Holy cow, never saw that before. by da-gimp 2008-01-15 09:26:40
Just took a call from a guy working on a military network. The person that set up that network had a twisted sense of humor. Every system on that network had an IP address that started off with 169.254

I started off by wondering how the guy was connected. Now I want to go home and do that to our network.
