Reverse DNS and IRC

[JoeyJoeJo]

I got to George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. In our dorms, we have no reverse dns, and I need to get on IRC. Is this possible?

Yeah, I have no reverse DNS here in the UK, but it's cool. You can get onto IRC no problem, although you will get a few idiots statting you for your logon name and IP.

I changed my logon name on this machine to "f***you" and they weren't too pleased.

Okay, well at least it's possible. What did you do to get on Atheist?

BTW. isn't Satanic Atheist and oxymoron? I mean, isn't a belief in Satan a belief in God, thus not being Atheist?

Sorry for the theology/philosophy and my bad spelling.

Oh christ.

This has been debated everywhere on these forums, and yes, it is an oxymoron. That's the joke. It's fantastic for winding people up in IRC forums, though. You should've seen some of the comments I've gotten from religious forums. I seriously doubt some of their "Christian" virtues...

Let's keep on topic, folks... MMMkay?

I had a problem with this once, and I had to get some kind of identd daemon. That way, the IRC server can ask the client "who" it is-- of course, there are daemons you can install that don't tell the truth...
