I'm puzzled about DNS glue records in the modern world

I recently wound up reading a message about upcomingbehavior changes to the .com/.net/.edu nameservers ( via DawnKeenan ). The shortsummary of that message is that as of March 1st, those nameserverswill mostly stop returning information about out of zone gluerecords .

起舞弄清影,何似在人間!

窗簾被微風吹起,白紗底下漏出了一道光。我蜷縮在被窩裏,瞇眼看白紗飛舞時泛起的光影。我撥開臉頰上的幾根長髮,伸手去抓床邊的鬧鐘。一看,十時十五分,oh please……難道不能讓我睡至中午才醒來嗎?這可是難得的星期

迷和信

繼幾個月前神棍騙少女性交的案件後,香港昨天又有類似的報導:一中年女人為某「法師」所惑,多次與他性交以「增陽氣」,並乖乖奉上150萬港元。這次的案情似乎更「精彩」,因為涉及貪財和魔術表演。

A theory about Apple's new iPad

Like a lot of other people, I'm not very interested in the iPadmyself for all of the obvious reasons for an open source personwho likes doing random things to his computers (see Tim Bray for arepresentative example). But I have a theory about what Appleis up to here, and it goes like this:

<她的回憶>

她追憶自己的成長,
如一隻信鴿追尋回歸的路。
她記起第一次上學,
老師外衣的顏色、
搖搖板、和媽媽的背影。
她記起一支殘舊的木結他,

她穿著起舞,
卻忘了如何踏步。她記起

Suppose, as a not entirely hypothetical example ,that you are signing some sort of web request with a bunch of (URL)parameters. In order to deal


iPad之唔係食咗超級Steroid後嘅iPod Touch?

「iPad? 點解呢個名咁似M巾?」

哈哈,以上是我老婆今早聽見這個名時的第一個反應。

我第一個反應,反而係:嘩,正呀,好似成部iPod Touch變咗Incredible Hulk(變型俠醫)咁呀,勁呀!
