Upstreams will grandfather you if you're ancient- we have 8/24s that all get announced. Granted, we're working on renumbering but that's a lot of people to call- a multi year backburner project. New allocations, however, won't be announced unless they're a/20 or bigger... (thats 4,096 IP addresses in a row)
I don't feel like I need to applaud then for something they have every obligation to do. I don't care how ungrateful they think I am. I still think they suck and they're still obligated to bend over backwards to protect my privacy as a customer. Am I supposed to applaud everyone who doesnt stab me in the back?
Here's my question- they're saying the foam hit the shuttle at a few hundred miles per hour- but they were both traveling at the same speed when it came off- surely it couldnt have decelerated that quickly could it? Both unlearned nerd here and his dad on IM would like someone who knows math to give their opinion on that one, cause to us laymen, it don't add up.
So this old guy at work who served in Germany in the 60's said that beer is supposed to be warm, and that us puny US american types are the only people who drink it icy cold. I must admit, the beer I've had has been icy cold, and it was pretty good. Am I missing out? Is it warm better?
Ok, I've seen enough of these that I think we officially need a -1, spammer moderation. That "check yer sex" guy was the worst cause the link text was always different, but this sort of thing belongs in a sig alone. Leading useful information into self-promo information is abusive and ruins the experience of reading a flow of converstation. Keeping it in your sig isnt too much to ask; those of us with sig dashes mentally divide it into another subject and don't take offence when you use what the sig was meant for. And eventually more will start doing it because it works well, and that's why we need another moderation type.
I feel very sorry for the adult whose job it is to explain to a Columbia astronaut's child that they might have had a chance. Heck, I don't know if there's a way to even do that safely. Then again, I'm not warped enough to verify that such children exist, but if they do... I already feel like crap knowing that converstation is waiting to happen.

That's a great trick- I have this one where I put money into a newspaper stand, and then I take a pebble and jam the latch so it won't lock again. It's really swell, cause it lets whomever wants a newspaper have one for free, and it doesnt cost anyone anything!
Where I work, everyone has a P150. You can almost always just barely see the solitare window minimizing. And I thought we were just too poor for PIIs...blast, is our boss smarter than us? Oh wait, just got an internal email about my drawer being too full? whats that supposed to mean?
"Second Internet" - Man, how cool would that be...
There already is a second internet, running inside the first one. You can cover an awful lot of ground with network 10 as long as you're organized. Course, only if we dropped a half a billion dollars on converting our vpn links to hard lines, then people would really acknowlege it as a second internet. Course, there's multiple second internets. Like... many. Ah yes, implementing your own version of arin in your blog... bless that openvpn author.
I gave the first window at Wendy's a 10 dollar bill a few weeks ago, and they gave me back change for a 20. So I told the lady at the second window what she did while giving her a 10 dollar bill, and the lady put the 10 in her pocket and called me "retarded" right before shutting the window. I'm thinking that's ironic somehow.
oh wait, uhbuh. well heck, how's about someone with an 11th grade math education fix that giant error. hey better idea, just click the @#$% links and dont do any math at all. that's really a better idea. hey, the basic point is that everyone reading this site with a computer is an evil lead polluter. unless you recycle, of course.
Florida Environmental Report states about Computers and Monitors:
"Out of 175 million computers comes a laundry list of toxins including 650 million pounds of lead, 987,000 pounds of cadmium and 231,000 pounds of mercury.
Each CRT (Cathode-Ray Tube) contains four to six pounds of lead. (New York Times, November 23, 2000)
According to University of Florida tests, color monitors contain enough lead to contaminate ground water if deposited in landfills. "Those monitors would fail the legal standards of leaching lead," said Susan Mooney of the EPA, Region 5 (Chicago).
These computers also contain 2 billion pounds of plastic. "
so thats like 1/4 pound of lead per PC on top of the 4 to 6 per monitor. so thats a lot of lead.

"Americans use 85,000,000 tons of paper a year; about 680 pounds per person."
so lets say you throw your computer out every three years. thats about 18 pounds of lead versus 2000 pounds of paper over three years. imagine throwing your honda civic, made of paper, into the ground. then cover it with something like 1/5 a gallon of molten lead (crappy math, hey i think its within an order of magnitude).
which do you feel worse about? the honda civic sized paper ball or the fifth of lead?

Isn't being connected to the Internet all the time sort of... creepy?
My cellphone's always talking to a tower at some basic level... never creeps me out. Course I always turn my phone off when I get on an Interstate, and then I pull out the calculator and figure out how long I have to wait before turning it back on before they can't say I was speeding. Ironic that my cell has a calculator in it that I can't use cause I need the phone to be off. Oh well, my knees grip the wheel close enough, and the dash board of my Canyonero gives me all the workspace I need should I have to break out the pen and paper.
My laptop, folded up, would be talking to this network less than my cell phone, I bet. And FYI, corporate execs have no idea how the World Wide Web works, so to imply that they need to get away from it is broken logic.
i bought an ibook with airport card sunday and live in nh... and now i just read this. since january 2004 is coming right up, i need to start getting ready. whats the most popular open source 802.11b sniffer for osx available right now? i just grabbed the development tools, but hopefully it won't take 7 months to figure out that end.

figure our how to suck out the radioactivity of radioactive wastes.
Cause then whoever does that is just going to take all the lead they end up with and dump it in a pond somewhere!
18 pounds of lead

When all the good guys are selling evil, I'll just start importing my goodness from the bad guys. Shipping over the Pacific is cheap.
