I went to meetmyip.com today to get my ip. I was in internet explorer 7(i was bored yesterday) well, low and behold look what I see



anyways way to go microsoft jacking others open source code and using it in a program you have to buy

edit image is around 500 KB

also don't say that internet explorer is free. To prove my point, somebody on linux or mac try to download IE7 and install it. You need a good copy of windows. meaning you have to buy that copy of windows

thats localhost though, are you using proxy or is it a bug with ie 7 or something.

Who cares if someone else knows your IP...?

Opera uses the Mozilla/4.0 agent as well.

I'll give them to Ricky if he feels like wasting time by rooting Windows boxes.

Why hide my IP. I can get anyone's IP I want... well as long as they e-mail, or AIM me.

yep just for fun i had bryon try to connect to my computer remote desktoping and he was able to, and i never knew it. but for some reason the second time i had another kid do it, it blanked the screen and did a fast logoff meaning i could log back on.
