Brucie, you cretin, my IP address has been the same for over three
years. How do I know? Because I connect back to it from remote
locations many times daily.
If what you said were actually true, then you could again access
www.boards.co.uk, the site that evicted you and blocks your IP. If you
had a new IP address this week, then you could get a new account and
continue slathering on the manure. But you can't get in there (I can,
though).
Incidentally, big guy, they're still chuckling at you, sinbad the
meathead.
"Bank security companies have a close watch on his posting, of course
not for the content, but for the activity..."
Total and complete BS, you moron. How would you possibly know such a
thing? You barely know your own name. (One day you're Bruce, the next
day you're Robby.)

I hear ya...... I read your Web site. Perhaps I'm lucky that I can
dabble in eng'g and dabble in another excellent (and very lucrative)
profession that's related to but not eng'g.
And it still leaves a few minutes daily for my favorite entertainment
-- the thrill of the hunt for a certain bozo.
Anyway, once a injiner, always a injiner.
Enjoy your new profession. There's nothing better than making money
doing what you enjoy most. In many ways, you're better off than most.

>>I probably should have worded it differently.<< Dog, you certainly
should have. It's you who has egg all over your face and your foot in
your mouth. I would change my name to Monkey, if I was you. In fact,
you guys are more fun than a barrel of them, so why not change it to
Monkey1 or Monkey2? The others will follow.

Take a look at your router, or modem config page and you will notice a lease
date along with the other dns server and gateway addresses and such.
if you turned off your modem so that it extended past the expiry on your
lease date you would get a new IP.
when you establish a dhcp server you can set up how long each "lease" should
be. for those of us that leave our modems on all the time and don't
experience frequent power outages you should typically have a somewhat
"static" ip.

Thats a little disappointing to hear...
although, if you think about how well the US has adapted to the metric
system a switch to IPv6 should not really be all that surprising.
at least we all do our part with litre boards meter sails and cm masts. :)

1948, In transition from his life as an earthworm to that of a
human being, cosmicharlie comes to twenty-year old Newman Darby in a dream
and describes the "universal joint."
1965, As Darby failed to patent the universal joint, the
youthful cosmicharlie approaches Hoyle Schweitzer and Jim Drake in an
attempt to get development back on track. By the end of 1968, this results
in the patent of the first windsurf board, the "Windsurfer"
1977 cosmicharlie, using the alias, Derk Thijs, sailed with 17.1 knots.
1982 cosmicharlie, using the alias, Pascal Maka bumped the record up to
27.82 knots at Weymouth.
1980's cosmicharlie brings aluminum booms, pintail boards, and mylar sails
to the world of windsurfing. He also discovers the Gorge.
2004 cosmicharlie, using the alias, Finian Maynard sets a new
record of 46.82 knots at the Trench.
1990's cosmicharlie designs sails that "twist." He also influences the
widespread use of carbon fiber resulting in lighter and more responsive
rigs.
Today cosmicharlie, worn out from all of his accomplishments, moves back
home to live with his mother. Out of great generosity, cosmicharlie shares
his wealth of knowledge with the common people who read the
rec.windsurfing newsgroup. The members of rec.windsurfing are awed
by his presence.
