Much as I'd rather write about soft porn and brittany giving lap dances, 
I thought I'd respond to the other part of this post ;-)

That's the best description of MSRPC I've seen.  You have a future 
career writing IETF drafts, I'm sure.

I think that's not entirely true.  I think IDS has a bad name because 
someone found the proper style knee-pads to use with Gartner to get them 
to declare it a problem, thus yet again inducing the GLE (Gartner 
Lemming Effect.)

I think IDS are like smoke detectors.  Everyone thinks they're lame and 
irrelevant because they do nothing but warn you that your other systems 
have failed.   Notice that with smoke detectors, when the house down the 
street burns down and kills a small child, there's a line out the door 
and around the corner at the local building supply shop to buy new smoke 
detectors.

Then again writing filters to filter on security tools is some sort of 
semi-narcissistic self-indulgent waste of time that I'm not thrilled any 
vendor would charge money to deliver.  Make the damn dog bark when the 
bad guys are around, not when the dog trainer is around.
