Is Keith Richards still alive in 2036?

No.

W00ps you failed, sorry but that was a trick question.

Nothing can kill Him.

Nah, nah, nah 
If he'd stand behind Chuck Norris who had too much of them burritos, i bet Keith would have no chance to survive...

Ahh the old immovable object vs irresistible force argument.

What's a port scan?

Arrie, I am not talking down to you at all, this is genuine advise;

if you are going to use the internet you should educate yourself about the basic mechanics of the hazards involved.

That's why I'm asking, I can't protect myself if I don't know what to protect me from.

Lets start with explaining what a port is.
I always thought that a port is those things that you plug your USB cable into, but I get the sense that I might be wrong.

[Arriemoller]

Ah, fuck it, there's always something with computers.
FUCK COMPUTERS!!

I'm going to bed.

Ah......

Are you saying that if some are green, then they are not worthless (at least not in the last 30D)?
 

...it's best we don't discuss them here anyway.

[jojo69]

I feel you man.

I do not come to it naturally.

The entire shields up portion of gibsons site is about protecting your ports.

I read this name mindrust a lot, can someone remind me who that was ??

JJG perhaps??

There once was a coiner, whose name was mindrust,
He posted in WO, and gained our trust.
But little did he know,
He would suffer a blow,
When he did the unthinkable, and sold all his stash!

Even r0ach would agree that this move was quite baffling,
It's Bitcoin 101, you just don't sell pre-Halving.
But his mind was all rusted,
It was Masterluc he trusted,
So he blindly followed his all-bearish rumbling!

He blames COVID-19 for his panic reaction,
"Armageddon is coming, I just had to take action."
Now his Bitcoins are sold,
He is turning to gold,
In a desperate attempt to get some satisfaction.

Many WO'ers advised him to buy back some corn,
But he just couldn't live with the thought of being wrong.
Now he hears of Bitcoin,
And gets a pain in his groin,
Because deep down he knows, that his chance is now gone!

I know that those limericks are shitty as hell,
And I know that Jimbo's shit, as everyone's, smell.
I just hope that they serve,
To help us all keep our nerve,
And never ever give in to the pressure to sell!

And if all of the above hasn't made you, mindrust,
Reconsider, and quickly get some corn in your stash,
It won't be r0aches or ants,
At the seat of your pants,
But the boot of a HoDLer kicking your stubborn fat ass!

What's a port scan?

HTTP port is 80

Email or SMTP is 25

https://www.webopedia.com/quick_ref/portnumbers.asp
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers

Theres a whole list but the main point would be as you are a viewer on the net not a web server or an email server so any port you use is specific time limited not open, why would traffic be coming to you without request so you dont want open ports like open doors.  You only open a port like you open the front door, hence the idea of shieldsup is check you are not leaving yourself open to be a server. 
   The biggest or most common danger where this occurs is people on the net via cable, it can be very poor security or at least used to be and strangers will scan your machine and retrieve files etc.   Shouldn't happen nowadays but thats the most frequent occurrence historically, nowadays they'll attack via phishing etc which is an attempt to convince you to grant them permission of some kind.   If you google iobit and use that software you shouldn't find its any trouble to it, not going to argue whose best but they arent the worst and it uninstalls when you ask which can be right after 1 free use.

ports can be an open door into your computer. its why you dont want them open except for very specific circumstances.

there are ~64k ports. some are dedicated to certian functions. others are chosen by the program.

for example the bitcoin wallet uses ports to find and communicate with other nodes.
