NAT tends to do a really good job here too. I think most cable modems at 
least are, by now, NATted.

Sadly, there are so many programs that connect out without telling the 
user they'll be doing so, it's another case of yes/no overload, methinks.

  Ever notice how people in a zombie movie never already know how to
  kill zombies? Ask 100 random people in America how to kill someone
  who has reanimated from the dead in a secret viral weapons lab,
  and how many do you think already know you need a head-shot?
