As I've always said, "Quartic equations need to be solved when ray tracing 4th degree surfaces e.g., a torus. Quartics also need to be solved in a number of problems involving quadric surfaces. Quadric surfaces (i.e. ellipsoids, paraboloids, hyperboloids, cones) are useful in computer graphics for generating objects with curved surfaces (Badler, 1979). Fewer primitives are required than with planar surfaces to approximate a curved surface to a given accuracy (Herbison-Evans, 1982).

Bicubic surfaces may also be used for the composition of curved objects. They have the advantage of being able to incorporate recurves: lines of inflection. There is a problem, however, when drawing the outlines of bicubics in the calculation of hidden arcs. The visibility of an outline can change where its projection intersects that of another outline. The intersection can be found as the simultaneous solution of the two projected outlines. For bicubic surfaces, these outlines are cubics, and the simultaneous solution of two of these is a sextic which can only be solved by iterative techniques. For quadric surfaces, the projected outlines are quadratic. The simultaneous solution of two of these leads to a quartic equation."

"For every Culture has its own Civilization. In this work, for the first time the two words, hitherto used to express in an indefinite, more or less ethical, distinction, are used ina periodic sense, to express a strict and necessary organic succession. The Civilization is the inevitable destiny of the Culture, and in this principle we obtain the viewpoint from which the deepest and gravest problems of historical morphology become capable of solution. Civilizations are the most external and artificial states of which a species of developed humanity is capable. They are a conclusion, the thing-become succeeding the thing- becoming, death following life, rigidity following expansion, intellectual age and the stone-built, petrifying world-city following mother-earth and the spiritual childhood of Doric and Gothic. They are an end, irrevocable, yet by inward necessity reached again and again."

When the ATSF later added an east-west line through the middle of town, it became known on the area maps of the time ....as N.exchange and S.exchange."

"The above variants, along with those among the multiple readings of
numerous other pieces, provide convincing evidence for certain practices. Those who were commissioned to gather a collection of motets and related pieces were free to add one or even two voices to an existing Tenor-Duplum pair. Conversely, they were free to dismantle a piece for three or four voices and present it as one or more pieces for fewer voices. Usually, a piece for three voices was reduced by omission of the Triplum, while a piece for four voices lost either its Quadruplum or its Quadruplum and Triplum. The scribes occasionally even entered a Duplum or a Duplum with Triplum without Tenor. With respect to texts, scribes were free to enter a motet without its
text and give the music as a clausula or even as a discant passage in an organum, just as they could enter a motet with a text other than the original one. Conversely, they must have felt free to add a text to a Tenor-Duplum pair that had started out as a clausula or a discant passage. To a certain extent, moreover, an existing text and its music were subject to variation, and we often have no way of knowing whether the change was made deliberately or by mistake. Those who performed motets, and that probably included creators of motets, had similar freedoms. All of this strongly suggests that the modern respect for the "authentic" form had no parallel among those who transmitted motets to us."

Fast is that island set among the fens.
Murderous are the people who inhabit
That island. They will wish to capture him
If he comes with a troop. We are apart.
Grieved have I for my Wulf with distant longings.
Then it was rainy weather, and I sad,
When the bold warrior laid his arms about me.
I took delight in that and also pain.
O Wulf, my Wulf, my longing for your coming
Has made me ill, the rareness of your visits,
My grieving spirit, not the lack of food.
Eadwacer, do you hear me? For a wolf
Shall carry to the woods our wretched whelp.
Men very easily may put asunder
That which was never joined, our song together.

The NC div of MH/DD/SA is requiring all Area programs to divest themselves of services. The Area programs are now Local Management Entities (LME) who will manage and monitor services. They will accept bids from the private sector for an entity to become the local Comprehensive Service Agency (CSA). The CSA will provide CSS services, including CBS services with 5 member teams supervised by a QMHP. They must serve all in the IPRS population. Non target IPRS populations will not be served. The CSA will also provide a comprehensive CES 24-7. There will be both UCR and non-UCR funding streams. IPRS eligibility will be determined by the individual's DSM-IV or ICD-9 diagnosis in combination with the current GAF score. COI's will no longer be required as the State is moving to the TOPPS system of outcome assessment. MR-CAPP clients will be served by a separate agency. Services for the SA population have yet to be determined.

