Anywho....enjoy the week off

Valid warning.
I've reported three different IPs myself to the FBI from China, trying to hack my home PC (all failed attempts).
The average person needs to have Peerblock installed with a nice selection of I-Blocklist IP lists to refuse. It will save you a TON of hassle down the road and is the ultimate screening tool to prevent contact with the shadier elements of the internet.
