www.dslreports.com/scan shows how many people have their hard drive for all
to see when they get port scanned. Got to be a worry.

Actually I'm happier that I have a windows firewall rather than *nix. If my
windows box gets broken into, they can't do anything (you know how hard it
is to do anything with windows remotely), where a broken Linux firewall can
do lots of snooping/damage to my internal network.
