Who submitted the feature?
Oh my, it must be a typo in Barry's script. Micko will never do that. We know how he feels about Google.

#111110 ping 64.233.169.103 address no longer responding. 01micko: use 8.8.8.8
Look at the date... 111110.... that was for getting flashplayer which was removed with the advent of getflash (shinobar) early in 2012. For the record, 64.233.169.103 is (was? maybe still is) google too. I simply supplied Barry with a working address rather than a broken one.

It's part of Barry's SNS, which up until November 11, 2013 I had no control over. That script is next on the chopping block. Rome wasn't built in a day and I will remind you that there has been NO official release from woof-CE as yet.

It gets destroyed. So I don't. Lets stick to
current facts. If you want to dredge up the past be sure to get your research correct.

Yeah? So, how does trisquel do it? To test for an outside connection a program must make some sort of call to the outside. Sure, you can ping the name server but what if it's connection is down? Since you are here to enlighten us please show us how it's done. I don't think I have used
any OS where there is not some uninitiated (by me) call to outside.
* Clarification. If using ppp to connect the name server
is outside.How do we stop that?

It is. It's you who keep whining with unsubstantiated "evidence".