1. The data elements in field 007 are positionally defined and the number of character positions in field 007 depends upon the code contained in 007/00. Character position 00 contains a code that identifies the category of material. The fill character (|) is not allowed in this position. The fill character may be used in any other character position when the cataloging agency makes no attempt to code the position.

The categories of material for which field 007 is applicable in bibliographic records are presented in the following order in the field description: map, electronic resource, globe, tactile material, projected graphic, microform, nonprojected graphic, motion picture, kit, notated music, remote-sensing image, sound recording, text, videorecording, and unspecified.

2. A subnet mask increases the amount of address that is deemed to be "network" thereby reducing the amount of host for each address.

e.g. Class C address 194.64.48.86, mask 255.255.255.240

In binary:

Address 11000010.01000000.00110000.01010110

Mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000

So the network is the 28 most significant bits.

To determine the subnet, the address is ANDed with the mask.

Address 11000010.01000000.00110000.01010110

Mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000

=========================================

ANDed 11000010.01000000.00110000.01010000

Thus, to determine whether two addresses are in the same subnet, the address is ANDed with the mask, and the two results compared.

E.g. Is 194.64.48.86 in the same subnet as 194.64.48.162, when a mask of 255.255.255.240 is applied?

Address 11000010.01000000.00110000.01010110 194.64.48.86

Mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 255.255.255.240

=======================================================

ANDed 11000010.01000000.00110000.01010000 194.64.48.80

Address 11000010.01000000.00110000.10100010 194.64.48.162

Mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 255.255.255.240

========================================================

ANDed 11000010.01000000.00110000.10100000 194.64.48.160

Subnets are 194.64.48.80 and 194.64.48.160, so they are not in the same subnet.

Only the last octet need really be considered when testing this - 195.200.21.50 is clearly not the same network!

Also, if the subnet is applied in this way, simply determining the least significant bit of the mask (in our case, 100002 or 16) gives the number of addresses in each subnet, so the addresses will be 0-15, 16-31, 32-47, 48-63, etc. As "all zero" and "all one" addresses are not allowed, 194.64.48.0, 194.64.48.15, 194.64.48.16, 194.64.48.31, 194.64.48.32, etc. are not legitimate when masked to 255.255.255.240 (in binary, these make the last 4 bits all zeroes or all ones; these are the host addresses reserved for network or broadcast).

You want dull? I'll give you dull!

When data is received, the opposite happens. Each layer strips off its header and/or trailer before passing the data up to the layer above. As information flows back up the stack, information received from a lower layer is interpreted as both a header/trailer and data. The process of removing headers and trailers from data is called decapsulation. This mechanism enables each layer in the transmitting computer to communicate with its corresponding layer in the receiving computer. Each layer in the transmitting computer communicates with its peer layer in the receiving computer via a process called peer-to-peer communication.

Each layer has specific responsibilities and specific rules for carrying out those responsibilities, and it knows nothing about the procedures that the other layers follow. A layer carries out its tasks and delivers the message to the next layer in the protocol stack. An address mechanism is the common element that allows data to be routed through the various layers until it reaches its destination.

Each layer also has its own independent data structures. Conceptually, a layer is unaware of the data structures used by the layers above and below it. In reality, the data structures of a layer are designed to be compatible with the structures used by the surrounding layers for the sake of more efficient data transmission. Still, each layer has its own data structures and its own terminology to describe those structures.

