I believe that most versions of PING will do a reverse DNS lookup by default -- first they'll ask the DNS server for the address to match the name, then they'll ask the DNS server for the name to match the address.
I can't say as much for telnet -- many don't report any host name at all. I wouldn't be suprised if many also did reverse DNS lookups, or reported CNAMEs, or other similar setups.
I've searched nearly every slashdot post, and you are the only person who said "resolver." And, you're only modded a "2", while the guy who responded incorrectly got a "4".
Slashdot is like Saturday Night Live, I guess. It sucks, it always sucks, and it will always suck forever. But everyone remembers a time when it didn't suck as hard as it does right now.
No. You're confusing the "resolver library" code used by the program, and "resolving name servers" network services. He's describing the built in search feature that many resolver libraries use, you're describing the part of the network protocol that library uses to communicate with the network service.
It's worth asking if Mozilla and Firefox use the "default" resolver of the host operating system, or if the developers took the "path of greatest suprise" by including one of their own.
The only two "common" ways that I'm aware of to submit a form as a POST action are to use a submit button or to fire the submit the form in a scripted event.
If you know of a way to submit a POST action from a text link without using javascript, please share it with the rest of us.
Unfortunately, I'm not aware of anything in the HTML spec that allows the page designer to attach a POST action to anything other than a submit button. It's not particularly difficult to add a POST action to a JavaScript event handler, but I'm that presents problems of its own.
Yes, it really is a hassle. There are a million things about windows that you've simply grown to accept.
In some ways, Windows is better than Linux. Mac OS X may (perhaps) be better yet. But in simple, fundemental ways, using a computer really, really, *really* sucks.
I understand what you're saying, but keep in mind the Opensource mantra: there are free (OSS) alternatives for everything, and they're just about as good.
That's not the Open Source or Free Software "mantra." That's the mantra of an idiot who can't describe the problems he's having and is unable to measure the value of the solutions.
The goal of Free Software is to have Good Free Software. The goal is not to score points, or gain market share, or beat Microsoft, or all these other things you describe, using techniques that make you sound like you're managing a school board election.
The goal is Good Free Software. That is all.
I can't concede your argument that Bruce Perens publically admonishing Linus is bad because it hurts Linux in its competition against other operating system, because Linux is not in competition with other operating systems. Other systems don't have to fail for linux to help the Free Software movement reach its goal. In fact, other systems are completely irrellevant to goal.
Now, I do believe that Bruce Perens publically admonishing Linus about management problems may be antithetical to the goal of Good Free Software. But that wasn't your argument.
Slashdot Mirror
Hemos has the option of sending the author an email to clarify the meaning. It's not like this was a time-sensitive news flash or anything.

Last time I called Kinkos for something like this, they qouted me 70 cents a page. It was a 550 page document, so we're talking close to $400.
I'm sorry, but what is quite easy and common?

CommanderTaco is always making tweaks to the message generation algorithm (though his posts, too, are mostly generated by code).
You were believable until you claimed that Cmdr Taco could write code.
When it was discovered how profitable legal gambling is, then the guys with the REAL muscle moved in.
Exactly. Gambling is about as mafia connected as porn now.
That command has nothing to do with unix. It's a feature of the shell, not the OS.
It worked on bash on VMS systems, it works on bash on Win 95/98 systems, and it works on bash in Win NT/2000/XP systems.
I'll grant that people who use emacs generally never learn it well enough to know that they're not experts in emacs.
Here's a page describing the type of Subpoena being used by the RIAA:

What possible use would a private bidder have for this magazine?
Why is some idiot private bidder offering nearly $500 for a mutilated, stolen magazine?
hundereds of man hours into open-source projects
More like hundreds or thousands (or perhaps hundreds of thousands) of man years.
IBM's contribution to open source isn't just a few weeks work from one dedicated developer.

Fix the failures before you repeat your test.
Thanks to my friends and relatives with dial ups and DSL who put up with me and my requests to reboot their machine daily!
If you're rebooting client machines to check DNS records, then I'm forced to view your entire study with caution.
Actually, neither Software Design/Engineering or Computer Science involves writing any code at all. Code is writter by Programmers.
When did a 486 become "very old" hardware? I figured this was about old VAXen or HP-Apollo or AT&T Unix PCs. Not about a 486 sx from the mid 90's.

You're infected with adware. I've never had a popup from slashdot.
That's a nice summary, but it's not related to the article in any way, shape, or form.
Here's another groklaw article explaining what this one is about.
Notice that what is being done is that the total revenue per subscriber is being divided by the profit ratio. This makes no sense.
Why would a wookie, an eight foot tall wookie, want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall ewoks? That does not make sense!
This should be modded +5 funny, not +4 informative.
