This is for REMOTE servers..... not systems in your house/apartment. Read the list again with that in mind. This has nothing to do with building a server at your house and setting up a router or an NAS storage device.

Agreed, if you have no clue what to do with a remote computer... shut it down, you will lose a bragging right but maybe it will prevent you from too much beeing a tool... that need it's home server (but someone to tell him what to do with)... and a dremel to use a computer (because without side windows, your dell is well... still a computer... but you saw on digg that computer must be modded to death so you are a good sheep and mod without common sense or good taste whatsoever)...

Very useful for free web at airports, etc - any place that charges you for web. Most of those places will resolve dns, but won't allow you to pass traffic. There's the hint.
