Most 404 accesses are from people probing a server for common URL's belonging to vulnerable web applications. Thus my 404 page is a honeypot, and too many 404 accesses in a short period results in an automatic IP ban.
Include a directory "visiting-this-will-ban-you" in your robots.txt that IP bans whomever visits it.
Wish he could possibly record a video response for all the HTTP status codes. Especially interested in 417 Expectation Failed and 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons

Most manuals of style say that "Sanders's" is most correct, but will allow for "Sanders'". I strongly prefer the former. It's logical if you think of it: s' is always for plural nouns that end in S, 's is always for singular. "The cats' milk" vs "James's hand." This way also matches pronunciation. It gets tricky to keep straight when you have plural nouns that don't end in S. I know "Men's clothes" is correct. But I'…
That's not the problem. The problem is that his name is Sanders, not Sander.

"The fish's pond"? "The fishes' pond"? That's a pond belonging to a single fish ("The fish's pond") versus one belonging to multiple fish ("The fishes' pond"). You're completely right!

Man, it's no wonder that people like me two aren't speaking English natively get confused about that whole *'s thing.

If someone is trying to get to admin.php, sure, ban them. Or if they are not following robots.txt. But sitemaps are not reliable enough sometimes and not all crawlers are meanies.
Isn't it Bernie Sanders', not *Bernie Sander's? (Edit: or Sanders's, indeed. That's what I'd usually write.)

Heck when MSFT redesigned technet/MSDN half of the links were dead allot of the Google results for legacy products will still lead you to a 404 page on technet...
I don't follow politics at all, but the more I read and hear about Bernie Sanders the more I like him. I'm sure we've got a few political experts on Hacker News so I'd love to hear if you guys think he actually has any chance of winning the presidency.
At this phase in the run, the punditariat is greatly, greatly more confident than the facts justify. I don't mean that specific to this year... I mean generically at this phase of the campaign. If the punditariat was correct at this phase, Hillary Clinton would not currently be able to run, because she'd be finishing out her second term, having defeated Rudy Guiliani in the 2008 campaign by a small but significant ma…
Up until a few weeks ago there were too many Republican candidates to keep track, no perceived competition for Clinton, plus Clinton was not talking to the media.
Trump is a front runner because there are too many Republicans so none of them stand out. Democrats have been sitting out the primaries because they don't want to be punished by Clinton and the rest of the establishment.
Trump and Sanders make for interesting stories, and they will live on that for some time.

I wonder if the Jindal supporters realize that joke's on them?
I honestly can't decide if it's plain tone-deaf or cleverly self-deprecating.
