How Interesting is Your IP Address?
SKicker writes "This site gives your IP a score based on how interesting it is. Its silly and pointless but fun." Thank god my IP is a full house. Wonder which one of you has the royal flush and prime number IP!
Can somebody post a mirror?
Damn thing ain't working!
My IP got a 1! Damn them! Damn those bastards! Do you know how long it's going to take to change my IPs and reconfigure the VPN?
Well yeah from 8-72 hours... but still.

Anybody could be doing that - everybody on the net knows your IP, right?
"There is nothing remarkable about your IP address."
Much like the hundreds of bottle caps tell me; I am not a winner.

Your IP address can turn servers into slag.
Nothing remarkable? I'm crushed. I thought my IP address was unique :'(
Mine is pretty cool!
it's got a one, two zeros, and a year number that according to wikipedia nothing ever happened in... i.e peaceful, the way I like it!
"Hi honey. As you no doubt has noticed, there's nothing remarkable about me, but hey - you should check out my IP!"
72.3.211.135: Your IP is super special. You are not only the location of www.ipspotting.com BUT you are also being slashdotted.
Proof by very large bribes. QED.

they had a web server with +5 against ping damage.
It gave me this message: "come out of Comcast's dynamic IP you coward!"
CHLOE: "Jack tell me your IP address so I can upload this decryption program."

JACK BAUER: "OK, it's 292, dot, 162, dot, 12, dot, 2."
CHLOE: "Thanks!"
I guess in the future world of 24 we're on IPv8.
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
Of course, because IPs of Slashdotters are probably much more vulnerable than those of random web users.
The global economy is a great thing until you feel it locally.
I tried browsing using an IPv6 connection.
Got a message saying that "we've been slashdotted"...
Shouldn't that be slashcoloned?

Thank god my IP is a full house
Chuck Norris' IP address is a round house....

There's no 16 billion junk IPs, simply because there's no 16 billion IPs, at least not as long as you limit yourself to IPv4 (which I assume we do). About one quarter of that address space is reserved, anyway, and then there's a few subnets (10.0.0.0/8, 127.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16, at least) which are also not for public use, so that leaves you with less than three billion IP addresses. Still a lot of junk in there, of course, but I'd say "try to attack the boxes attached to random IPs" still won't just work, but will in fact work better than trying phish for "valid" IP addresses. (With "work better" as in "require less effort and yield results faster".)

Now that would be a million dollar web page!
Every time you connect to the Internet, send email or access a web site, you are broadcasting this unique address. With this address, someone can immediately begin attacking your computer. Aware of this, reputable software manufacturers such as Microsoft have taken steps to mitigate this issue by making it more difficult to access the internet. However there are still many sites which use deceptive techniques such as "rewards" of "interesting information" to persuade innocent surfers to reveal their IP address and thus open themselves up to "hacking" attacks.
As a responsible Slashdotter I'd therefore like to proposed a new community-based "vigilante scheme" to tackle such sites. If everyone who is confident their IP address is invulnerable to hacks accesses this kind of site all at once, we can put them out of action and thus protect innocent web surfers with weaker or lower-quality IP addresses. We could call this action "Slashdotting".
"Your IP address has scored: -2. This is ranked #7166 of the 7166 IP's spotted so far."
My life in a nutshell, really..
It's The Golden Rule: "He who has the gold makes the rules."
I punched in the current IP address of my server... and...
Your IP address has scored: -1. This is ranked #64524 of the 64534 IP's spotted so far.
That hurt =/
