My opinion is that the most common cause of security breeches is not having a good router 
and other firewall protection.  No, not the firewall junk on weendoze.

If a cracker cannot reach my system, then he can do no harm.

Anybody here that opens something that they don't already know about gets kicked off the 
network.  Then it's not my problem.
