Ok, to have the doll learning things is nice, but with a WiFi hookup the "iron" does not have to go *IN * the doll, just have a (moderated) server in the cupboard do the major work and make the doll a drone-like terminal. Think Ants and Bees.
Now, since a 255 octect address can be represented in hexidecimal by 510 characters (assuming you don't have seperators), do you really think it would be practical to have an address that long?
With a 255 octet address you can have "IP" adresses like 'www.slashdot.org' and not fiddle with numbers at all...
Take a laptop and a pseudo-keyboard that fits on your hand like a glove (forgot the url, is out there somewhere) like the wear-able pc project does. Clip the display to your visor (glasses, spectacles, whatever) and recieve immediate feedback on your notes. That's the geek way!
My Apple II (also original) was stolen from me when a burglar 'visited' my place. It was right next to a 386-minitower and he left that {relieved sigh} so I did not lose all my work on it. Now I still have a *lot* of 5,25" diskettes with a lot of fun games on them. Do you have any idea how I could read them to my PII-300 running the A2 Emulator?
order a free one WRONG! It is true they do not charge you for the product but they do charge you for the S&H, and that does not constitute as free in my book.
I still ordered it to see if they would ship it overseas;-) not expecting it to happen but it would be fun if they did. I have my 300+ books already lined up for scanning...
I am living in the Netherlands (as in: that small country in Europe between Germany and the United Kingdom (a.k.a. Britain a.k.a. England)). I ordered the KutKat [play on words here] online and they do not state on their website and orderform that the product is not to go abroad.

Thank you for ordering the:CueCat Kit.!
Your free:CRQ software and:CueCat will arrive shortly.
You'll only be charged shipping and handling as indicated below.
Your:CueCat Kit also includes a free Convergence Cable so your TV
can talk to your computer, a $7.95 value, free, for ordering online.
Thanks again for becoming Digitally Converged. Your life online is about to change forever!
Quantity Ordered: 1
Shipping and Handling: $9.95 (Normal Shipping)
Now, as I ordered by way of creditcard I presume they will try to cash my order or at least confirm the validity of my creditcard, what should I do? Call the creditcard company to block their reciept {sp?} or what?
By the by; I still have not recieved the KutKat [word-joke again] and now do not expect it at all, or are they that simple-minded that the take the addition of "-The Netherlands" after the city fo granted and mail it anyway?
I'll submit updates as they become available and y'all be the secong to know (because I will be the first;-)
{thank/. for the preview-button} And that Digitally Converged thingy sounds like there is a bucketload of Bytes streaming through their Intestines and refusing to pASS the gate. My life online has been changed forever because I am now suffering from a/.-addiction;-) I wonder what other uses the KutKat has; hmmmm... let's call it an "Adult Toy"(TM) as I fear graphic descriptions are frowned upon here...
Let's say I'd like to use the Convergence Cable to string them up so the soles of their shoes can really be free from the dirt of the Earth. Gives a whole new meaning to "booting" does it not?
Greetings and Sympathy from a {still} Free country on the other continent.

Not bringing in enough money to put food on the table?!
You, sir, are a moron!
Yes, you've read it right, a Moron
FIRST you should have put a ton of banner-ads on your website and THEN blown your top over your personal misgivings.
Too stupid to think of even such a simple way to get ca$h to flow.
Heh!
Moron
so any water (salt, consumed, etc) could be used... Still you need to transport it...
Nah, just throw a hose over the side of the bridge.
With a 255 octet address you can have "IP" adresses like 'www.slashdot.org' and not fiddle with numbers at all...
Just a thought...
OK, IP adresses are just fina and dandy for routing etc.
BUT
Why does every NIC have a MAC number that is -AFAIK- Unique ?
Why, oh Why not USE what is there instead of inventing a new can of worms?
Demographic, Schmemographic...
A BIG ThankYou to the BBC for not interrupting a good show with smarmy commercials
"check all connections thoroughly after long and rougher-than-anticipated transport of vehicle."
The broken 2x4 was a dead giveaway!
or Galileo, by R.A.H. I think...
Linux for kids is really OK in my book.
... it is ok if your native language is english/american or hispanic I guess.
The problem is
How language-hungup are all the apps developed for kids? I know I could contribute to a project by providing a Dutch translation. Any other takers?
Actually it could work. In the USA they have public access tv, any Joe or Mary can have a timeslot...
OTOH it brings you something like "The Ozbornes"...
OTOH commercial tv is ruled by viewers-ratings...
I'll segfault now if you don't mind...
all your cpu-cycles and wu;s belong to us [G]
How about a new meaning of 'touch' ...
Just make sure you run your Windows-box behind a Linux-based Firewall.
heheheh
Smoothwall Rocks!
FINALLY! Stupidity DOES Hurt!
Get some legislators out there to prohibit it in public places
That is because *they* don't want you to...
I kinda remember it being called an area lager than 42 or something...
...once transparent concreate is perfected...
I'd vote for privacy-curtains around the Xerox in the office!
"sign me up first!"
HEY! get in at the END of the line!!
It was said on CNN that all insurances would be paid.
Limitations applying to this would be lifted.
