Lol, it is in Chit Chat section. If it is in Computer section, maybe we are wrong. Anyway some idiot get ready porn corn and buy a ticket already, but our...

I wonder why we singaporeans are sharing a single IP address?
unlike other countries why cant we have seperate IP address for each user?
according to sources we are sharing 202.156.6.54

^tamago^ SG

singnet not enough IP's so using proxy servers... Crying or Very sad

MosPyramid SG

Nope, how can so many people share one ip?

This ip is from the service provide called starhub one. START>RUN>CMD "tracert 202.156.6.54"

It is almost impossible for 4 million people to share one home right? This ip is maybe shared among your home, and your router assign you and other computer a different DHCP but using only one external ip: 202.156.6.54

MosPyramid SG

You know what is a proxy server used for?

chenc SG

Do you have a router at home, if yes i wouldn't be surprised that you said such thing

casino_king SG

That is the "external" address. When data from the internet comes in, it goes to the computer with this address. From this address it is farmed out to the computers connected to the address.

The data sent by the individual computers are caught by the computer with the "external" address and sent out into the internet.

oh

anyway from source:

This IP is shared by ALL users on MaxOnline, StarHub Cable Vision Ltd, i.e. all users in Singapore (4,326,000 inhabitants according to Wikipedia) using this ISP, which is Singapore's largest broadband ISP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:202.156.6.54

MosPyramid SG

Aiyo.. you don't understand the message meh?

This ip is a common ip for starhub maxonline user only. Singtel and pacific uses different ip.

That message is because many people are vendalizing wikipedia with that ip, but since it is greatly rotated, therefore unable to ban.

You know about you ip? It is your isp lease to you one, not yours. Therefore after a days or weeks it will changed. You can't get a permanent ip without paying. That ip i suspect it rotates very commonly around starhub user, therefore if it is banned, it might caused great inconvenience to starhub user

chenc SG

Oh my! Can't believe anyone still take wikipedia so serious nowadays. Hello! Anyone can write in wiki! Confused

ceecookie SG

oh got it...i do understand already....hah sry for the incovinence Embarassed

another thing is that playing with tracert (IP) in command is a fun thing to do when ur bored..lol
like try this one 168.169.228.36,will bring u somewhere Laughing

MosPyramid SG

No, you are wrong.

Wikipedia is very useful indeed.

Just like a art piece, people wiil appreciate and people will vandalized it. Not because it is drawn by someone lousy meaning it is not a good art piece. Same as people vandalized therefore you can't see it is a good art piece.

MosPyramid SG

Lol, no worries. Laughing

At the same time, you can play around with ping command &
telnet
open 168.169.228.36 commands.

ceecookie SG

playing wif tracert is indeed fun Laughing

chenc SG

Ummm..... The problem here is how reliable it can be. Can you totally trust it or not. And the answer is no becuase, like you say, people will vandalize.

So in what way is my statement wrong? You said i am wrong but carried on to say something about art. Whats the relationship here? Laughing

You posted the most interesting arguement i have ever seen in ages

MosPyramid SG

Interesting people post interesting things marhz Laughing

Ages no people find me interesting le... Embarassed haha..

I am supporting Wikipedia because I get a lot of useful information from it. My work needs it. You can said you get something better from some other website, but how can you so sure it is the fact?

Nevertheless, I will not only check one website for its' fact. I google it! also. All of the time, the information matches and Wikipedia even provides more detail explanation. Very Happy

chenc SG

I only consider online source but never base on them, except some news websites. I usually do reaserch with Microsoft Encarta and Encyclopaedia Britannica. Both are throughly checked before publishing and carries law bonds, meaning if they make a mistake in their infomation you can sue them for compensation. I guess this is reliable enough.

However, i must agree with you that wiki, though has loads of rubbish, can contain true and based information as well.

MosPyramid SG

Hmm... Britannica encyclopaedia I don't know, but Microsoft Encarta is degraded since 2002.
Even it contains a lot of additional features like world map, education game, etc. But the area it is covering is confined. For example, you searched a country in Encarta, it can gives you lots and lots of picture and a lot of information about it. It focus a lot. However its area is not wide enough.

chenc SG

2002? Have you tried the 2006 Premium Edition? I guess not

Britannica is the best

MosPyramid SG

Nah, from 2002 onwards people doesn't really have faith in Encarta anymore. For example, I did a search in Encarta psd, return a lame result: Social Democratic Party, Portugal

So never mind, I search again in full using power spectral density, it show me articles on power instead.

Wikipedia is editable because the latest technology, math formula, etc is updated constantly. It will never depreciate like Encarta does.

What if you at you wits end? Online sources are limited, Encarta all those doesn't have enough information? Only wikipedia have, even it is baseless and wrote by some unknown guy. But it is definately worth a try right? Wink
