Stereo is going to be pretty realistic for most things

I agree. I've used a Sony DSP pre-amp years ago which had all the bells and whistles for modifying surround sound and effects. That was more of a thing to play around with as listening to a stereo with speakers placed just right is the only way to seriously listen to music.
I've played with a few sets of speakers until I build my own ultimate speakers and with the right recordings I hear sound surrounding me just as it would with a surround set.

Following discussions on diyaudio.com I've experimented with the placement of small KEF Q15 speakers. Now placed on the ground firing straight at the back wall towards ear height I get a surprisingly good surround sound. A lot of times while I'm currently watching the Stargate SG-1 series I keep hearing noise coming from the sides.

That's like the naming convention I use for our and our customers' hardware; two characters for function (sv=server, vm=virtual machine, rt=router, pr=printer, etc), four characters from the company name, a sequence number 00 to 99 linked to the company, and finally the sequence number 000 to 999.

Other names with functional description are made in DNS as they're only used within one company.

The only way to run out of names is either more than 99 companies with the same name or more than 999 servers within one company.

I don't think an attack on a port is the biggest worry. More profitable is fraud by switching or making cargo disappear. Think of a container full of electronics, weapons, people, etc..
A terrorist would rather move a lot of bombs through a loophole in logistics than blow it up with one.

Try Sandboxie.
I've had good success with running apps and games in a sandbox with it. The only thing it lacks (although it's better security wise) is being able to pipe files between the boxes so you'll have to install programs multiple times if it's needed in more than one box (think PDF reader, zip stuff, etc.).

And this is why I feel Diginotar should be red with shame.
Missing virusscanners on servers, easy passwords, unpatched software. There's no way in hell I'd let such negligence take place in a company responsible for such an important piece of security.
Why hasn't the CSO been frothing at his mouth with anger at this?
