To amplify somewhat on CountZero's reply: the Monks can be rather short with people who come here and seem to be holding their hand out for code but don't show any effort at writing the code themselves. On the other hand, if people turn up with some sample code they are having trouble with they are likely to receive copious help, and often that help will be in the form of many lines of code. The more effort supplicants demonstrate in researching, refining and presenting their question the more help they are likely to receive. True laziness is hard work	[reply]

You were not expecting too much. You were simply expecting the wrong things. We are known as a very friendly community and the Monks won't hold it against you if next time you show some effort first.

How can I show some effort? please guide me......	[reply]

Commonly we expect to see some sample code that is not doing as you expect. Often that will require you to do some research on your own (and maybe ask here: "where can I find info about ... . I've looked 'here', 'there' and 'over there'."). Very often that will involve distilling a script down to just the code that is problematic and providing a sample script demonstrating the problem. Getting to that little stand alone sample script that demonstrates the problem you are having can be a chore (see I know what I mean. Why don't you? for some ideas), but often you will solve the issue yourself in the process. Anything that hints that you have struggled with the problem for a while and have taken steps to solve it on your own, or at least figure out where it is that you are having trouble, will garner the blessings of the monks.

You could start by doing a search. The first plain web page (3rd one down) gives a couple of ways to detect syn floods. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
