His choice of the place was a bit unfortunate. He should have asked in the networking section of this forum.
Just give it to him/her. For me to give answers, one doesn't need to earn a right. One may loose the right by making me unhappy.Should he earn the right to this information or should we just give it to him (or her)?
No, it's the legislature's fault to allow questionable techniques instead of making them illegal. If this answer doesn't completely satisfy you, then it's the people's fault to give their money to inapt bankers. Furthermore, the money isn't gone, it just changed its owner... Either way, the bankers can't be blamed for legal behavior which rewarded them in the short term.According to this logic, then it's the monetary system's fault that so many US wall-street bankers abused and harmed it, unwatched.
If you feel threatened by the possibility that some newbie may do harm to your system by sending you some SYN requests, then who's to blame? If you leave your front door visibly open, would you blame the thief for stealing your stereo? I wouldn't.
