Firewall Elite Boo example essay topic

Starbuxman (11: 45: 02 PM): trying to defend firewalls should be a crime ELITE BOO (11: 46: 17 PM): im not defending them, its only the facts. plus if you try to make that a crime, the world of computers would just laugh at your face ELITE BOO (11: 48: 02 PM): btw, trying to download from nbc i was a bitch, i had to create my own html file to link to them, twice! Starbuxman (11: 48: 40 PM): the facts are a simpler, cleaner system is the way to go. Virus protection, firewalls and other idiocy only inhibit progress. and the firewall would indeed inhibit an installation if it were one of the many programs / crap /variables free on the internet. Each time i send someone on AIM a file, they have to disable the firewall.

This is lost time. Starbuxman (11: 48: 58 PM): And NBC I isn't a bitch (or if it is, dont say it) r they use PHP, at fer all Starbuxman (11: 49: 08 PM): and sexy apache ELITE BOO (11: 50: 24 PM): ive always had a firewall on while you sending me something through aim and never had to turn it off, shows how much you know about the ELITE BOO (11: 50: 25 PM): starbuxman (11: 50: 52 PM): hey senor i know plenty. kevin has a firewall. he has to turn it off. ELITE BOO (11: 51: 01 PM): without having a firewall installed on your pc is a performance of idiocy ELITE BOO (11: 51: 27 PM): kevin's firewall therefor sucks or he has not configured it properlyStarbuxman (11: 51: 49 PM): and youre the one who uses it -- youre te one whos lacking in knowledge. performance - another reason why firewalls can suck it -- theyre one more thing that inhibits my computers performance ELITE BOO (11: 51: 58 PM): firewalls dont only come in the form of software ni ether, they are more common as hardware ELITE BOO (11: 52: 41 PM): if a firewall lacks your computers performance so much that you notice it, then its quite obvious that your computer sucksStarbuxman (11: 52: 59 PM): my old computer did suck. Starbuxman (11: 53: 01 PM): and in those cases theyre not only all of the above, theyre expensive. basically there's not a single reason to use firewalls but to protect you from yourself. Starbuxman (11: 53: 14 PM): hardware. oy. Starbuxman (11: 53: 29 PM): now youre making it an expense too. no thanks.

ELITE BOO (11: 55: 33 PM): of course there expensive, but its a single payment of 24 hr protection... and how the hell can you say the only use of a firewall is to protect yourself from you? that just shows of how much an idiot you can be when it comes down to this. firewalls are to protect your pc and the precious files you have stored in it from the corruptive users of the internet Starbuxman (11: 58: 11 PM): ' that just shows of how much an idiot you can be when it comes down to this. ' have i called you an idiot? no. Don't lower yourself to it either. and firewalls also cause tech support in leading law firms to come in and trouble shoot a network comp for hours because a network deployed application didnt correctly install. the reason? some moron thought a firewall would be good idea inhibiting network with. exes. Firewalls do in the end tax your system if only a teeny bit and they provide fodder to the fire when your system is itching for something to excuse a crash. Starbuxman (11: 59: 03 PM): and firewalls do protect you from yourself: if youre awkward enough to expose yourself then you deserve to have to every file and download monitored real time while it taxes your comp.

Starbuxman (11: 59: 43 PM): through in a virus check and you have another source of revenue for a company, as well, all because youre paranoid. Starbuxman (12: 00: 31 AM): why are you paranoid? because youve might have caused or incited a virus from someone or you might have worked in something that would provoke an attack. either way you shouldnt need a firewall in life. Starbuxman (12: 01: 42 AM): for when they do work, it aint worth the work involved establishing and maintaining one. especially a hardware one. tiny software may be a nicely site... but the fact that they make a good living off of your fear in lack of neti zen manners is sadStarbuxman (12: 02: 27 AM): then there's the fact that ve not seen a pretty taskbar icon... Starbuxman (12: 03: 59 AM): and can the above be null? yep. sometimes people do go out and randomly attack. but the cost of buying one of these mothers would be better spent on a means of securing your data so you can recover from a reformat. your system stays cleaner anyway. ELITE BOO (12: 06: 46 AM): im sorry for the name calling but you put yourself in the hole... the law firm example that you used is also a horrible example, it just showed that they didnt know how to install it properly or use theyre own firewall... and how can you expose yourself anymore than already just by being on the internet? just by having a ip address whether dynamic or not makes you exposed. your connection to the internet just made you exposed! the only reason why companies have virus scanners is not because there employees down off the web, its because they bring diskettes in from home of there work which could have been infected by something that they download on there own pc and the virus scanner should stop you from opening it and exposing it to the network... i am paranoid because i get attacks on my computer when im online just by being online reading a email or search in yahoo or whatever... ELITE BOO (12: 07: 33 AM): all this completely shows in every view that you would die and fall if you where to run your own network connected to the internet ELITE BOO (12: 10: 14 AM): if you where correct then why doesn every network on the internet run a firewall? microsoft, starbucks, apple, yahoo, google, hot wired, etc... why hell, the whole gang runs a firewall ELITE BOO (12: 10: 58 AM): doesn = doesStarbuxman (12: 11: 33 AM): so be it. i'd rather have to clean up than to have to fear every person i meet or protect myself from nothing. that one time when it does hit me, ill be backed up. and a backup protects me from system failure, user idiocy, outer viruses, and jackass hackers. a firewall protects me from one of them - the outer viruses. further the backup isnt as taxing as a real time monitor on the comp which makes less likely that ill ever need to use the backup. to say nothing of it being cheaper.

