    Technically, I wouldn't call it a contest, just whoever can type faster.

    Something more creative next time?

    Yeh, next time please do something funny like record a video of yourself jumping on a kangarooball :-)

  • @Brad said:

    Of course! Thats actually why i called it a giveaway first ;)

    In all honesty, I kind of just wanted to see how the reaction to it would be. Next Sunday I'll defiantly throw in something more creative. If you have any suggestions drop me a PM.

  • @cassa said:

    reminds me of the south park episode on "bouncy calls" haha

  • The winners are @FtpIt_Radi @Kupol @cassa - Message me your VPS choice :)

    @Drehmini and @add_iT - I'll throw in a free 256MB/6GB SSD VPS for three months just for participating in the first contest. Message me as well for details on how to sign up.

    Also question 7 was "True". Where did anybody find something different on this?

    Most times if you search for "ipv6 launch date" you'll find 2008, but that was the 10th anniversary.

    Thanks for this free VPS! :D

  • RadiRadi Host Rep, Veteran

    Thanks for the VPS. Messaged.

  • @OnraHost said:

    RFC 2460 was published in 1998, but it was an ongoing effort that started in about 1994. Maybe that was the cause of confusion?