I came back today to visit like I said I would.
The nurse lets me in, cause I said I was your friend.
So I was cleaning out my desk drawer yesterday.
I found more rubber bands to put in the collection...you remember my rubber band collection. Most of them are brown, but some are different colors.
Do you think I should put them all together, or keep the red and blue ones away from the brown ones.
I saw a picture once on a TV show about a guy who made a big ball of rubber bands, but this seems like a waste of time to me.
Later they put it in a plane to see if it would bounce, but it blew up instead. There was big blobs of rubber everywhere.
I also found a felt tip pen, but it was dried up.
Do you know a way to make them work after they dry up?
I put the Celeon Deyon CD on, cause somebody said you like music.
If you don't, blink your eyes twice. If you can't blink twice, just blink to let me know that.
Do you think she's really French?
I really liked that song she sings.
And you like music so I brought it.
So. anyway, the felt tip pen was red, but the most I get is a pink spot, and I have to push the point on the paper for a long time.
Now the point is all mushy.
I was going to make some signs for my rubber band collection, but I guess I'll have to look for another felt tip pen. I hope it's no dry, too.
Do you think people keep dry felt tip pens on purpose, or they just forget them in the drawer.
Maybe there's a different color in there.
Are you crying from the dust?
I see that tear on your face.
I'll wipe it off with my sweater sleeve.
There's a lot of dust in air. Maybe that why you got that tear.
Did you know that half of dust is really mites who eat the dust, so you have bugs crawling on you all the time, when you thought it was just dust. I saw that in a TV message.
They live in your pillow. Sometimes at night, I think I hear them crawling around in my pillow.
Do you hear them.
Maybe you can listen for them tonight. I think they make little clicky noises...but really tiny.
I have to go now, 'cause my cousin gave me a big box of rubber bands to put in the collection. Maybe there will be colors mixed in.
I'll just turn the CD up so you can enjoy the music when I leave.
But I'll be back soon.

Well, since you people have obviously not found enough dullness:

