Well, many home routers use 127.0.0.1 as the Info/Config page. I think mine uses 127.0.0.2, but still...
I hate to be negative, I really do. However, this post merely illustrates that you have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.
Unless your router has a monitor and keyboard attached to it, it is impossible for any machine to talk to any other machine using any address that starts with 127. These are "localhost" addresses that always, always equate to the same machine the request originates from. In other words, your workstation.
I'm pretty sure your router actually uses something more like 192.168.0.2. Linksys routers will default to 192.168.1.1, for instance.
Let X = the number of people saved by use of a knife
Let Y = the number of people injured or killed by a knife
Do you really think that X is higher than Y? I'll bet Y is two orders of magnitude higher than X, at least.
Um. You ever hear of a thing called a scalpel? It's a knife. A very sharp knife. And it's used in pretty much every life-saving medical procedure short of the Heimlich maneuver.
Oh god, what was the show - Eerie, Indiana, sort of a Twilight Zone/Haven thing. Actually was very similar to Haven, but predated it by 19 years. The pilot episode, "Foreverware", had people sleeping in non-trademark-infringing resealable plastic containers and living forever. Well, longer, at any rate.
The only problem with Pepsi Throwback is the name. Too close to "Pepsi Backwash". I tried it (instead of my now-normal diet), and it tasted too sugary. That's one of the big problems with "healthier" sodas - they apparently think "Hey, since they're used to HFCS, we need to put more $SWEETENER in than we used to". Meh. It's about time for me to get off sodas altogether, I think, and start filling the bottles with water. I used to refill them with home-made sweet iced tea - cheap, sweet but not overly so. Unfortunately, it's a pain in the ass. Takes most of an evening to fill up a couple dozen bottles. Negates the instant satisfaction of a soda. Damn, I wish somebody would come out with a pre-bottled sweet tea that wasn't so badly overdone (or lemon-flavored, bleh).
In one of his later works, "The Cat who Walks through Walls", one of the characters had a car that had recorded sound effects to make it sound "authentic", to match the appearance of a 20th century auto, even though it was a "futuristic" silent car. I've been waiting for this very thing since I heard (if that's the correct word) my friend's first Prius pull into my driveway for a party.
Dismissing for the moment the criticism of the platform itself, SecondLife has the micropayment system down - each L$ is worth about $0.003, or on average L$264/US$1. That's been more or less the same value for 5 or more years, and millions of US$ worth of L$ purchases happen every month in-game. Granted, most purchases are of the L$100-and-up variety, but the option is there for true micropayments. L$1 price tags are often added to "free" items just to keep them from being an all-you-can-grab - it's amazing the lengths some SL users will go to avoid spending one third of a cent.
OK, seriously. Why do people post things like this? I'm actually curious. It can't be "for the lulz", 'cause nobody's laughing - they're all thinking "god what an idiot this guy is". What possible purpose could you have for doing this? It's not even like you're getting some kind of notoriety out of it, 'cause you're posting as AC. I honestly can't think of any reason so much of this kind of pap gets posted here, or on any open forum. It baffles me.

I saw that graph and immediately went into untangle mode - unfortunately, nothing seemed to move.

Irony... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
These nails taste irony.
The question wasn't about pressing records, it was about building the presses themselves.

This is exactly what came to mind when I saw the headline.
I happen to be the first person (that I know of) to make a joke about 9/11. (bracing for the karma hit)
I was discussing the site with a co-worker about 3 days after the event, and he remarked "I wonder what they will do with the site once it's cleared."
Before I could staple my lips shut, I said "Turn it into an Airport?"

I want to work at the company that would allow this as "Safe for work". Good grief.
I'm sorry, but I would *not* build a nuclear reactor designed by someone who cannot spell.
Please look up. Or just click here. All of your concerns are answered... well, except the NIMBY problem, but honestly, that can be solved by good PR.
Nuclear powered cars and trucks (and aircraft) are not gonna happen.
Yeah, 'cause battery-powered cars that are charged by the power grid are really never gonna happen.
Oh.. wait, that's right, you can buy them now, and companies are working on more.

"But this one goes to 11!"
Well, obviously any cat that goes to 11 is special in my book.

I'll stick with my Thicknet, thank you very much. Transceivers and vampire taps FTW!
