Like in DOS blocking? I'd expect that too. But this doesn't sound like the kind of thing rasz_pl would object to?

You can already do this with a timing attack. Use js to add a script tag with http://facebook.com/js/somefakefile.js to the page, and time how long it takes to load. If it's in cache it will be much faster.

StartSSL's interface is a huge pain. Let's Encrypt is hoping to offer things like modules for Apache and Nginx that make them take care of acquiring certs automatically, though we'll see.

Unfortunately "subtle" isn't really an option when working with standard terminal colors. There are only eight colors, and on most terminals it would be fair to describe all of them as "garish". A gutter symbol wou
