9/25    What's a nslookup equivalent to look up "set type=all"? I don't
        have nslookup anymore.
        \_ I think nslookup is deprecated and you're supposed to be using
           dig and host now.  Do you want the equiv 'host' acommand?
           \_ is it host -av <host>?

5/23    I'm at a friends house and the Internet is dog slow. But when checking
        speedtest or nitro.ucsc, it shows I'm getting 2.7Mbps. Latency is <30ms
        Any ideas why it is so slow or ways to check this?
        \_ Hmm, I added 4.2.2.2 as a DNS server and that seemed to fix it.

9/7     Dear Linux DNS experts, how do you find out if a domain has
        published SPF records? Is there a magic command like hostname,
        nslookup, etc that does this? I'm a UNIX noob. Thanks!

7/9     djb vindicated.  bind 8 sucks.  the Secret Cabal That Runs The
        Internet fixed bind 9.  I will now run qmail and daemontools
        and djbdns exclusively.
        \- i installed djbdns on a machine years ago, and the machine was
           never quite the same after that.
           \_ Preach on, brother!

12/22   Does anyone know if there's a system call to test if a port is
        availible without actually attempting to bind to it?  Such a call
        would be really useful for me.
        \_ You could try to connect to it.
           \_ You could also parse the output of "netstat -an" to see if
              there's anything listening on the port.  Are you sure this

11/10   perl question: I want to bind the result of a pattern match on one
        variable to another variable.  I constantly find myself doing something
        like:
                $myvar1 = $long_string;
                $myvar1 =~ s/.*(regex.*)/$1/g;
        and it seems silly to do an assignment followed by a modification.

10/31   A friend of mine said he's loving Microsoft again because Bill G
        is starting to donate all of his money to charity. He's boycotting
        Google, Yahoo, and other mega companies because they're too big and
        too power and thinks they're all becoming the old Microsoft, whereas
        Microsoft has recently done a lot of good things like investing in
        education and charity. He just paid for a copy of Microsoft Windows
