RE: Statements against new.net?

IIRC, there was an "issue" around the assignment of 16.1.16.1; I don't think lawyers had been invented back then, so the scope of the scandal remained relatively small.
(The coolness factor was the binary representation, of course.)
Sorry, it was the hex representation, of course.
HEX:=="313631313631" Leet:="ELEBELELEBEL" Sorry, I just don't get it ... Is there another coding overlay?

16.1.16.1 = 0x10011001 regards, Daniel

Hex: 10011001 Bin: 10000000000010001000000000001 Best Regards, Simon Higgs -- It's a feature not a bug...
Hex: 10011001
This is what I was referring to, yes. For those who still don't get it (and as I've pointed out privately more than a few times today), it's a palindrome. Reads the same forwards as backwards. 15+ years ago, people were impressed by that sort of thing. Stephen

The binary equivalent of the hex is also a palindrome:
Bin: 10000000000010001000000000001
you're missing 3 bits ! Assuming you want to add 3 trailing 0's this would yield: Hex: 80088008 Quad: 128.8.128.8 which is a palindrome alright, but not the same address Stepehn mentioned.

Hex: 10011001
Bin: 00010000000000010001000000000001 Not a palindrome :-(

Because it does not matter whether it's network byte order or not? Mathias