All humane things are subject to decay,
And, when Fate summons, Monarchs must obey:
This Fleckno found, who, like Augustus, young
Was call'd to Empire, and had govern'd long:
In Prose and Verse, was own'd, without dispute
Through all the Realms of Non-sense, absolute.
This aged Prince now flourishing in Peace,
And blest with issue of a large increase,
Worn out with business, did at length debate
To settle the succession of the State:
And pond'ring which of all his Sons was fit
To Reign, and wage immortal War with Wit;
Cry'd, 'tis resolv'd; for Nature pleads that He
Should onely rule, who most resembles me:
Sh—— alone my perfect image bears,
Mature in dullness from his tender years.
Sh—— alone, of all my Sons, is he
Who stands confirm'd in full stupidity.
The rest to some faint meaning make pretence,
But Sh—— never deviates into sense.
Some Beams of Wit on other souls may fall,
Strike through and make a lucid interval;
But Sh——'s genuine night admits no ray,
His rising Fogs prevail upon the Day:
Besides his goodly Fabrick fills the eye,
And seems design'd for thoughtless Majesty:
Thoughtless as Monarch Oakes, that shade the plain,
And, spread in solemn state, supinely reign.
Heywood and Shirley were but Types of thee,
Thou last great Prophet of Tautology:
Even I, a dunce of more renown than they,
Was sent before but to prepare thy way;
And coarsely clad in Norwich drugget came
To teach the nations in thy greater name.
My warbling Lute, the Lute I whilom strung
When to King John of Portugal I sung,
Was but the prelude to that glorious day,
When thou on silver Thames did'st cut thy way,
With well tim'd Oars before the Royal Barge,
Swell'd with the Pride of thy Celestial charge;
And big with Hymn, Commander of an Host,
The like was ne'er in Epsom blankets toss'd.
Methinks I see the new Arion Sail,
The Lute still trembling underneath thy nail.
At thy well sharpned thumb from Shore to Shore
The Treble squeaks for fear, the Bases roar:
Echoes from Pissing-Ally, Sh—— call,
And Sh—— they resound from A—— Hall.
About thy boat the little Fishes throng,
As at the Morning Toast, that Floats along.
Sometimes as Prince of thy Harmonious band
Thou wield'st thy Papers in thy threshing hand.
St. André's feet ne'er kept more equal time,
Not ev'n the feet of thy own Psyche's rhime:
Though they in number as in sense excell;
So just, so like tautology they fell,
That, pale with envy, Singleton forswore
The Lute and Sword which he in Triumph bore
And vow'd he ne'er would act Villerius more.
Here stopt the good old Syre; and wept for joy
In silent raptures of the hopefull boy.
All arguments, but most his Plays, perswade,
That for anointed dullness he was made.
Close to the Walls which fair Augusta bind,
(The fair Augusta much to fears inclin'd)
An ancient fabrick, rais'd t' inform the sight,
There stood of yore, and Barbican it hight:
A watch Tower once; but now, so Fate ordains,
Of all the Pile an empty name remains.
From its old Ruins Brothel-houses rise,
Scenes of lewd loves, and of polluted joys.
Where their vast Courts, the Mother-Strumpets keep,
And, undisturb'd by Watch, in silence sleep.
Near these a Nursery erects its head,
Where Queens are form'd, and future Hero's bred;
Where unfledg'd Actors learn to laugh and cry,
Where infant Punks their tender Voices try,
And little Maximins the Gods defy.
Great Fletcher never treads in Buskins here,
Nor greater Johnson dares in Socks appear;
But gentle Simkin just reception finds
Amidst this Monument of vanisht minds:
Pure Clinches, the suburbian Muse affords;
And Panton waging harmless war with words.
Here Fleckno, as a place to Fame well known,
Ambitiously design'd his Sh——'s Throne.
For ancient Decker propheci'd long since,
That in this Pile should reign a mighty Prince,
Born for a scourge of wit, and flail of sense:
To whom true dullness should some Psyches owe,
But worlds of Misers from his pen should flow;
Humorists and hypocrites it should produce,
Whole Raymond families, and Tribes of Bruce.
Now Empress Fame had publisht the renown,
Of Sh——'s coronation through the town.
Rous'd by report of fame, the nations meet,
From near Bun-Hill, and distant Watling-street.
No Persian Carpets spread th'imperial way,
But scatter'd limbs of mangled poets lay:
From dusty shops neglected authors come,
Martyrs of Pies, and Reliques of the Bum.
Much Heywood, Shirly, Ogleby there lay,
But loads of Sh—— almost choakt the way.
Bilk't Stationers for Yeomen stood prepar'd,
And H—— was Captain of the Guard.
The hoary Prince in Majesty appear'd,
High on a Throne of his own Labours rear'd.
At his right hand our young Ascanius sat
Rome's other hope, and pillar of the State.
His Brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
And lambent dullness plaid arround his face.
As Hannibal did to the Altars come,
Sworn by his Syre a mortal Foe to Rome;
So Sh—— swore, nor should his Vow bee vain,
That he till Death true dullness would maintain;
And in his father's Right, and Realms defence,
Ne'er to have peace with Wit, nor truce with Sense.
The King himself the sacred Unction made,
As King by Office, and as Priest by Trade:
In his sinister hand, instead of Ball,
He plac'd a mighty Mug of potent Ale;
Love's Kingdom to his right he did convey,
At once his Sceptre and his rule of Sway;
Whose righteous Lore the Prince had practis'd young,
And from whose Loyns recorded Psyche sprung,
His Temples last with Poppies were o'er spread,
That nodding seem'd to consecrate his head:
Just at that point of time, if Fame not lye,
On his left hand twelve reverend Owls did fly.
So Romulus, 'tis sung, by Tyber's Brook,
Presage of Sway from twice six Vultures took.
Th' admiring throng loud acclamations make,
And Omens of his future Empire take.
The Syre then shook the honours of his head,
And from his brows damps of oblivion shed
Full on the filial dullness: long he stood,
Repelling from his Breast the raging God;
At length burst out in this prophetick mood:

