Akamai probably has *many* more CDN nodes in the world than the number of gDNS and OpenDNS datacenters together, so just being distributed is not enough.

I think this is/was a common thing with CDMA (or whatever the non-GSM protocol is called exactly) telephones. They get the time from the network and don't/didn't bother storing it anywhere locally.

I have mine for only a week so I may have missed sometihng, but I definitely haven't noticed anything "Debianish" on the phone. Non-GNU libc, very odd userland (it's not GNU nor busybox), etc...

Also, don't forget to set the kernel flag that enables the leap-second code. It's quite likely that this was the cause, and the kernel won't know by itself that it should insert one. See adjtimex(2) for more information.
It's definitely possible that some program couldn't cope with time jumping back. Actually, it may be just as easy to just test this by manually stepping back in time.

Many customized router firmware images (think of OpenWRT and friends) support IPv6. I adapted mine to get that. It sets up a tunnel to SixXS and announces my IPv6
Not sure if anything out of the box can do this yet, especially the tunneling part.

Possibly that page really *was* useful, but the domain name expired. Lots of spammers on the nets like to snatch expired domain names and "monetize" (sic) them.
Getting Rid of Staff With High Access? 730
HikingStick writes "I've been in the tech field for over 15 years. After more than nine years with the same company, I've been asked to step in and establish an IT department for a regional manufacturing firm. I approached my company early, providing four weeks notice (including a week of pre-scheduled [and pre-approved] vacation time). I have a number of projects to complete, and had planned to document some of the obscure bits of knowledge I've gleaned over the past nine years for the benefit of my peers, so I figured that would give me plenty of time. That was on a Friday. The following Monday, word came down from above that all of my privileged access was to be removed — immediately. So, here I sit, stripped of power with weeks ahead of me. From discussions with my peers in other companies, I know that cutting off high-privilege users is common, but usually in conjunction with a severance offer (to keep their hands off the network during those final weeks, especially if there is any ill-will). Should I argue for restored access, highlight the fact that I am currently a human paperweight, request a severance package, or simply become the most prolific Slashdot poster over the next few weeks? Does your company have a policy/process for dealing with high-privilege users who give notice? What is it, and do you make exceptions?"

This result linked to the Google Labs project called Google Code Search.

Regexp search is included as well."
