@scottalanmiller That's pretty wild. I once got in a fist fight with him in a men's room.

I'm lying I never met him.

Classes? CIDR is the only way to fly... or route I guess.

That's why I posted... CIDR has been the norm for the past few years as far as I can tell... Classes never really mattered anyway... Did they?

Sort of, but most often they were used as a means to explain address use for subnetting rather than being used as a literal standard in their own right.

I should clarify: these days if someone uses octet it means one of two things, either they're old as hell or deal with old as hell technology and/or companies, or they're young and completely ignorant and heard some old person say it. I never used it unless we're explicitly using base-8, which decimal IP addresses absolutely are not, if they were they highest you could go is 0255 or decimal 173.

Stupid thought along the lines of the copper door knobs....

How come there aren't any bronze or copper toilet seats if they are this effective at killing germs...

You could easily design a heating system for them...

Maybe I should start a business / patient...

Just don't make them from cooper... since it's one of the most stolen items (wire, plumbing) in the area...

Hrm, aluminium maybe? Still kinda valuable.

Maybe gold, they're so valuable nobody would steal them.

I'm just following the same logic as "the password is so easy nobody could guess it."

NodeBB 1.1 has just dropped.

I bet that smells pretty bad

It's copper and silver that kill the bacteria. Other metals might actually encourage it.

Iron certainly does encourage it, especially as it oxidises. Don't forget to get your tetanus shot.

I don't think copper / silver would require you to need a tetanus shot would it? It doesn't rust, promotes the death of germs etc.

I get one regularly to ensure I have no issues, but still.

No

@DustinB3403 Does it have to be git or can I use cvs?

Good morning everyone from just up the street from NTG World Headquarters.

Gonna TP the joint? Maybe some soap on the windows?

Just finished a successful test of our fancy new video conferencing equipment. Used webex to connect to our new office in Hyderabad, India with basically no latency. Color me impressed.

It's offensive to talk about colour!

But he's only talking about colouring himself... Wait... What color are you going to use @RojoLoco ?

I was gonna check the crayon box for one called "impressed"...

Well, I colour myself in black all the time because of how unimpressed I am with everything. You wouldn't believe how many people assaulted me on the subway when I lived in New York.

Looks like a coup.

That would be great, seriously, I'd love that. This isn't news either, I mean in the sense of anything new. Been following this a long time:

My younger brother lives in Istanbul, so I'm always interested in how this garbage dump is going.

Holy cow this is epic... Police HQ is under military command, Ataturk is surrounded by tanks, military has announced it has full control of the country...

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-36809083

That was quick.

This is like record fast. Possible total overthrow in like... 30 minutes?

It has to be fast, they have to seize control over all major government buildings in order to maintain control and have any attempt at appearing to be the new proper authorities. I'm sure this was planned ahead for a while.

This after the whole French thing, my younger brother lives in Istanbul, can't get a hold of him. Why can't my family members answer their phones?

Twitter feed is talking about military shooting somebody running at the with the "Allahu Akbar" chant.

That could be someone from any side.

@thwr said in Non-IT News Thread:

@thwr Just got word from him, he's ok but the situation is very vague. No one knows what is going on. He said something about an incomplete action and no one knows whether they should support it or better take cover...

Good to know my brother is correct and not just bad at figuring out what's happening, it certainly is too vague right now.

TV and Radio back on air but it's under military control and has set a curfew.

OK the conflicting reports seem to be because the military is re-opening the airports to allow people to leave, and that's being reported as the military "backing down." They haven't backed down from anything else (yet).