Heavens bless my Son, from Ireland let him reign
To farr Barbadoes on the Western main;
Of his Dominion may no end be known,
And greater than his Father's be his Throne.
Beyond loves Kingdom let him stretch his Pen;
He paus'd, and all the people cry'd Amen.
Then thus, continu'd he, my Son advance
Still in new Impudence, new Ignorance.
Success let other teach, learn thou from me
Pangs without birth, and fruitless industry.
Let Virtuoso's in five years be Writ;
Yet not one thought accuse thy toyl of wit.
Let gentle George in triumph tread the Stage,
Make Dorimant betray, and Loveit rage;
Let Cully, Cockwood, Fopling, charm the Pit,
And in their folly show the Writers wit.
Yet still thy fools shall stand in thy defence,
And justifie their Author's want of sense.
Let 'em be all by thy own model made
Of dullness, and desire no foreign aid:
That they to future ages may be known,
Not Copies drawn, but issue of thy own.
Nay let thy men of wit too be the same,
All full of thee, and differing but in name;
But let no alien S—dl—y interpose
To lard with wit thy hungry Epsom prose.
And when false flowers of Rhetorick thou would'st cull,
Trust Nature, do not labour to be dull;
But write thy best, and top; and in each line,
Sir Formal's oratory will be thine.
Sir Formal, though unsought, attends thy quill,
And does thy Northern Dedications fill.
Nor let false friends seduce thy mind to fame,
By arrogating Johnson's Hostile name.
Let Father Fleckno fire thy mind with praise,
And Uncle Ogleby thy envy raise.
Thou art my blood, where Johnson has no part;
What share have we in Nature or in Art?
Where did his wit on learning fix a brand,
And rail at Arts he did not understand?
Where made he love in Prince Nicander's vein,
Or swept the dust in Psyche's humble strain?
Where sold he Bargains, Whip-stitch, kiss my Arse,
Promis'd a Play and dwindled to a Farce?
When did his Muse from Fletcher scenes purloin,
As thou whole Eth'ridg dost transfuse to thine?
But so transfus'd as Oyl on Waters flow,
His always floats above, thine sinks below.
This is thy Province, this thy wondrous way,
New Humours to invent for each new Play:
This is that boasted Byas of thy mind,
By which one way, to dullness, 'tis inclin'd,
Which makes thy writings lean on one side still,
And in all changes that way bends thy will.
Nor let thy mountain belly make pretence
Of likeness; thine's a tympany of sense.
A Tun of Man in thy Large bulk is writ,
But sure thou'rt but a Kilderkin of wit.
Like mine thy gentle numbers feebly creep,
Thy Tragick Muse gives smiles, thy Comick sleep.
With whate'er gall thou sett'st thy self to write,
Thy inoffensive Satyrs never bite.
In thy felonious heart, though Venom lies,
It does but touch thy Irish pen, and dyes.
Thy Genius calls thee not to purchase fame
In keen Iambicks, but mild Anagram:
Leave writing Plays, and choose for thy command
Some peaceful Province in Acrostick Land.
There thou maist wings display and Altars raise,
And torture one poor word Ten thousand ways.
Or if thou would'st thy diff'rent talents suit,
Set thy own Songs, and sing them to thy lute.
He said, but his last words were scarcely heard,
For Bruce and Longvil had a Trap prepar'd,
And down they sent the yet declaiming Bard.
Sinking he left his Drugget robe behind,
Born upwards by a subterranean wind.
The Mantle fell to the young Prophet's part,
With double portion of his Father's Art.

Dredges are important. I was out on the Mississippi river once, in early October during the week, when we broke a shear pin in the outboard motor. We were able to paddle to a sandbar made by a dredge and got ashore. Finally we found the remains of some welding rod, with which we were able to create a temporary shear pin and get back.*

Dredges are important. Without dredges I might still be out on the Mississippi, living with my friends on a sandbar, surviving on beer and catfish, trying to get to shore. Instead, I live in Idaho.















*The next Spring the owner of the boat took it out fishing and hit an submerged log. My friend had forgot to mention to his father that we'd had to use welding rod for a shear pin, and welding rod is a LOT tougher than the soft bronze of the correct shear pin. In short, the clutch of the motor broke and his father had to paddle five MILES against the Spring current of the Mississippi River to get back. That's five MILES of paddling with a board, not a paddle or an oar. He wasn't in a very good mood after that....

