shredderchallenge seems to be Slashdotted, so apologies if this is a dup.

During the Iran Hostage Crisis teams of carpet weavers were recruited to piece together shredded documents. They were then published in 1982 in 54 volumes under the title "Documents From the U.S. Espionage Den".

Why bother making people type another 8 characters when News International already own sunday.co.uk, which currently redirects to
the News of the World anyway.

Comment: Modem only and PPPoE (Score 1) 174

by alanw (#35387642) Attached to: Most IPv6-certified Home Network Gear Buggy

I've just had a couple of days off work with a nasty virus, and even with my head full of cotton wool I had a play with setting my Netgear DG834 into "Modem only" mode (via the hidden page http://192.168.0.1/mode.htm) and running RP-PPPoE on my linux server. I managed to get it up running IPv4 pretty quickly. Now all I need to do is wait for my ISP to start supporting IPv6. Unlike Andrews and Arnold who have been running IPv6 for ages, they don't think it will be a concern for some considerable time. Don't they understand that some of us want to start seeing if things work and gaining experience right now?

At work, the authority of a person is inversely proportional to the number of pens that person is carrying.
