A wildcard in 2007 could win over Jay Cutler / Ronnie Coleman.

We will prolly see a Wildcard next year.

And how do you get to be a wildcard?
Or is it simply somebody who is brand new (new Pro) and is so good that everything is possible?

ok.

.well wild cards bit values are 32 bits placed along side IP network addresses to restric traffic (Ips and networks) inbound or outbound from your local network.(use the NAND gate i think)

at layer 3 the open standard protocol OSPF uses wild cards to advertise network and control which specific ranges of addresses within a network are advertised.

a wild card in short is basically an inverse of a subnetmask.

to get a wildcard (and most tekkies dont know this trick!) simply substract the subnetmask from 255.255.255.255 or /32

the end!

ya really want me to go into details..i'll have ta PM ya cause it'll be pages worth of typing..

....somebody not expected to win. not really a candidate for the front.
in bbing, they show up in awesome size/shape and blow everyone else out of the water. kind of like a 'darkhorse.'
