Classful adressing died at least ten years ago. Please don't bring it back. 192.168.0.0/16 is a perfectly valid network, and 192.168.4.255 is a perfectly valid IP address. Windows XP won't work with it, but that is just another reason why Windows should not be allowed to connect to IP networks.
I didn't say otherwise. In fact, I support your point. Based on the sole address 192.168.4.255, we can only say it's a valid IP address without further knowledge of its netmask. I never said to bring back classes, just that we can use them to define a first valid netmask during validation.
And I don't know about XP. Will it really choke with a valid netmask and a.255 address? Never tried to, TBH.
Close but no cake (I hate smoking). 0.0.0.0 will always be the base network address for whatever netmask you chose, so 0.0.0.0/X will always be the network (collection of address) 0.0.0.0. It is invalid to give yourself that address (although 0.0.0.1 would be valid) and no router in the world will route your traffic. Same is true for all network address (X.Y.0.0/16 for example).
They might have the "last time logged in" column in their db. Dunno why they don't take out those who haven't logged in x (say 5) years and give people (say me) those accounts. I was reading slashdot back then, damnit. Was just too lazy to create an account...
You can use the global rules for netmask. 1-127 is 0xFF000000, 128-192 is 0xFFFF0000, etc. Then, you cannot take into account the netmask used inside those ranges, since netadmins can do almost whatever they want with those.
Anyway, no regex however long they are will check every possibility... so better use a script along that.
So if I get this right, 0.0.0.0 is a valid ip address? I know the real regex would take a full post, but yes, it is possible to check with a single regex is it is valid, if it makes sense (127.0.0.1, 10.*, 169.254.*, etc etc) and if it's not a broadcast or a network address (not taking netmask into account).
I think I saw somewhere that romanian has a strict grammar rule around using A or E as the last letter for feminine names, and anything else for male ones.
Kernel only or included soft included? Because if you count included soft, it doesn't make it a fair comparison. And note that the whole graphic subsystem is included in there also, so add X11 to the lot... but whatever, comparing the number of lines of code is akin to comparing the number of bolts in a car.
it's interesting information nonetheless. Divide the number of bugs by the number of LoC and you get a better-than-industry ratio in both cases. Which says a lot.

I do as well. And *both* of us can't be nobody.
you both ain't somebody either.

Facebook is to slashdot what Turing Tests are to Skynet.

Indeed. If the /. community were to upload a PDF of this story to his website en masse, it would get some attention.
Yeah, Bayesian spam filters tend to get their attention on massive copy-paste emails pretty quickly....
Q: How do you call a black guy who plays golf at 3 am in his underwear?
A: A golfer!
Now if you get the humor in my joke, you might want to revise the humor in yours. You got it backward, dummy.
If you want to do it fast, dd will always be more performant. Depends on the size of sda1 :P
Well, your attitude won't change for sure. *zing*
Mel Gibson is a GUY???? Damn... after watching 'What Women Wants" I soooo wasn't sure...
Kim and Alex are the ones that come to my mind right away.
Nah we're fine with our low taxes high tyranny rates here in USA.

There are countries that follow their constitution, but I don't think there is one that follow US' constitution. At least, none that I've heard of.

The last time I had "a wet stain on my pants and said in a low tone..."I must have this"" is the first time my wife kissed me.
And then you married her...
8. Just saying "I'm hipper" with confidence. Man that should be hard enough.
Or Word macros. Not VBA or .Net, macros. I'd pay to see that.
Using canvas tag, kinda cheating, isn't it?
I heard Androids could cure cancer.
Go ahead, tell me how well universal free health care worked in Hawaii ...
You go and tell me how it went in Cuba (seriously).
I said Marxist was not implementable. You told the rest of the world why. Utopia doesn't make it any less ideal.
