I once saw a common garden snail accerate at 9.51 m/s/s but that doesn't 
prove anything. Plus this is a firewalls mailing list, we don't dicuss
lame stuff like NT vs Unix, every newsgroup and irc channel already does
that atleast once a week. Firewalls mailing list discusses this subject
atleast twice a day.

Real admins wonder if NT is C2 or not, and how to convice your boss
that quakeworld is really a graphical representation of 
Evil Hackers (tm) attacking the network, and the only way to stop
them is to use the rocket launcher, with quad damage and a strenght rune.
