Deal! My PayPal account is tohell@mensa.se 🙂


To all other readers: I'll give you a free life-time license to laugh at it an unlimited number of times (though with a decreasing amount of joy)... However, editorial use of the photo isn't free, and that's the reason why I joined in here today. Every now and then editorial magazines find that image on the net and wants to use it - they have a hard time finding me to get the publishing license though, since my name is stripped from the image on many sites. Well, you'll find me at tohell@mensa.se

Trivia: The motif was found in Slagsta, outside Stockholm, Sweden in the summer of 2003.
When I saw it I thought of a recent statement by H.Fragner in SKOM: "Firewall on Windows'98 feels like fitting a safety-door on a tent"... I shot it, called it "Win'98 with firewall - the chain is no weaker than its strongest link"... it spread on the net and soon it was updated to Win'XP.

Funny stuff.

Is XP's built in firewall that bad? Maybe I should reinstall Sygate or Kerio.

sygate is awesome, check it out. I haven't used kerio though.

Sygate owns... back when my PC was right on the net, it's the one I used. :thumbsup:

The XP Firewall is ok though, just not that many options and features, it is an on or off thing.


Sure... that's just what the photo suggests: A strong gate that could be open or closed, and when it's closed nothing gets through - but what good is an "OK Firewall" if you still can jump right in at the side of it through the security hole of your choice.
