DISQUS

my dad wears that kind of ridiculous outfits too. of course, he clocks in between 3,500-4,000 miles a year...

Dude! My birthday is on Monday. Happy birthday to us both. May we both see many more years of working tirelessly for lousy pay and being under apprechated by our bosses and bosses's bosses.

I have a post I'm working on, btw. I think I've solved the email spam problem once and for all.

""Please comment on any problems, suggestions, naked pictures of our girlfriend, anything...""

'our' girlfriend? dude... who are you sharing her with? 'cus just for anyone else reading this I failed kindergarten because I never learned to share.

Man, it was crazy when Alavar Hanso walked out of the other's hatch and shot Jack. Then Kate was all like 'Nooooo!' and Hurley was like 'damn, dude. uncool'.

And then the monster came out of the ocean and started doing shadow puppets of bunnies and kittens.

I have to say, the gravatar thing is a pretty neat idea. I'm impressed that somehow it even got activated for my past comments too. I like this design, Mike. Text is a little too small still, though.

I'm diggin the new design. Very well done.

haha - that's kinda funny. same IP across the nation... I would say very improbable if he's using something like DSL or Cable. I would be possible for the phone company to have service in both areas and they *could* be using the same class-c's in both areas as well, but My God what a network management nightmare.

Now, if he had a satelite service (like Wildblue) it's possible that he took his dish antenna with him when he moved and therefore would have the same internet connection. Although even the satelite services are divvied up into geographic regions in regards to where they beam the signal to. NY and PA might be close enough to be in the same region.

He could be using Dialup and be paying his ISP a higher rate to be able to dial in and have the same static IP each and every time. But why a bad guy would do such a thing would be a little hard to explain within the time limits of a 44-minute long show.

As an side-side note, the dialup handshake is the ringtone on my brother's cell phone. I cringe every time I hear it. too many bad memories.

Speaking as a Wireless Interet Professional I can say with a fair amount of confidence that Numb3ers goofed in a way that rivals the black dude in 'Hackers' jizzing over the 28.8 baud laptop modem or any part with Ryan Phillippe in 'Antitrust'. But then again, it's Numb3rs. What do you expect? *

For an intersting side-note, I infact *have* come across routers that have both a standard ethernet WAN port and a telephone jack for dialup. It's been a while since I've seen it but I do want to say that it had linksys-style wireless antennas coming out of it. Can you imagine how horrible it must be to share a dialup connection?



* that was a cheap shot to piss off Mike. the show could be ok. I've never seen an episode because, well, you know, it's 'Numb3rs'.

That is fantastic! Man, one single GoogleAd would pay for that site a thousand times over.
