The above is my answer as well. Let's face it, you're going to get
hacked (cracked for the clueless pedantic). That's a reality: There is
someone on the planet better than you
and he will one day take a liking to your machine. The best we can do is
make him work his ass off for it.
Incidintally that gets rid of the script kiddies too. When a machine
under my control is hacked (as I know one day it will be), I want it to be
by a world-class genius hacker. A script kiddie flooding Undernet off my
box would be embarrassing.