Starbuxman (12: 14: 21 AM): and i am correct. firewalls are stupid. theyre not beneficial in the long run. i dont care wether starbucks or apple or google runs them. quantity doesnt assure validity. there were after all more nazis then jews and more democrats than republicans. Starbuxman (12: 15: 59 AM): as a conservative im a firm believer in the idea behind a firewall -- that proaction is in the end better than reaction. but for the cost in this particular case, it isn't worth it. ELITE BOO (12: 16: 03 AM): what are you saying? the backup is the supreme taxing, when you have especially a network that's supposed to be up and ready to go at all times and all of a sudden its crashed by a cracker (not a hacker), how long do you think it will take you to recover your whole network of computers... you must reinstall all the software, place back all the configurations, and all the documents that could be extremely vital that havent been backed up yet because back ups dont go by the second, only like a week or something Starbuxman (12: 16: 40 AM): and as weve seen by supposed experts like microsoft, if they wanna hack you, they will. firewall or not. Starbuxman (12: 17: 28 AM): and a backup isnt extremely taxing. most companies perform one during lunch and during fte r hours. the documents are stored on the network, central, and its a piece of cake to pop in a tape drive and back 'em up.

ELITE BOO (12: 17: 51 AM): yes but its going to require a whole lotta enforcement for them to hack you. without having the firewall you make yourself a standing target for every newbie cracker and wanna starbuxman (12: 17: 56 AM): if youre on any kind of network at all then you have network licenses meaning you can isnt all quark from one comp on 30 ELITE BOO (12: 19: 14 AM): true, but you lose time and business, in a network, that is very vital and you as a republican should know that Starbuxman (12: 20: 24 AM): so that takes care of os, documents, and software. nd as the backups are one time shots, that is they happen once and then dont bother you, theyre much less taxing. There will of course be exceptions. there again its taken care of. if youre monitoring anything that important behind a fire all or not you have it backed up constantly (which is why SQL Server has more than enough options for real time backups, not protection) Starbuxman (12: 20: 32 AM): replication, i think it was calledStarbuxman (12: 21: 07 AM): with a fire wal youd have the backup and the firewall, making it slower. either way youre gonna haver th e backup. Starbuxman (12: 23: 37 AM): and while you do lose time if you have to restore from a backup, the one time loss is considerably less than all the time invested in a firewall -- hardware especially. Starbuxman (12: 24: 06 AM): which brings us round trip to my point: firewalls arent the solution. Starbuxman (12: 24: 16 AM): theyre the beginnings of a problem, even ELITE BOO (12: 24: 24 AM): of course sql has backing up options because its a database and a database doesnt protect itself, it rely's on firewalls and other techniques and it doesnt matter if your backing up anything through a firewall anyways because its doing it through LANStarbuxman (12: 26: 50 AM): and the end result's more time is spent but he computers. and just because its a database doesnt immediately mean it " ll back itself up. important network apps, however, will, and usually do. they do this, despite the firewalls. the reason: it's a better and safer way to run. can be configured to auto save the last however many iterations of a document, for example. same with word and lotus notes. Starbuxman (12: 27: 19 AM): my sql doest back itself up. the baking up is what separates sql server from access and the rest., ELITE BOO (12: 28: 34 AM): blah, there is nothing more to be said on my side besides ive proven my points and i rest my caseStarbuxman (12: 28: 43 AM): same here.

Starbuxman (12: 29: 03 AM): ELITE BOO (12: 29: 08 AM): so, im pressing the F 5 button, how are you? Starbuxman (12: 29: 26 AM): surprisingly horny. ELITE BOO (12: 29: 43 AM): stuff i didnt need to know and lived a life with a futureStarbuxman (12: 31: 09 AM): doing tomorrow @ 3 ish? ELITE BOO (12: 31: 51 AM): im going to be at the mall.
