Also, to establish the TCP connection you need an extra roundtrip compared to the UDP use case. Given that in the case of no answer in the cache the recursive name server may need to ask several authoritative name servers - this can add si

Why not give an argument to the kernel to create the new devices as "fooX" (foo being a supplied parameter) - and let udev userland deal with the renaming to "ethY" as it pleases ? While this novelty certainly may appeal to the folks who ar

I think the delay is the seek time of your disk the first time it loads perl; and the python was already cached. (OT: the Lua startup time is half of Perl's)

I think it may be worth mentioning that an excessively passionate romance with macros may backfire at debugging time. A crash in a code that is created by a macro expanded into a several thousand characters line is quite not easy to explore

6rd is an improvisation on the motive of 6to4 and ISATAP: you have IPv4 prefix which you use as a carrier for the tunneled traffic, the synthesized IPv6 addresses have a part within them that allows to know which IPv4 within your domain to

By the way - thinking of all this - why would not you turn this scraper into a free advertisement for you ? If you can detect when it crawls your site, just insert randomly the backlinks to your site into the content you give out to them. T

Triggers are very powerful indeed. I'm pretty happy to see this list - since I nailed probably 6-7 out of them while hacking the smoking habit out of myself last year. Coincidentally I've written this up earlier today for one of my friends

To generate the unique string, do SHA1(content + TheirIP + unique secret). The chance of collision is practically zero. Also, you can then conclusively prove that it was you who created this unique string - which may come in handy. (Talki

Thanks a lot! My thinking was that it would be the same as now we rely on e.g. jquery website that the code is working as advertized. The key in my case is that the code is available in the form ready for inspection - so that rather just tr

The second use case makes me a bit nervous. Why: many services that require an email confirmation from you typically allow to do the password reset via the same email address. So, unless the user is signing up for a throwaway service, they
