A novel method for catching script kiddies [via k-zed]

My latest bit of toy code is a perl script for converting "pixel art" bitmaps into eps's for use in print: bmp2eps

This would be the best site on the internet if it had a request form for you to fill out.

If you're in the uk and looking for sgi/sun parts then you'd be silly not to check out 13w3.

It's been around for ages, but Routergod still rules: Arnold Schwarzenegger on PIX Turbo Access Lists!

Especially if, once you filled out the form, the goods were delivered by Ninja's.

Every IP address?

I don't know whether to laugh or throw up. What a waste of bandwidth.

Maybe I'll just download that 1GB file with all the IP addresses so that I'll have everyone's IP number. (pfft) At 640kbps it should only take about 4 hours.

I can't believe 69 idiots actually downloaded it.

i knew there were a lot of IP addresses in the world - but over 4 billion?!?

wow.

:oB

(four billion, two hundred and ninety-four million, nine hundred and sixty-seven thousand, two hundred and ninety six, to be exact - i counted each line myself.)

of course, with IPv6 we get another 274,941,996,890,625 addresses

that should make for a fun file
