Stijn - not all private addys are in that set of subnets - there are also 10.0.0.0/8s, 172.16.*, etc. There are also reserved blocks and "hidden" things - for example, there's this great server for p0rn at 127.0.0.1 - visit it some time! Also, there are ranges reserved for other things, like 44.0.0.0/8 is all reserved as a HAM to IP gateway for packet radio data or email.
