> There's that famous quote "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things.", and, sure, it's a bit ironical, but there's some truth in there.

The joke form of this quote goes along the lines of:

  There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache 
  invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.

:-D

I rather like the snark of:

Just remembered another one: there are 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who don't. :)

Which leads to

> I don't see what's so hard about DNS, it's just cache invalidation and naming things.

[dcminter]

Oh that's gooood. Got a cite or is it yours?

... and avoiding off-by-one errors.

There are three hard problems in Computer Science:

1) Cache invalidation

2) Naming th3) Concurings

4) Off-by-one errors
