    nah, it's not a good idea.

    If I ping www.cnnn.com, I want to get the appropriate ping response.

    and how often will bind work? DNS servers cache site, so there is moon.com and noon.com, noon.com falls off for a day or something and now all noon.com requests go to moon.com, noon.com comes back online, how long will the noon.com requests keep going to moon.com? HRM, cnn.com is popular, some crazy haxors get cnnn.com, and DDOS cnn.com and everything on its network out of this world, requests for cnn.com now start going to cnnn.com.

    I don't think the solution should be in bind. If I do a telnet host123 to see if it exists, I don't want to connect to host231 cuz bind thought that's what i wanted.

  4. Re:Another article... on Tzero Electric Car: 0-60 in 3.7 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Not to put down your post, but that article is dated 2000 when the Tzero did 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds, it now does it in 3.7, and let me tell you, that is mighty impressive to drop .4 seconds in 0-60, that must be at least 1 second drop in the quarter mile, so I am sure the horsepower has increased by 50-75... they never mentioned that in the old article, I wonder if they new article mentions any horsepower dynos.

  5. Re:Answered My Own Question.. on ESR to Shred SCO Claims? · · Score: 1

  6. a better algorithm is ... on ESR to Shred SCO Claims? · · Score: 1

    his algorithm is really cheap...

    comparing object code will not work if one line of code is there as the check sum will be different.
    a lot of codes don't port directly, so when stolen perhaps a few lines are added or deleted. if i was the author of this tool (note, i have no idea how it works besides checksums) i will look at the logic of code.

    for example,
    if statement will the value 1
    variables have 2
    logical operators will have their own numbers
    say, && = 4
    comparasion operators will have their etc...
    == = 6
    ~ = 7
    ( = 8
    numbers = 9
    & = 10

    this code
    if (a && b) & ~0xf000 will yeild
    1,8,2,4,8,10,9

    now we can pass those numbers to f()our result will be Z, Z defines the logic for that code
    the next logic we can call Z1, Z2 ... Zn

    now if the offending code has
    if (foobar && feh) & ~0xffff it will likewise yield
    1,8,2,4,8,10,9
    we get Y, and the next line Y1, Y2 ... Yn
    We can now then compare logics and compare how often they match.
    So if Z0 matches Y3, we check
    if Z1 matches Y4
    and if Z2 matches Y5

    by using this technique we can find logics that match, even if someone inserts 5 lines without our code, we do not have to worry about the checksums not matching or matching object codes.

    basically we are matching by logic and if we notice 20 consecutive matching logics or whatever the threshold we set, we can yeild a positive result.

    I just made this algorithm on the spot, perhaps someone has already done it, perhaps note. :D the beauty of this is that we can even use this algorithm to compare DIFFERENT languages, for example, C code that has been ported to Java or Python.

    Wooops, it's now left for someone to implement and attempt to patent it, then profit! :D
