlook did it for me!
(And you *know* normal people should have that many exclamation marks. They just always sound so chirpy... Makes you feel like slapping them. ;) )

all of these M$ windows users "SHOULD" realize that M$ will always have ongoing bug, and virus problems, and should not be suprised when an intruder dimoloshes their system.
if they were in linux they could mess with IP chains! :D

Yeah, great. Except IP Chains (2.2) is useless when compared to IP Tables (2.4).
Geeze.

ip tables are good.

Outlook has caused literally Millions of dollars in damage thru the years, just due to the fact that it automagically forwards "code" to any/everyone in the address book, and Yet Uncle bill has yet to fix this garbage. So actually the US Gov't is to blame, since it has not forced uncle bill to fix his software, and instead just goes after the writers of virii.
hhmmm, ponder that for a while.

Geeze.
Chains are also in 2.4. They are not useless.
Stateful firewalling has some distinct advantages but stateless firewalling requires less RAM and CPU overhead.
