  • LordPhantom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+48Okay, now this is a clever way to achieve your goal, and I will digg it. :-) All those other lame posts just plugging the straight key in I will not.
  • Klarth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29My first impression of this story was "hey, a story with long numbers, oh it's that key again"

    My second was "oh, wait, it's about ipv6, silly me"

    My third was "okay now that was clever."
  • indiekiduk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29I think that digg probably can't wait for this day to end
  • ladman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26Love the creativity.
  • josephlucas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18With IP addresses that long, IPV6 sure gives me a new appreciation for DNS
  • Phocion55, on 10/29/2007, -3/+18There's still one MAJOR problem that may warrant legal action...........
    "Who has the millions to buy the 0900 range?"

    I own all legal rights to the number 900. You are sooooo sued.
  • arcooke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Isn't it past your bedtime?
  • scottious, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Umm, that IP is illegal now. Duh.
  • deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Wow I feel bad for whoever ends up pulling that IP someday. You going to jail.

  • SEN5241, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Most original use of ipv6 ever!
  • loconet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11All this reminds me of this 18th century event in France ..what was it again? Oh right. When do we get to use the guillotine?

    Save the numbers! Save the world!

  • arof, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7So if the "magic number" can be an IP address how can it be protected?

    And when half of the 10 articles on my digg feed are about this, I feel sorry for the cleanup crew.
  • jackyyll, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Ahhh i see what you did there...
  • swordedge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I just want to take a moment to tell everybody how to pronounce that really large number representing the number of addresses available with IPv6.

    Three Hundred Forty Undecillion Two Hundred Eighty Two Decillion Three Hundred Sixty Six Nonillion Nine Hundred Twenty Octillion Nine Hundred Thirty Eight Septillion Four Hundred Sixty Three Sextillion Four Hundred Sixty Three Quintillion Three Hundred Seventy Four Quadrillion Six Hundred Seven Trillion Four Hundred Thirty One Billion Seven Hundred Sixty Eight Million Two Hundred Eleven Thousand Four Hundred Fifty Six

    No, I did not work that out just now, I did it along time ago when I was curious about the size of the IPv6 address space.

  • MyNameIsJoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Yeah, it would have probably been better if they hadn't deleted the post. Now there is no way that anyone who has logged on in the last day doesn't know what those numbers are.
  • FatalTragedy316, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Stupidity knows no limits.
  • andersontucker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Say 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 again. SAY 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 AGAIN. I dare you, I double dare you, *****. Say 09-F9-11-02-9D-74-E3-5B-D8-41-56-C5-63-56-88-C0 one more goddamn time.
  • thunderer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Edit: Person above changed their post so my comment no longer makes sense.

    Anyways, great creativity.
  • jrchomrk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4this is the first hex post i actually lol'd at :)
  • Tasel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3yes, I'd have to agree with most of the people here. I responded "very nice, haxed". and then read the next story, and the next, and then anti stories, and the anti-anti stories... now i wish whoever found out that number never did. stupid drama (don't get me wrong, I understand both the legal side and the fact its all over the web and therefore a case of "close the door after the cows have left the barn"). This one however.... very clever. I shall have to give it a digg just for the cleverness of the digg.
  • g00dETH3R, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How am i going to remember monster IP's like that?
    Can you imagine talking to your network admin...
    You: Please allow 09F911029D74E35BD84156C5635688C0 in.
    Admin: You lost me at 74E
  • kavery, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I didn't think I'd ever memorize this, but holy ***** in a handbag, memorized it I have.
  • CerebroJD, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Love this post... I agree with jongos... first lol yet! :D
