You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Also, 172.16.1.47 sounds like a "real" internet IP address, and not one like 192.168.0.1 like you'd see on a local network.

I'm pretty sure the 172.16.x.x subnet can be used much like 192.168.x.x. We use it for the servers that are in our DMZ.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm pretty sure the 172.16.x.x subnet can be used much like 192.168.x.x.

Huh. Looks like 172.16 - 172.31 are all private use. Man, I learned nothing in my networking class...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh? XP has built in zip compression utilities. Right click --> Send to --> Compressed (zipped) Folder.

I did not know that! And I don't know if I have XP at home.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I've been using the latest Firefox 3 beta quite a lot on my Mac. It's really good, I think. Although the lack of extensions is annoying.

The status is NOT quo.

Just FYI, I've hard reset the router and am re-equipping the security. Finally! Thanks.

Excel charting question cause my brain is dead and I need to get this done.

How do you add a trend line to a bar chart?

What's an easy way to produce better looking and higher resolution trend graphs than Excel?

I would not mind an answer to that question myself. About twelve years ago, I would have answered Harvard Graphics. Don't know what the answer is today. Also years ago VFP put out a charting program that had all sort of presentation options that other charting programs did not have - basically substituting meaningful symbols for bars and data points. For example you could do bar charts with coins, dollar bills, people, food items... As a database addin it was not a commercial success, and then MS took it over, though the charting program was already so dead I don't think that made any difference.

Anyway I would love even an answer to Toms question. But if anyone knows of a program that could do the other stuff too, I have a lot of use for being able to do bar charts that use dollar bills instead of just bars.

Heh. I almost said "Harvard Graphics" when Tom asked.
