  1. Re:Why are packets from reserved addrs geting thru on The Slashdot DDoS: What Happened? · · Score: 2

    that's not true. for example, if you traceroute an erols dialup, you'll see the 10. for the ppp server, and no that doesn't break the rfc. iirc, the rule is you can route from 10., etc but not from (eg, icmp from a 10. is ok, but if you try to telnet to a 10. it shouldn't go past your local border).

    Nope, these 10.0.0.0/8 address you see in the traceroute are badly configured machines. For example, it breaks MTU path discovery very often...

    Gravity is not a theory. Gravity is real. There are some
    theories that explain why there is gravity, but gravity in itself isn't just a theory, it's a force...

    The theory that says that gravity is proportional to the square of distance (or something like that, i'm into ephistemology, not physics) is a theory, gravity isn't.

  4. Re:Other platforms .... on The Unofficial Guide to Lego Mindstorms Robots · · Score: 2

    I'd love to buy Mindstrorms for my kids (OK for me too .... but you see I'd have to 'buy it for the kids') but the big problem seems to be platforms - we're a Mac/Unix house, Windows was banished as neither kid or adult friendly
    I believe you can run the robolab software in MacOS (robolab is the version of the mindstorm soft for schools) And if you can do C, legOS is the way to go...

  5. Re:Mutt on Mutt Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Anyway, how would a text-only program do mouse support? Try to support gpm, xterm, etc.?

    I believe libgpm is enough to support both gpm and xterm...

  7. Re:What if I switch Ethernet cards? on Where's All The Outrage About The IPv6 Privacy? · · Score: 1

    If I switch Ethernet cards, does this mess up my IP address to the world? And have to wait for all the DNSs to get the new address? br If your address is in a DNS you'll be probably using a fixed address, not an autogenerated one, so your MAC won't be there...

  8. Re:Huh? on Where's All The Outrage About The IPv6 Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Last I checked, the MAC address was only going to be used to generate a link-local
    address. That particular kind of address is not routed across the internet.


    Nope. If you have a router using radv your ip
    will be based on the prefix the router advertizes
    and your MAC address.

  9. Re:Why hasn't this been a big deal? on Where's All The Outrage About The IPv6 Privacy? · · Score: 1

    I, for one, don't see how such information is going to help route packets that much. Other
    than allowing EVERY ETHERNIC ON EARTH TO BE ON THE SAME SUBNET. Do we really need this?


    It doesn't help routing. It helps autoconfiguration
    (prevents ip colissions)

  10. Re:Different possibilities.... on Where's All The Outrage About The IPv6 Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Year, and your gateway just stops working - it has to know your MAC in advance (did sysadmin ever ask you about it when hooking your to the network?)
    Nope, the EUI-64 part of the address isn't used for routing, but for autoconfiguration.
