How safe is port forwarding in general? If the application is exploitable and runs in the context of a high-access user, possibly. However, this level of exploit is relatively rare and is usually patched quickly. In this context, you wouldn't normally run D2 as an administrator, which reduces the potential attack surface. |

How safe is port forwarding in general? I would add - forwarding a port to an internal computer doesn't expose a "folder" (as one of the other answers/comments suggested) but exposes whatever process is configured to listen on that port. If that process is properly configured and implemented, it shouldn't expose anything beyond its own public "interface" (services, etc.) but it is possible that specific applications are vulnerable to attack vectors such as buffer overruns. A vulnerable application may be exploited to provide access to far more than its own folder - anything within the security context of the user it runs as. |

Questions answers As others have noted, each Stack Exchange site is oriented around a specific scope. If you're looking for something more general, sites like Reddit may be of interest too. Though even there, you're strongly advised to find the appropriate subreddit for a particular question. |

How to schedule a task to be run in the morning but only once a day? To clarify, you need one to run on startup and the other to run 30 minutes later, regardless of when startup occurs? (I.e. if you rebooted at some point during the day, you'd need the same thing to happen?) |

What does it mean if a “Unknown Device Installed” message appears? You could try looking in Device Manager (Control Panel, or right-click on "Computer" and hit "Manage"). |

How can I improve my typing speed? @glenneroo - you realize this question and most of the answers are over 2 years old? That said, the free, online version of this game is now available at Yahoo. |

Suggestions on keeping laptop cool +1 I love love love Notebook Hardware Control. I use it on a Toshiba tablet PC that's in a tablet case, which means that it has a harder time cooling. I also have it set to alert me when the temperature reaches certain ranges. |

Computer resets when put under load 300W is pretty low for a modern PC, particularly if the PSU is having other problems. |
