hahahaha... yes... and there is a cospiracy of thousands of Open Source programmers that know... but that stay silent ;) Did they ever heard about peers review? It remembers me what happened to PGP for Win once NSA sponsored "backdoors" ;) -- For Echelon: tomorrow at 8 GMT Saddam will bomb Alaska
I tried to enter a vote on this poll and it accused me of multiple voting and would not take my vote. I wonder whether they somehow detected that my system is SuSE and automatically discarded my vote? Does M$ have a dirty tricks department? On Wednesday 05 September 2001 19:18, cikasole wrote:

Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and see if the ip that shows up matches the output from ifconfig. Most likely you are either on a transparent proxy (many providers do this) or are NATed. In either case, everybody on your network will appear to have the same IP to remote web hosts. If your IP, as reported by ifconfig, begins with 10 or 192.168, you are behind a NAT box. Those are not real IPs. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7l3sc+FOexA3koIgRAonsAKC8NT/Y03pVO+hWw7OP+9tXTXfULgCgrGyA Qbv4cmSEPgcARn012Df00jY= =HrUk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hmmm you're right. Never thought to check because my IP shows up correctly in the "Last login from " message on my work machine after I have ssh-ed into it. I don't have a private IP. Whatsmyip shows my IP as that of a webcache run by my ISP. Amazing - my ISP is smarter than I gave them credit for! (This is no reflection on Demon btw, I use a cable modem at home and use my Demon acct from there by POP3.) Thanks for making me check more carefully ;-) Arthur On Thursday 06 September 2001 14:33, you wrote:

I am a developer, but I still haven't looked at the source of more than a tiny fraction of the programs I use. I do trust the open source model in this, for one simple reason: a developer/distributor would have to have his head examined, if he were to put things in his programs that would guarantee him a position as the second most hated person in the world, and then *distribute the source* making it only a question of time before anyone notices. The whole concept is just silly Almost as silly as that vote result. Anders On Wednesday 05 September 2001 20.18, cikasole wrote:
