Does the suit ever give you some technical task to do to test your execution or some other criteria (what if he actually wanted to see some code you've written)? What if the suit h…

"yet did not result in bringing other DNS services backup" Can you be more specific? Which other domain names did you try? Also, I believe some parts of the world were unaffected b…

That makes perfect sense. It's the fork+exec that makes it dangerous (e.g. in the CGI context). This is something I've been wondering about and you have just provided a jolt of cla…

Thanks for the this. In my opinion, there's too little written about passing fd's (use of dup2). It seems like a technique that is more useful than just as part of shell redirectio…

This really seems to make the most sense. It's just a name. An entry in a registry's zone file. It has nothing necessarily to do with your infrastructure (which does not need names…

Why is GoDaddy excluded from the requirement to provide port 43 whois service? Are they special? To my knowledge you can only get whois information on GoDaddy domain names from the…

I love the "Who's online" section at the bottom of the "obscure" networking forum. About 5 members and over 11,000 guests. It doesn't seem very "obscure" at the moment. It's too ba…
