[REQUEST] Review "Mr. Ping"
f0dder:
Pinging localhost should always work, whether you have a network adapter installed or not - just saying :)

Not necessarily. If you do not have a network adapter installed, or if it is damaged significantly, the localhost address will not reply. While it is highly unlikely that this would be the case (in all my years of experience, i've only encountered one instance where i could not ping the localhost due to a damaged NIC), i felt it necessary, since it is proper trouble shooting.
