The diagnostic information is really two things: (1) whether you get the packet back to begin with and (2) where it comes from and the ICMP state, which, yeah, is stuff that's part of IP anyway. The point was that the…
No, but it's actually worse than that. Not only is it contingent on your intermediaries actually responding to your packet with the diagnostic information you want, it assumes that the diagnostic response will also be…
"Thy" meant "your". Close enough!
Be sure to read the documentation though -- at the very least, keep in mind that they do not honor query strings, so any dynamic (I.e. behind a script) content you may want cached, you may have to do a little webserver…
> Yeah, because the constant feuds within the Linux community, the failure to settle on a common desktop platform, the crowd of "I-want-to-write-yet-another-irc-client" devs, and the utter lack of appreciation for…
"it's often a win if you stop fallaciously calculating every illegitimate copy as a loss of the sticker price." This really depends on how you define loss. In a standard legitimate sale of a product, there is a…
Possibly, but it strikes me as unfortunate that someone would have to force ads on their users just to be compensated for their work developing an application.
My phone and Nook Color are both running CyanogenMod 7, which essentially amounts to stock Android 2.3.3/2.3.4 with tweaks. I do not think they could look more different from iOS. Where is this "resemblance" theory…

The extra one that should be mentioned (but only for used Macs, I suppose) is "what was the latest Mac Apple dropped support for in OS X, and how much newer is the Mac you're looking at?" I hear with Lion they burned…
You keep saying "without using a vm/jit" like it's something Apple did, but in reality, Rosetta is a JIT and not every Mac OS X binary for PPC was a Universal one (which, incidentally, caused a few problems when…
(I forgot to mention also that manufacturers and carriers also seem to have a lot to do with the overall interface -- Samsung's stock Android for the Captivate, for example, does mirror iOS quite a bit, while HTC Sense…

Sometimes OSes are deemed obsolete for whatever reason, and browsers -- all of them! -- simply stop developing for those OSes. This means that you're at least shelling out the cost for a new OS, which can be (1) painful…
And in general, it's not. But certain platforms (e.g. OS X on PowerPC) have been artificially restricted to the point where no new browsers are being made for them, so the latest version you can get to on them is…
