SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: Thanks for the quick reply!

: - Shouldn't (>6) be (<6) ?

Err, yes, actually. It should.

: -Static Ip? Sorry I'm a morron when it gets to IP-server
: stuff, so its not so simple like
: creating a Deus Ex host? How, where do I ask for an
: static IP address, if you bother to answer this most
: likely stupid question.

Most DSL/ADSL customers have a dynamically-assigned IP address, meaning that every time you connect to the internet you have a new address. You can still host games with your friends by giving them your current IP address (or play over a LAN), but since the IP address is subject to change , if you tell everyone your address and host a game, at some point you'll need to tell everyone your new address or they will not be able to connect. A static IP address is a reserved address that never changes: you'll need one if you want to host a web page on your home machine, for example, or have a persistant server that players can connect to reliably. Some ISPs will sell you a static IP address for $10-15 additional per month, rarely you will find one that provides this service for free (DirecTV DSL is one).

: Sorry for waisting your time.

Shouldn't that be "wasting"? :-)
