    I can't imagine how I could be possibly laid any more, you see, there's this girl you might have heard of...first name Mary, lastname Jane. She has cushion for the pushin' like you wouldn't believe. And don't even get me started on her DSLs, especially when she does it laying on her back...mmm...hell yeah.....(I added some extra periods because you forgot yours, your girlfriend probably did too.)

    Slashdot's IP is 832.796.835.918 . Since it hasn't changed from this in the time that I've had the link to it in my sig ( about a month. ), we can safely conclude that IPs don't change because slashdot is a good cross-section of the internet, and poor logic like this is frequently rewarded wit' da K-! PointZz. ;)

    Don't go down the dark path of DJB's nameserver. He has a well-established reputation for making his products non-compliant with internet standards. Plus, djbdns won't scale well for heavy use. I tried it.
