[View Quote] 99% of ISPs I've seen don't allow you to do this. For good reason. I
find it funny that roadrunner tells people not to make permanent IP
numbers because everyone else wouldn't be able to get online. (which
isn't true because I'm sure I've done it twice while setting up linux
with their modem)

[View Quote] "Or you could manually type in a new "Network address" in the properties
for the network interface card."

I don't see "Network Address" anywhere under TCP/IP's configs for any
device that connects to any network service. Unless you meant "IP
address" instead of "Network Address." That reasonably makes more sense
than "Machine Address Code."

But, you have to be more clear. You can't "set" a MAC address through
any reasonable means last I checked. NIC are just fancy acronym for
ethernet cards, and their configurations through TCP is just the same as
any other device (modems for instance).

Maybe I missed the option that let me set it's network address though. :(

[View Quote] You've adequately evaded the purpose of my point. Why do you need a
timestamp in a Gas station pump for cash? Why, no, I'm not missing the
point, why do you need to record cash? You can't, it's just silly and
stupid to keep track of who's paying you by cash (and then timestamps
serve no purpose for cash payments which brings me back to my original
comment). I'm sure that certain someone(s) will chime in with the link
to pictures, of course.

You can't keep track of who's paying you by cash unless you have book
keeping skills that would shame the Roman publicani, anyways.

I need proof where a timestamp is useful for cash payments, that's all I
asked for originally and you've still yet to answer me. So, I'm going
to consider any retort, such as my "missing the points," as you having
no answer for me. But hey, your hostility to me wouldn't happen to have
to do with earlier comments -- I can beat a dead horse too.

[View Quote] You only ignore things you can't deal with. You just have no answer for
the fact why there'd be _any_ reason to have a timestamp in a gas pump.
Speculation has brought me to the reason that the gas stations you've
been to accept credit cards and the reason for the timestamp was to keep
track of the payments (and if you can no longer add seconds on a 16 bit
system it's going to think you're from 1900 or some weird date like that
and charge you insane late fees). So, back to my original point and
question, why would a gas station need a timestamp for pumping gas?

own, market it for a little less than the standard rendering engine on
the market (make a profit for once with a smart decision) and work on
getting a damn multi-platform code going.

Code developers (for bots/models) are most likely going to be from a
*nix background. Look at the dual A's... :P. Texture developers are
