My first computer was a Radio Shack Color Computer 3 - 6809-based, running OS-9 Level II. It could run 32 processes at once, due to bank-switching a whole 1 Meg of memory.
After that, I got an AT&T 3b2, also known as a Convergent Safari. This was a Motorola 68010-based desktop.
Then, I graduated to a NeXT black&white "slab". I bought a used SPARCStation IPC in 1995, and put NetBSD 0.9 on it.
I've been using Linux since 1997, starting with a DEC Alpha-based UDB, and downgrading to a x86 PC in 2002.
I run Slackware and Arch linux.

Create custom wordlist Thank you for pointing out the non-standard flags. As something of a dinosaur, I feel more familiar with them. |

Can sed remove 'double' newline characters? @ChrisDown - are you certain? I tried it on just such a file, and it seemed to work with (GNU sed) 4.2.2. |

Modify ulimit (open files) of a specific process @test - I've never raised the hard limit. Found this: blog.samat.org/2011/04/05/… and this wiki.brekeke.com/wiki/Increase-File-Descriptor-Limit-on-Linux They say the same thing. |

Fork vs. thread system time Maybe, maybe not. Does the system actually context switch to the child processes? That's not guaranteed: stackoverflow.com/questions/6696959/… |

How does the server find out what client port to send to? @SubiSuresh - I believe you wrote the truth. |

How does the server find out what client port to send to? System call getpeername() should let you do that on any open socket. The accept() system call that the server code has to use to get a socket file descriptor to communicate back to the client has a parameter ("sockaddr" in my man pages) that contains the prospective client's IP address and TCP port number. |
