  1. Re:What about standards? on Linux/Mac/Windows File Name Friction · · Score: 1

    Although the POSIX "portable filename character set" (3.276) only includes alphanumerics, period, underscore, and hyphen, the POSIX definition of "filename" (3.169) includes "the set of all character values excluding the slash character and the null byte. The filenames dot and dot-dot have special meaning."

  9. Re:I'd would say... on Verisign Sues ICANN Over SiteFinder · · Score: 1

    Not just any registrar can do this. The only reason that VeriSign has the ability (not the right) to do this is because they actually operate the .com TLD.

    No, but Verisign does operate the A root server, which gets replicated to all the other root servers.

  19. Re:Unacountable bits? on The Wireless City · · Score: 1

    My school does something similar that would probably work better in this case because no special software is needed. The first time you attempt to connect to the network, all port 80 traffic is redirected to one of their servers and all other traffic is blocked. When a user opens their browser, they are informed of the network policy and have to enter their username and password. Then the router allows their traffic to go through. If only there were some kind of ID that were unique to everyone that they could use for this...
