The effect of EIM + EIF is that if a private port reaches out to somewhere on the Internet, then anywhere on the Internet can reach back to that port. So a port scan can find it. Off the shelf consumer NAT "routers" tend to have

In many ways, the NAT classification scheme generated from the BEHAVE wg is a lot better. Splitting it in to "mapping" and "filtering" characteristics, and then indicating if each is "endpoint independent" or

I believe they're right, and you're wrong. Quoted depths are usually for Static Pressure, when the item is not moving against the water. My Citizen wrist watch is marked as WR 100, i.e. 100m Static Pressure. That can be used for

As I recall, cancelling out of a Recv() as in a network read can be achieved by setting an expiry time in the past. i.e. on a net.Conn one can use SetReadDeadline() to unblock/cancel a Read().

For IPv4, this could be mitigated on the host by making use of the 16 bit ID field. It is used together with the SRC-IP,DST-IP,PROTO tuple. So if the host generated IDs on such a basis, maintaining a tuple indexed set of IDs (with some tim

A bit nicer than the one I did for a ZX80 many years ago. I simply stripped the membrane key layer off the PCB, and soldered a set of mechanical key caps in place. It worked, and was a lot nicer to use. The key caps were clear (and removab

Why? In English common law, traditionally 7 is the age of reason, 14 the age of an adult, and 21 the age of majority. We'd have 14 year olds off to sea, etc. I suspect (but haven't checked) this comes from some biblical rules. Rem

Ireland is still a member of the EU. Have you considered which side of the road they drive on?

Since this is an article in The Register, the obvious double entendre is the implied reference to underpants, as opposed to trousers. So obviously, folks could still wear pants under their kilt, but what to wear on non Kilt days?

That wouldn't work. Anyone from the GB wanting a USB-C iPhone could just pop across to Ireland (including Northern Ireland - it being in the UK but following EU SM rules), buy one, and take it in to GB.

Maybe, maybe not. I've just bought some new iDevices _now_, in order that they come with Lightning ports, rather than the anticipated USB C on the next model. Specifically because the Lightning port seems the more robust (and easily cl

There are a number of overlapping things. Within the EU, the "four freedoms" apply, of which on "freedom of movement" is the thing mainly at play. The EFTA states have a similar distinct thing between them. How all EFTA

Domestic flights within the UK (e.g. London / Edinburgh) require positive ID checks, since around 1995 or so. So nothing changes regarding flights from NI to GB. There are usually few checks on the ferries, but one is advised to carry

The CTA only applies to British and Irish citizens, others are not allowed to make use of it. So on flights, full ID checks have been in force for entry to the UK for any years - since around 1995 or so. One can still travel between Irelan
