QUESTION:
Is there a way to completely fool (or block) OS detection from scanners (like nmap, queso, 
etc.) using the Linux OS? What about Windoze?

Under linux try iplog ( http://ojnk.sourceforge.net/ ) with -z as
option. I've been using it for a while, and it works like a charm. Under
windows, i have absolutely no idea.
