  1. Some background. These packets, TCP or UDP, are means by which one computer program communicates with another. For example, as you browse the Web TCP packets are being sent to (and from) your Web Browser to (and from) the web servers. Other applications may send or receive packets as well. To differentiate the various applications they use something called a port. IP Address = building address. Port = apartment number. Imagine there is an apartment building. To find out if someone lives in an apartment you could send each apartment a letter with a SASE. If you get a reply you can safely say someone lives there. In geek speak we call this probing. These computers all over the world are probing to find out if an application is on that port. If there is one they will now send a identification probe to find out what specific application is on that port. From there they can craft a specific probe to take over the application [1]. Once that is accomplish they can attempt taking control of your computer. But why ? There are two main reasons: 1. they are viruses trying to infect another machine 2. they are botnets (robotic networks) trying to add another machine to their group. Botnets are use for: a. capturing user information for identity theft b. massive spam senders c. dissemination of illicit material d. aiding in attacking computer resources (distributed denial of service) A majority of the botnets are under control of criminal organization who rent these computers out. It is estimated that over 60% of PC around the world are under the control of at least one botnet [2]. Your firewall is the first line of defense in protecting your computer. Hopefully this helps. et [1] this is the reason to keep your computer security updated. [2] it takes about 12 mins for a brand new (unsecured) PC to be taken over by a botnet after it is plug into the Internet.
  2. Free if you are under 18 or over 65. Otherwise its around $10/day.
  3. Someone suggested treating myself to a hotel locally to 'get away' for the weekend. Something like Chateau Laurie or The Arc where its a wonderful stay regardless. Otherwise I outcall only when I'm traveling.
  4. Emotional stress do cause physical manifestations. A RMT could relieve emotional stress by addressing the physical components of it. A MA would add an 'extra' pull to it :grin:
  5. Depends on what you are worrying about and what you are doing about it. Are the things worrying you within your sphere of control ? How likely are they to occur ? Can you mitigate the risk ? Recommended reading include this and this.
  6. Her quote was regarding making out in the car. The term making out is quite ambiguous. What are the boundaries here ? DFK is ok ? No nudity ? Guess it might boil down to what is socially acceptable for public display of affection.....
  7. IANAL In the original article Likely cited under Disorderly Conduct (Criminal Code of Canada SS 173).
  8. Since the rest of your post mentions panties why not purchase said panties from the SP in question ?
  9. Leave it in there. Others will come for the funeral.
  10. Oh man! I read that as my girlfriend's Boy Friend......good thing scottthecanuck put me straight :oops: Sorry spud
  11. Body art.....I like them when they fit a person. For me any tats have the significant that ta moko do to the Maori. Tats that tell a story or have great meaning will always be beautiful regardless of how large or discreet they are. The I-got-it-cause-I-was-drunk tats I can do without seeing. heh.
  12. Next housecleaning request: How to clean a fly encrusted oven
  13. Body image is whats in the head and typically not whats out there.
  14. My social rates are ..... and to be clear there is no private time after. Even Kleenex cost money, right antlerman ? :)
  15. errr......there is no immunization shots for dengue fever. There are some experimental shots in development, afaik trial only started recently. There is actually no known medication for dengue fever, treatment is supportive i.e. they hope you don't die before your body can shake it off by itself. Why bring up this nasty illness ? Florida. Florida started having confirmed cases of dengue fever after many years of no incidents.
  16. Add a touch of brandy in the fruit salad for an extra kick.
  17. Seriously that's partly because the level of participation in the last election was abysmal, lowest ever recorded turnout.
  18. Ladies: erin_xo, Lindsay, Megan's Touch and Megforfun. Men: WrinkledinTime and scottthecanuck
  19. That is a common complain. i have a car charger and it gets its juice when i go to/from work during the weekday.
  20. When I saw your reply the only thing going thru my head was "now I will find out how one dresses up as a giant Kleenex" :handjob: Goth would be interesting........
