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 has some preferences on the technical side, sort of like how

"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 by the outage. I would guess a large majority of GoDaddy cust

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 clarity. Many thanks, again.

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 redirection. Safer than popen()?

Ain't gonna happen. Besides, it wouldn't really matter. The data is mirrored everywhere. And anyone can keep a copy on hand for such emergencies. A very large portion of GoDaddy's data is pure garbage anyway: it points to a single IP for

Is there a typo: s/genuinely/not geniuinely I guess what you're explaining is the process that happens as the kernel reserves fd's? And when you start your program there isn't necessarily any guarantee that a particular fd will be availabl

I subscribe to the Church of Less Than 40 Character Lines, for no other reason than it's easier to read. Doesn't matter if it's code, poetry or prose. My eyes never need to drift to the right side of the page/screen. Everything is justifi

In other news, IP addresses are still working. ;) So what can we conclude from this incident? GoDaddy's registrar service GoDaddy's authoritative DNS service GoDaddy's hosting service GoDaddy SSL certificates etc. They are all different ser

It's what's on the inside that counts.

Why is this? Can you explain it?

It would be fun to hear those calls from PR people. Blogs are a PR man's worst nightmare come true. As useful as these products are, they also suck in so many ways. Such is the nature of most computers. Cheap to manufacture, limited lifet

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 to function; even email can work without domain 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 their website. Why only HTTP whois? Are they front-running?

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 bad PT Barnum is not alive today to see the thundering herds
