I prefer to get letters and speak with people - but if it wasn't for 'cyber space' I wouldn't have made some of the good friends I have who are too far away to visit regularly .... so don't dislike modern technology :)

peppi think we have diverted the debate rather lol.....

modern technology versus the 'old' methods of communication ?

who misses the letter in the post, the spoken phone call from a mate not a text.... the real person in the flesh (so to speak!) rather than the cyber friend.....??

answers by carrier pigeon please.....lol

99% of IP addresses are immediately traceable unless you actually go out of your way to alter your routing.

Thats about it Tony W are you working on the new system to .........??

TonyW

TonyW Report 16 Nov 2008 21:44

And that was in English?

It's actually quite simple and straightforward.

A IP Address is the unique 32 bit number assigned to each computer connected to the Internet and used by the TCP/IP protocol to route packets of data to their destinations. The number is usually written in shorthand "dotted octet" notation in which the 32 bit address is grouped into four sets of 8 bits. Each of those eight-bit sets is converted into a decimal number, and the four resulting decimal numbers are written separated by dots.

Some are fixed, some are not.

like c = 1000 x = 2000
