Designing a usable DNS Blocklist result format

It's relatively common for DNS blocklists to want to encode a certainamount of information in their results, ranging from the source of theinformation to how reliable they consider the results. For sensiblereasons, DNS blocklists have to encode this information in the IPaddress or addresses that they return.

As it turns out, there is a useful way and a not so useful way to encodethis information, because of the limitations of mailer support for DNSBLlookups. Most mailers can ask only two questions: 'is this


Reading

Should doctors or medical students read more literature? No, I am not referring to medical literature published in the New England Journal of Medicine here, but literacy reading in the area of humanities.

His tale helps shed light on the mess of a doctor's life immersed in a universe of Latin and Greek names (running through the

  • 新的 CG 和特效
  • 6.1 音效

  • 傀儡師的配音

少爺仔@search engine

少爺仔一個屈尾十成為美國大學博士生,我無限期待他有朝一日名成利就帶契我。少爺仔是我的電腦顧問歷數年,雖然我不明白他為什麼要給我裝英文WINDOW,但每問問題,他總是可以給我簡單清晰的答案。

文學時刻


上個周未在 邊度有書 買了 印刻的余光中專號
余光中 是令我一度沉迷的作家
我讀大學的年代澳門難以買到他的文集
我經常在大學圖書館反覆讀他的書
後來索性影印了 望鄉的牧神 逍遙遊 聽聽那冷雨 天狼星 等書

很奇怪
我喜歡余光

錯誤

周日無聊,上網看了一晚新聞和時事討論區,從種種社會事件及人們對事情的討論中,想到一些有趣的問題:

問題一:澳門人是否能坦然接受他人的批評,哪怕是善意的批評?

問題二:批評者如何可以令被批評者口服心服,被批

周一床上的小玲

我在下午3時37分睡醒。

check過Gmail看過留言,然後想寫一篇日誌。

正在上班的你們,看到我有糧出但不用工作還去旅行,是否很想打人﹖

但其實我很悶。

人人都去了上班,沒上班的在趕功課。

只有我,在想到哪裡吃下午茶餐好。

Mirrored system disks should be trivial to set up

I have a simple request for people putting together installers formodern systems, especially systems generally aimed at servers: it shouldbe dirt simple to do an install with mirrored system disks .

With most modern servers having two drive bays (often hotswap ones) anddisk space being so cheap, going to mirrored system disks make a lotof sense. But most people won't move to this configuration until it issomewhere between easy and trivial to set up, much like many people didnot move to LVM-based system
