Domino bug reported in 5.0.10 -- 2 years ago, still active in version 7
By Andrew Pollack on 10/06/2005 at 10:53 PM EDTI just lost the opportunity to give someone a trial version of my new software -- hopefully they'll try again tomorrow. Why? Because a two year (and three major revision) long bug hasn't been addressed in the Domino code. I can't print the technote from the KB due to copyright, but I can link to it on IBM's site. I can link to it though. Here's a link.
This is a really hard bug to figure out, because its totally inconsistent. You see a 404 error, reload the page with fixed case and it runs. Try it with broken case and it works now even if you didn't change anything!
Obviously, this is because the CACHE is not case sensitive, but the lookup routine is. Once its in the cache, the page is fine until time runs out and the page drops from the cache again and the lookup routine has to get called.
This is stupid behavior.
I'm not showing you this, I'm telling your browser to go get it from IBM and stick it in the window for youhttp://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=0&q1=1099541&uid=swg21099541&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=

The truth is, I haven't had much to say that was worthy of more than a basic social media post -- until today. For my current work, I was assigned a new laptop. It's a real powerhouse machine with 14 processor cores and 64 gigs of ram. It should be perfect for running my development environment in a virtual machine, but it wasn't. VirtualBox was barely starting, and no matter how many features I turned off, it could ......

I want a military prepared to help us, not just hurt other people. As an American I expect that with the ridiculous funding of our military might, we are prepared for damn near everything.

This is not quite a scam because it's technically legal, but it's run very much like a scam. This company works with a few "clients" that have vast repositories of copyrighted images. The trolls do a reverse web search on those images looking for hits. When they find one on a site that looks like someone they can scare, they work it like ......
