      My new business plan. 1) Post some stupid application everyday that does nothing productive or useful. 2) Try to get it posted to slashdot. 3) Make sure it crashes under any type of heavy use. 4) Put google ads on the page. 5) Sit back, play some Call of Duty, and laugh about how I use to have to work for a living.

    There is nothing remarkable about your IP address.

    Well, *I* could have told you that.

    But seriously, don't you think that this site might potentially be trolling for vulnerable systems?

      Anybody could be doing that - everybody on the net knows your IP, right?

    This site includes an IP counter. I'm guessing 20,000 IPs in the first hour (or the server crashes...)

    14:10GMT - 1951 IP's

    14:27GMT - Sorry non-subscribers. We broke it before you got here....

      Not quite. I'm a non-subscriber, and I managed to get one hit in (awww, a 7!) before it proclaimed they'd been "dugg/slashdotted."

      And what's this? An ad (for "DocMonster") that wasn't there before. Advertising opportunity? Interesting.

    On the bitmap, and IP address is 4bytes, or 32bits. On a black and white bitmap you can map each 1 to a white, 0 to a black and add a fixxed width and bingo your bitmap.
    The poker could be done in a pretty much the same way just convert it to a diffent base, and look at what digits you get.

  12. "Your computer is broadcasting your IP address" by adnonsense · · Score: 5, Funny

    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".
