Sane for Whom?

Well APIPA is sane to people for whom "networking" stands for either being on Social Networking sites or playing games on two or more computers "together" 
MS people implemented APIPA so that people can just connect two machines without having to know what an IP is and how to configure it. You just need to know which cable goes where!
It's not a good idea for a server-client environment and in noway should be a substitute for DHCP. I never saw anything like that in UNIX/Linux world and would never like to see it. Everything has its own place.

predict-g1yyh
PREDICT-G1YYH(1) General Commands Manual PREDICT-G1YYH(1) NAME
predict-g1yyh - satellite tracking program DESCRIPTION
The predict-g1yyh program is a variant on the predict satellite tracking program that includes patches from John Heaton, G1YYH, that add new functionality. This man page documents only the features that differ between predict and predict-g1yyh. See the predict man page for information on the features of the program that are not described here! The user may step forwards/backwards through the satellites in the Single-Sat display using the '+' and '-' keys, and may remove blank entries from the Selector page. MultiSat has been reformatted to display upcoming passes below the satellites in view. Using the 'i' and 'k' keys you can toggle between distances in Imperial or Kilometres. Using the 'l' and 'm' keys you can toggle between displaying the normal latitude/longitude or Maiden- head locators for the sub-satellite location. The SingleSat display allows use of the arrow keys to change the frequency up/down and to move to the next/previous satellite using left/right arrows. A new method of selecting satellites is implemented. Instead of pressing a character next to a satellite name, a scrolling menu is pro- vided. This means that the program is now capable of handling a much larget list of satellites, currently a maximum of 250. Finally, the height of the terminal window containing predict can be increased dynamically if you want to display more information than will fit on an 80x24 terminal window! SEE ALSO
