It just means "recursive", but it is (mis)spelt with an 'x' to associate more with Linux/Unix.
How is the word "rexursive" pronounced?
The same as "recursive".
Where does the name "rexursive" come from?
Originally a typo, it comes from recursive function calls in C programming
language. It is a technique that allows a function to call itself, thus
eliminating the need for repetitive code, which kind of makes things elegant.
At the same time the whole thing can blow in the author's face if the code is
not all that perfect. :-)
Is the word "rexursive" a trademark?
Yes. On 06 Dec 2002, the trademark has been registered by IP Australia.
Obviously, it belongs to me ;-)
When I send e-mail to domains hosted on your mail server(s), my e-mail keeps coming back rejected. Why?
There are many explanations for rejected e-mail. The most common are:
the user you are trying to reach doesn't exist
you are sending attachments in proprietary formats such as Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint, but the recipient decided not to accept them
your mail server is using an invalid fully-qualified domain name in the HELO/EHLO command of the SMTP protocol, which is an error according to RFC 2821, sections "3.6 Domains", "4.1.1.1 Extended HELLO (EHLO) or HELLO (HELO)" and "4.1.3 Address Literals"; read it and if you still think I'm wrong, let me know; if you don't know what I'm talking about, speak to your system administrator about this one
you are sending an e-mail from a domain that has their SPF records published, but the originating server doesn't match what SPF claims as valid
you or your mail server are on spammers list - fill in the enquiry form and ask to be removed if you think this is in error
The actual error message in the rejection e-mail will help you identify one of
the above. If you cannot find a match, use the enquiry form to tell me
about it. There is always a possibility I have a broken mail server.
I'm receiving e-mails from your e-mail address that contain viruses
that affect Windows systems. Why?
Most likely someone else is forging the outgoing e-mail address. SPF should
help with some of those.
The other possibility is that my mail server is bouncing e-mails that contain
such attachments and you are receiving those bounced e-mails.
Which browsers should work with the site?
Here is the list of just some:
Firefox 3.5 or better
Internet Explorer 8 or better
Safari 4 or better
Why the above browsers?
They support the technologies that are used on the site:
XHTML 1.0 (includes HTML 4.01)
Cascading Style Sheets, Level 1 and 2
Javascript (ECMA-262)
Should all the pages here validate as XHTML/CSS?
They should, yes. However, validation services at W3C (http://validator.w3.org/, http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) are pieces of
software running behind W3C web servers. As such, they change from time to
time and become more strict. On occasion, what validates today won't validate
tomorrow. If you find such pages, let me know.
