Any utility in limiting access of a web app to a country?
-
Web application has no use outside of US. I'm thinking of getting a firewall rule in place to restrict it to just US access. Couldn't hurt to reduce attack surface I'm thinking, and it doesn't cost me anything [assumption]. Any utility in doing this?

:confused: what?
It's a joke mate. (I hate explaining them, almost as much as I hate seeing someone miss-out on a funny one) The inference is that Chris monitors all posts as they are made, NSA style. The posts were deliberately cut-off mid sentence as a way of saying "see, look - Chris even censored this post, he _must_ have the ability to monitor posts in real-time" :-D

Of course I could understand the pun intended, but deliberately wanted to create a joke!
Okaaay. Actually, there's no pun there.

Pun: A joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings
Protip: The confused icon, followed by "what?" just looks like you don't get it. ;P The miss-use of the word pun doesn't exactly help, either.

Okkkk... A thing to note, I've spend 4 years (8th to 12th grade) reading and examining English literature (unwillingly, as it was part of compulsory subjects). There were something around 30+ literary devices, there is something exactly defining this but... :doh: I only remember the words : "similes, metaphor, alliteration, irony, and pun"

Nice. You beat me there - I only studied english lit for a year in 10th grade. I could more-or-less guarantee your english is better than my indian or german. Though, 35 years of speaking it can only help, I suppose. Anyhow, hope I didn't ruin the joke for you - I only wanted to let you in too. :beer:

I was enrolled in an English medium school. So literature was there since beginning but systematic studies and analysis started only at 8th.

There is no language called Indian... ;P There are hundreds of Indian languages (28 recognized by constitution, including English). So which one?

Nope,... cheers! :beer: (though I don't consume any kind of hydrocarbon hydroxide)

I did wonder if that was going to bite me on the ass (yet still I was too lazy to research for 15seconds. :-O ) Great! Yeah, not a drinker myself. It just seemed like a better conciliatory icon than :jig: or :java: or :rose: Damn! 28 official languages... We've only got one here, yet still we all seem to abuse it - poorly. :doh: I'm off - any more of this conversation and the suggestions that we "get a room" will likely abound. :laugh:
