That's what null routes are for. or proxy/firewall rules.

You forgot about IPv6 rendering that IP address meaningless.

Did Amazon print-on-demand 1984? If so, did they send UPS/FedEX to your house to pick it up?

I agree. I used to work at a facility that had more than a dozen of the zebra printers, of various models, all connected via ethernet to a Unix spooler.
They would print 1 label at a time up to a couple of rolls depending on the application.

I have not played WoW, the closest I have come was watching a friend play some MUD back in '90 or so.

But, if a therapist identified themselves to a player, what's to stop the player from attacking the therapist???? Do therapists have 'more hit-points than Godzilla'?

Did you forget Kernigan?

The last time I did that, I was following a old chevy pickup, 50mph uphill, and 65mph downhill, over and over again. When I worked out what he was doing, i dropped back, and when he crested the hill, i was about 5 car-lengths behind him doing 75.... over the crest of the hill, no oncoming traffic, ZIP. halfway around him, a state trooper came over the hill in front of me..... I had already pulled off the road at the bottom of the hill by the time he reached me, turning on his lights and u-turning behind me.
I got out of the 20-over ticket and just got a warning after I told him what I had done. Of course, pulling off and sitting on the trunk with my license/registration ready probably didn't hurt either.

Not on GA-400 in Atlanta. The right-shoulder is specifically reserved for MARTA (transit) busses.

I dont have a 72 Pinto, but i have a very beat-up 94 mustang, and it's better if someone doesn't have to break out the windows to find that there is nothing of value (unless you count tacobell wrappers from the '90's) inside.

Excuse me, but BOFH ***IS*** a proper IT manager, anyone else is just a waste of salary.

i guess you dont keep your OS up-to-date do you? Or would you find it acceptable that it takes 5 hours for WindowsUpdate (or PackageManager) to download this week's vendor patches? If I know that this week's patch updates are going to be large, I drive into the office where I have access to a 10Mbit/sec Internet connection. If the number/size of patches is small, I'll download them via my 3G wireless card.

On another note, what's the difference between my downloading parts 1-6 of CentOS5.3 from 6 different sites concurrently, and downloading the Torrent??? I'm still going to be limited to 10Mbit/sec download. I also check the hop-count between my current peering gateway (my provider has several peering sites) and the sites from which I download the 6 parts.

Would it be better for me to use wget and download the six files one after the other from the single closest repository, or simultaneously get 1 each from 6 different sources?

stine

Awww, you had to go and explain where taxes go.....

my harpercollins paperback of Making Money by Terry Pratchett (buy his books) has an ad for Thud! and Going Postal on the inside front cover, a chapter of Nation at the back, and four pages of ads at the back. The book was still $8US.