I used to apologize but found it to be too much trouble. Besides, how many ways can you say "I'm sorry" without sounding repetitious? Now if anyone wants me to apologize I just punch 'em out. Saves all that hanging around, waiting for them to throw the first punch. Premptive, ya know? Just the other day I got stopped by a cop and he told me to apologize and he'd only give me a warning for doing 124 mph in a schoolyard, so I just punched him out. Simple, really. Now I'm hiding up in the hills, running from the cops and the posse. That's the other thing. Nobody today seems to have a sense of humor. I remember a sense of humor, back in the days of "Francis The Talking Mule" and "Ma and Pa Kettle" movies. Now, those were funny. Not like the stuff you have today, stuff like "Geech and Chong" or "Firestone Theatre" or "Saturday Night Life" and things. Why can't they bring back Francis and maybe pair him up with Mr. Ed? Now, you gotta admit that that would be funny, a talking horse and a talking mule. And while there at it they could combine the Beverly Hillbillies with Ma and Pa Kettle, and maybe Hee-Haw with the Dukes of Hazzard and that show with Barney Fife. But nobody listens to my suggestions anyway, like that cop I was telling you about. I made a suggestion to him just before I punched him out, but he sort of took umbrage at the suggestions. Which is why I'm living up in the hills.

But quite apart from the specific problem of the world itself, can the Being of what we encounter proximally within-the-world be reached ontologically by this procedure? When we speak of material Thinghood , have we not tacitly posited a kind of Being - the constant presence-at-hand of Things - which is so far from having been rounded out ontologically by subsequently




            (By the way, this is going, particularly for the 'dull'
                bit.)


(to resume)   by subsequently endowing entities with value predicates, that these value-characters are rather just ontological characteristics of those entities which have the kind of Being possessed by Things?

AMERICAN STOPS WASHING HAIR!
number three by Jason Headley

It's been a long time since I've been involved in any actual science. There's been the pseudo-science of figuring out the absolute latest time I can set my alarm clock and still make it to work, if not precisely on time, at least within the range of an excuse that doesn't require a bewildering melange of fantasy and bold-faced lies. (No amount of higher math prepared me for the equation I've baked up for this one.) But this hair thing is real science. I can't bullshit my way through it. I've been dedicated. I've been steadfast. But last week it struck me that I haven't been a very good scientist.

In a true scientific experiment, you have to limit your variables to truly study cause and effect. You can't have a whole shitload of stuff going on at once, otherwise you'll never learn a goddamn thing. I realized I'd made this exact rookie mistake with my hair. You see, not only had I stopped washing it, but I'd let it grow to at least twice it's normal length. And in the process I'd lost all track of what was causing what. Were the fuzzy, frizzy, flyaway properties my hair was exhibiting due to the delinquent grooming or the delinquent hygiene? I couldn't say. Because I'd strayed from the Scientific Method.

So on Friday, two weeks to the day since my last washing, I cut my hair. Brought it back down to the length I'm more familiar with, so I could more accurately study the effects of the experiment. The results to date:

OIL Over two weeks into it, and still not greasy. I think a little bit of oil is starting to call my head home, but it's really minimal. Just the right amount to keep it from looking and feeling like tumbleweed.

SMELL The haircut offered me a rare chance to find out for myself if my hair smelled bad. I scooped up a fistful of hair and breathed it in. I thought it smelled fine. I might even go so far as to say it smelled nice. Very natural.

TEXTURE It seems to be softening a little bit. By no means do the words "silky", "smooth", "fine", "velvety", or "gentle" come to mind. But there is a noticeable difference. Small victories.

SPIRITS Feelin' good. Real good. I realize I'm only a third of the way into the six week experiment, but I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing. Of course, I also felt pretty good about that "Corky Romano" movie until the reviews came out, so it's really too early to tell. But I can say that those of you who were on suicide watch can stand down.

Next week: The Halfway Mark!

