IPV4 or IPV6?Everyone is just an IP address to me
Those are transient numbers with actually few indicators of origin.
I prefer MAC addresses as identifiers.
V4. Once a packet leaves my network I don't care who does what it. I have a whole subnet of outside ipv4 addresses (.1 to .254) so I am lucky to escape the hoopla of v6. Inside, any IP address I want but I stick to class B protocol, since there are zillions.
I don't need no stinkin' number.
Ooo, Ooo, can I have his and mine both? It'll be kinda like stereo...

You guys will take your assigned numbers...and you will like them
Oh, and I suppose you're going insist that they be expressed only in base 10 too, huh? Some people are so narrow minded.

Well...this is gonna be a ride: after getting nagged by everyone involved in the medical profession in this part of the state, the decision has been made to become a non smoker come Monday morning.
Done it several times before...longest spell 5 years...just never stuck...if I don’t do this now, said docs, et al, tell me I may not have 5 years left, so...
Break out the carrot sticks

I begged my wife for 20 years to quit and she wouldn't. One day her grand daughter looked at her while she was smoking and said, "Nana those stink!" Next day she quit cold turkey and 8 years later the smell of cigarette smoke actually makes her sick. It can be done and I wish you the best of luck.
I hope any of you who smoke will try, and are able, to quit successfully. I watched my 71 year old mother die from metastatic lung cancer in '97 and it was pretty horrifying. It still creeps me out to remember what she went through. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Don't make your loved ones watch it happen to you. If you smoke, please quit now.

My father's lifetime of smoking resulted in him being in a position where he could have been saved from a painful death if only the smoking had not reduced his heart and lung capacity to the point where the operation itself was too high a risk. There is also no question that his daily quality of life during the latter part of lifetime was significantly impacted by smoking.
Interestingly enough it was all the coughing smokers I grew up around that convinced me at an early age that smoking was not a lifestyle choice I should make. My hat is off to anyone who can quit. I think there are probably some drugs that are easier to walk away from than cigarettes.

This.
My wife quit cold turkey 20-odd years ago, still experiences occasional cravings.
I love this thread, BTW. I got more laughs here than I do off any comedy channel!
