The only thing that ticks me off more than seeing a 4WD being used just for city driving, is a 4WD being used for city driving, with dirty injectors or the like, puffing out nice thick black smoke, every time it starts / changes gears.
It just ticks me off being behind these cars.
On a side note, I’ve started riding to work for several reasons, first being fitness, the second is saving the environment, and finally it’s saving me fuel money (which has never really hurt me badly as I run a little 4 cylinder hatch, and usually only drive to work – and now with fuel prices under a dollar). It’s mainly to get fit, since some days just involve me sitting on a computer all day.
Have a very merry Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate).
It is true, IP addresses are slowly running out, and considering nearly all house homes are using NAT, we really need IPv6, but the fact of the matter is, we don’t need to rush such an important change. There are plenty of unused IP address, and some silly blocks that should be re sold off.
For example, Ford owns the 19.x.x.x range, and when I nmapped that subnet, I did not find one host that was connected, silly isn’t it. I’d like to see some of the larger subnets that aren’t being used sold off to make room for cheaper services.
