Most of you out there at least tried it once or twice. Even if the rules were horribly cumbersome and difficult to understand (for an 11 year old, anyway). You rolled up 100 times more characters than you ever finished campaigns with, because you either had a DM that took great pleasure in killing you in the most demeaning way possible, or you simply never had the requisite 400 hours to finish a campaign in the first place. If anyone hasn't, I pity you. You'll never appreciate what it's like to be "the wondrous wizard of Latin!" or even the "dervish of declension and a conjurer of conjugation, with a million hit points and maximum charisma." On an off note, Karma can have a religious connotation to it. Charisma is a bit more non-denominational.....

It seems like you're saying that if I pass a certain command to a particular interpreter coded in a way as to misinterpret its input, it will send a DNS request containing an IP address as a hostname instead of just going to the IP. I find it difficult to believe that 7% of the DNS queries would have done this. It seems that it would have been much easier to use the DNS system and the various client DNS resolver processes as they were designed (ah, sacrilege!) to perform the queries (if necessary) as they should. But such is the state of coding these days.
I've read through every comment on this page, hoping someone could explain this to me, but alas, I guess I'll just ask. How does a query containing a valid IP address ever get to a root server? It just seems to me that anything with an IP would bypass DNS altogether. Thanks!
I haven't had the privilege of seeing the target of the link in the main article, but if your link is for real, I can't imagine a whole lot beating that into the dirt.
Why isn't HE on the front page???
How sad is this?
1. The site can't withstand a minimal/.ing.
2. We're here on a Friday night bitching about it.
And I've been pretty good about cramming my available hardware into the cases they'll fit....
Well, let's take it a ridiculous step further. Let's say I list a time machine as one of my ideas when signing on with Company A. If this company then develops one without my help, can I sue them for actually making something tangible?
Not central to the plot??? The whole point of him getting a 'borrowed ladder' is to become an astronaut (or whatever they called it) to go on one of the missions!
..that they devote part of their site to citing (sorry) US Code to justify the validity of their claims?
Someone should spy on their families to see if their kids swing sideways...

I didn't think about it that way. Thanks for explaining!
