Sorry to ruin your fun but...

The address 127.0.0.1 is called a loopback address.
It is used as a special address to access the local host
in the same manner as a remote host.
That is, when you ftp to 127.0.0.1, you are really
ftp'ing to your own computer (which is why
you need to use your real user name and password).

The reason I bother to mention this is that there are
new users out there who should know:

Never fall for any trick that tells you to
enter "your actual user name and password".
In this case it is innoculous, but you should
know never to do such a thing.  There are people
who write programs to induce you to enter such information
that, later, they can use to break into your system.

This probably explains why the prototype crashed.  If you've seen the
film of it going down, you'll have seen it wagging its tail just before
it did so.

The U.S.A.F. is now trying to train a pilot who will bite the dog if the
dog ever tries to touch the controls.

   Look, what's the point of this whole debate over measurement systems?
We have our own way, it works fine, and no amount of prattling by some
holier-than-thou (or should it be a "more-eurocratic-than-vous"?) nitwit
who thinks that any system designed to be easy to humans will magically
improve everything in this country. With the Metric system, one can
easily mix up units (all of this silly remembering of whether a pico
is 10^-18 or if "deca-", although it's defined, is actually used). In some
experience, I've found that forcing you to go out of your way to think
about things leads to fewer mistakes than a system ostensibely designed
to be easy...
   Metric units, in my experience, are the wrong size. Look at distance:
they have centimeters, or about 1/2.54 inches, and the next larger unit
COMMONLY used is the meter. There isn't anything in between! And look at
temperature-- Metric units are so big that people are forced into using
half degrees, or reverting to the much more informative "It's going to
be a scorcher tomorrow."
   It can be argued that the conventional system has got some weird
measurements, but the question is: are they being used? Rods, gils, and
everything else exist only in the appendices of books, not in the minds
of the general public, as the metrics seem to think.
   The fact is that Europe has switched to a system that is easy to
convert between values, but is not so easy for the humans. Now that we
all have calculators, who cares about the conversions, I want to be
fairly precise!
   Although this is probably fanning the flames of this conversation,
it's time someone put down some rampant calls for forced metricaization
of this country as what they are: people trying to impose their views
upon others without their approval, intellectual rape.

My favorite Yogi Berism is when he ordered a pizza and they asked him
if he wanted it in 4 or 8 slices.

He said, "Better make it 4. I don't think I could eat 8."

The following joke, posted by "Brian Frank Wawryk" was ripped-off from
Scott Adams' comic strip Dilbert.  Should we speculate as to "Brian Frank
Wawryk"'s motives?  Perhaps "Brian Frank Wawryk" edited an earlier
Dilbert post of mine.  Maybe "Brian Frank Wawryk" actually reads
Dilbert.  Or is trying to appear humorous and clever on the net by
stealing unattributed the work of others?

You be the judge:

Original Dilbert Quote:

[Panel 1, Cranky Old Geezer (COG) speaks]: When I started programming,
		we didn't have any of these sissy "icons" and "windows".

[Panel 2, COG]: All we had were zeros and ones -- and sometimes we
		didn't even have ones.

[Panel 3, COG]: I wrote an entire database program using only zeros.

[Dilbert replies]: You had zeros?  We had to use the letter "O".
