I think a conversation about Hannah Montana Linux could be quite entertaining.

Some instances are just geo-blocking the UK. Honestly, the world should just block the UK right now.

Where the fuck were you 2500 years ago? We could of had some kick-ass names and backstories for our night sky.

I don’t want to go so far as to tell you how to think, but as long as we are talking about how to visualize IP addresses, you may want to check out subnets and subnet masking.

The notation of IP addresses starts to make sense when you think about the early days of TCP/IP when all IP addresses were public and NAT’ing wasn’t really required yet. Basically, there needed to be ways for networks to filter traffic by IP blocks that were applicable. (It was [in part] a precursor to collision avoidance, but absolutely not the full story.) We still use addressing and masking today, but it’s more obvious when it’s local. (Like in data centers, where it’s super practical to mask off a block of addresses for a row or rack of servers.)

To your point, yeah. IP addresses are probably more comparable to the Dewey Decimal System rather than actual numbers and thinking of them as strings is probably easier.

255

Small correction, but an important one: 0 is a number too.

In terms of IP masking and broadcast addresses, the max is 255.255.255.255

For those who are still confused, ping works with 32 bit unsigned integers. While there certainly are more uses, it’s a much more convenient method for storing IP address in a database as it’s easier to sort and index than 4 numbers separated by 4 periods

No, you had it. It’s J, as is in “jiraffe”.

Gravity is not a constant and that would probably matter at the precision that needs to be measured in the given test environment. In any other situation, gravity (or the state of the earths magnetic field) would generally not matter enough to measure.

The precision of F=MA might even be debatable as an accurate formula at these scales… I dunno about that though.

And a also a full vacuum. Your test subject might not look so hot after that, but science!

Speculating, of course, I would say there wouldn’t be enough change to get a perceivable effect through other kinds of noise at the scale we are talking about. Yes, there would be an effect, but with all other environmental variables included, the results may appear completely random.

Then again, I suppose much of this boils down to the accuracy of the tools that you use to measure the results.

I don’t give a fuck about his character.

You are making assumptions about my intent or what I believe, which is a childish argument tactic.

Again, internet pictures with words are fucking dumb. You might get a ton of likes on Facebook with that shit though.

I didn’t suggest anything about his character, and we could probably have an entirely separate discussion about imperialism.

What is important is how you source information when it comes to dental prosthetics.

The history of Washingtons teeth is uncertain. The evidence that those were slave teeth seems to show that the teeth were purchased.

Internet pictures with words are fucking dumb.

OP is weird. He is just vomiting out old propaganda that has been debunked a hundred times over.

I never have. Just thinking about WiFi and Bluetooth drivers on random laptops still puts me into a full flashback state. (My first experience was back in 2002, I think?)

However, getting all of that stuff working was the best learning experience I ever had. At the time, I was just learning about IT security and WiFi pcap was all the rage back then.
