How many times did you scan your self from your friend’s house?
are you familiar with false positives?
The os detection is working because your box is still answering to
ICMP, FIN, ACK.
Nmap runs a serious tests to figure out guess what OS is running.
Nmap –sT –vvv –O –p 1-1024 destination-ip

Just an example::
T1(Resp=Y%DF=Y%W=FFFF%ACK=S++%Flags=AS%Ops=MNWNNT)
T2(Resp=N)
T3(Resp=Y%DF=Y%W=FFFF%ACK=S++%Flags=AS%Ops=MNWNNT)

5190 you are correct sir is for the aol instant messenger service
on their servers.

Hope this helps.
