If your provider's DNS server is unreliable, perhaps try a work around |
| 12 |
and use OpenDNS? Their nameservers are at 208.67.222.222 and |
| 13 |
208.67.220.220. You have to hardcode that into resolv.conf, and run |
| 14 |
dhcpcd with '-C resolv.conf'. |

Hannelore: Sure thing, but I can only eat slices that have an even |
| 20 |
number of toppings on them. |
| 21 |
Marten: Couldn't you just, like, put an extra piece of pepperoni on an |
| 22 |
odd-toppinged slice and even it out that way? |
| 23 |
Pintsize: Couldn't you ALSO take a topping off, if it was an odd number? |
| 24 |
Winslow: Or you could multiply any odd-numbered slice by any |
| 25 |
even-numbered slice! Math is delicious! |
