That's annoying - a dioxide isn't O squared. The number should be subscript.

Look closer

It is correctly superscript, can you spot the other not-so-glaring error omitted? (clue: Valency of oxide)

[Evangelion]

Yes, O2 should be DIoxide.

Also, someone can't spell Sulphide.

Alas, the Septics got their way with the internationally accepted spelling for sulphur, no doubt in retaliation for not getting 'aluminum' approved as standard. Who discovered the bloody stuff in the first place, eh?

You may want to do a little research there - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium#Etymology (or a more authoritative source of your choice).

British chemist Humphry Davy (who is the first namer of it, but didn't discover it as it had been known for centuries) originally proposed the name Aluminum (as the Americans spell it) and but was overruled by the International community and the spelling Aluminium that we know came afterwards.

Yes but Davy was from Cornwall and could probably barely speak English anyway.

His first one is his WAN IP. The second "local" one is the loopback address, similar to "localhost". The last one, his "physical" one, is his MAC address.

If yoh arent part of the solution, you are part of the precipitate.

In the same way that PistonHeads is similar to PH.

I didn't pay attention and saw it as a LAN address ( 172.x.x.x/24 ) didn't realise it was a 173 so therefore a WAN address

[Evangelion]

Clockwork Cupcake is probably right, I haven't understood a single word anybody's said for about the last page and a half.

Yes, a simple mistake to make.

Ah, it's O 2-. That makes a bit more sense. Although getting N 3+ is going to be a bd of a job.

Dissecting further, and if you can't do it here, where can you, the ratio of the ions are wrong too. Cs is in Group 1, so the oxide will be Cs2O.

You need a few more Caesia.

Well, that's that subject well and truly murdered to death!

Shame I'm not geeky enough to appreciate the humour inherent in the joke.

Never mind all that, the MAC address isn't allocated to any known vendor.