(This next bit for non-Brit. readers)

   For the batsman to be out LBW, the umpire has to believe that the ball hit the pad up to the roll of the batsman's pad, that the hit leg was in the line of the two sets of stumps, that the ball pitched between the stumps or on the off side (pitching on the leg side won't do), and that if the batsman had not got in the way of the ball, that the ball would have hit the stumps. It is, OF COURSE, very difficult for the umpire to give the batsman out if the bowler is a left-arm leg spinner (or one who bowls googlies). Thjat's because the angles are awkward. Again, if the batsman comes down the pitch to the pitch (different pitch, naturally) of the ball, the umpire is not going to give the batsman out, mostly because he becomes very unsure about the likelihood of the ball hitting the wicket. The umpire is the best person to decide if it was LBW as he is the only one directly in line, and with clear vision. He has also had to watch to see whether the bowler has bowled a no-ball as well, or first, which adds to the complications. Many a time a bowler has plonked hisd front foot over the crease,especially fiery Fred Truman, the first man to take 300 wickets in Tests which mightlook alittle laughablenow with two others having reached twice as many but in his day it was a tremendous achievement and reached without the benefit of any technology that can now show the true result where the umpire is, and might have been uncertain once upon a time. So it would be interesting to know how many wickets he didn't get because the umpire's doubt ledhimtogivenotoutwherethereplaymighthaveshownadifferentresultitisihardtosaydespiteallweghavetoday.

Dull? You want DULL??? This is excerpted from an RFC of February, 2006 dealing with IPv6 deployment:

The DNS Recursive Name Server option can be carried in any DHCPv6
Reply message, in response to either a Request or an Information
request message. Thus, the DNS Recursive Name Server option can be
used either when DHCPv6 is used for address assignment, or when
DHCPv6 is used only for other configuration information as stateless
DHCPv6.

   Stateless DHCPv6 can be deployed either by using DHCPv6 servers
running on general-purpose computers, or on router hardware. Several
router vendors currently implement stateless DHCPv6 servers.    Deploying stateless DHCPv6 in routers has the advantage that no
special hardware is required, and it should work well for networks
where DHCPv6 is needed for very straightforward configuration of
network devices.

   However, routers can also act as DHCPv6 relay agents. In this case, the DHCPv6 server need not be on the router; it can be on a general purpose computer. This has the potential to give the operator of the DHCPv6 server more flexibility in how the DHCPv6 server responds to individual clients that can easily be given different configuration information based on their identity, or for any other reason. Nothing precludes adding this flexibility to a router, but generally, in current practice, DHCP servers running on general-purpose hosts tend to have more configuration options than those that are embedded in routers.

Perhaps I'll next do stuff on subnet masking...BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

From 1984 (RFC 0909):

Data is passed from the application program to the LDP user
    process in the form of commands. In the case of an LDP server
    process, command responses originate in LDP itself. Below LDP is
    the transport protocol. The Reliable Data Protocol (RDP --
    RFC 908) is the recommended transport procotol. Data is passed
    across the LDP/RDP interface in the form of messages. (TCP may
    be used in place of RDP, but it will be less efficient and it
    will require more resources to implement.) An internet layer
    (IP) normally comes between RDP and the network layer, but RDP
    may exchange data packets directly with the network layer.

(For something somewhat less dull and unimaginative, you might try RFC 1149.)

I've JUST finished a book I started reading in Septemeber that is a mere 233 pages. I am afraid it has a fairly exciting title - Human Sacrifice, Militarism and Rulership: Materialization of State Ideology at the Feathered Serpent Pyramid, Teotihuacan" - but once that is out of the way, it really gets going. For example, it spends 11 pages deciding they used probably used a measure of round about 0.83m and here's an entralling section about a set of bodies:

Although Grave 13 was seriously disturbed, the looters left a larger amount or original fill than was left in Grave 12. Reconstruction of the bodies in Grave 13 indicates that their distribution may have been similar to that of the central grave (Fig 50; compare to Fig. 49). Indicated by its position, and its location independent of others, the complete skeleton of 13-F, recovered from the original fill, seems to have been the counterpart of 14-K in the central grave. Although the general position of 13-F differs from the position of 14-K in our categorization, both may have been tied in bundles that were extremely flexed. Half of individual 13-G, discovered north of 13-F in the original fill, many have been the counterpart of 14-H, as suggested by the position of its reconstructed extremities; and part of a leg of individual 13-H, found in the disturbed layer, also supports the similarity of these two graves, since it might have been the counterpart of individual 14-E of the central grave ....
