Question

omg... well i found the difference... and i think i just founf the cuase of #OW well on inquus instead of orange wars they have everything else not working... i think that these to sites are interfering with one another causing a conflict resulting in th orangwars! O_O WOW THATS A MOUTH FULL lol

Answer 1

on another note it ONLY happens when the OW break out on this site

Answer 2

http://www.inquus.org/
http://www.openstudy.com/

Answer 3

do you think this could be linked somehow?

Answer 4

inquus = owner of OpenStudy.

Answer 5

what i thought that was preetha? wait is that the host? O_o

Answer 6

can you maybe ellaborate a little more on that please?

Answer 7

I bet if you dig they are names for the same IP. One should be an a recorde but the other could be a c name.

Answer 8

Back when OpenStudy started they did not have a name. So they named the company and got started on the product. They eventually named the product OpenStudy.

Answer 9

whos the original creator of os then? and why does inquus still exsist and is up to date with this site, and when ow happens here everything else goes wrong there?

Answer 10

inquus is the company. Preetha is the CEO of inquus.

Answer 11

if you click inquus link it brings you to OS HOWEVER if you type in inquus.org you get the DOMAIN of inquus and not openstudy (and thanks that clears that part up)

Answer 12

Mind Blown with all this information lol

Answer 13

srsly type in inquus.org the orginaly site still exsists and is some how in sync with this one.

Answer 14

Answer 20

thesmartone notice also not much at all loades as well... UMG the problem that causes OW the servers are the same server but it cant backtrack to gather both data streams and inquus shuts down and it switches to us... we have the other site data but it has the sc data... the dns ip conflict temporarily cuts them both seperatee making them seem as theres a error within the system! O_O AH HA!

Answer 21

Your a genius... If you are correct...

Answer 22

@aynator495 No. You do not understand DNS at all. It is a c name.

http://support.dnsimple.com/articles/cname-record/

Answer 23

i do understand that part... but its inquus server and scince you are capable to acess one without it combine you to the os site and you can get to inquus which means there routes are seperate... when the transferd to this domain name they didnt transfer the complete data so its 2 routes that rely on one another to complete itself becoming a complete whole... whoever sometimes the link breaks causing orange wars... just a better explnation on what i meant! O_O

Answer 24

Which is wrong. Both names are to the same IP: 23.21.188.156, so there is one route.

Answer 25

there both an indepedent thing but requare both together simutaniosly... and when the link breaks results in whatever snt done by that (exactly theres one route... but the routes are branched... its one route but its seperate if that makes sense... its 2 parts of a whole if you will) portion of that ip... its a ip DOMAIN confict at its source... the main server the inquus.org site was on... hope that ellaborates even more clearly sometimes i know i dont make much sense at all

Answer 26

You are wong.

This is no different than any other c name.

Answer 27

i didnt even mention anything about that.... im saying ver simply its gathing what it needs from the site from 2 places that rely on eachother to be a whole,,, you know what nvm.... you the mod you probobly know best... or maybe im just not making sense... either way... im just gonna take your word for it ._.

Answer 28

My job is as a system administrator for an internet service provider.

Answer 29

thats my dads job! but he also is a cisco engineer i think its called ccna (just looked at his wall of certificates lol)... as well as a system engineer, i try to be as good as him lol. but unfortantly i cant do that except in games (he doesnt like video games ._.)

Answer 30

my dads certification*

Answer 31

ccna = Cisco Certidied Network Assosiate. That would not be a Cisco Engineer.

Answer 32

im incredibly good in computers for my age though (yea i know ._. he probobly is but his other certificates are in his room and i cant go in that room ._.)

Answer 33

incredibly bad if you include everything else there is to know though ._.

Answer 34

CCNP Security, CCDE, CCIE, and several others are where they call them engineers. The CCNA is the low level entry one.

Answer 35

oh yea then his others are definitly in his room... becuase i have seen his certification that was high (cant remeber what it was though ,-,) he has so much certification i cant really name it all .-.

Answer 36

I just realized OW is Orange War lol

Answer 37

Yah, that tends to happen when you have an HR department that does not know the difference between doing the work and getting a certification. Turns out there are people that can do both or do one or the other. So certifications do not necessarily mean a lot, but businesses want people to get them.

Answer 38

this is true... my dads one that can do both easily,
on anther note WTH?

Answer 39

Loading temp page. There are some others with aquatic references.

Answer 40

Think about this, the CCA is $15,000 itself and needs several lower levels certs to get. So a person has to shell that out every few years or they lose the cert. If they get laid off due to the economy and can't afford the $15,000, they may not be able to get the same level of job back... even if they can do the work 100% fine. All because an HR department demands current certifications.

Answer 41

wow... on another note... um... ya im done... he cant afford 15k ... but the first time he got a free scolarship ,_,

Answer 42

The cookies on inquus and openstudy are not compatible with each other though, so they're different websites with the same content.

Answer 43

At least, that's what I think.

Answer 44

The only difference on inquus.org and openstudy.com is the URL. It is a cname. Now, depending on how they have their cookie structured, yes, that could cause a difference. inquus.com, on the other hand, is used for their testing and internal control stuff, so they just redirect to openstudy.com. It might be worth it to have inquus.org be a cname for inquus.com so it just does a redirect.

Answer 45

What exactly is a cname?

Answer 46

An alias. Did you see the link above on cnames?

Answer 47

Nop. I'll take a look at it.

Answer 48

In human it is like calling someone named Robert by Bob. It is still the same person.

Answer 49

O. Yeah that makes sense.

Answer 50

And your explanation about cookies might be an issue if the cookie relies lagely on the domain name... in human, if they sign things Robert sometimes and Bob other times, the signatures will not match.

Answer 51

thats pretty much what ive been saying! i jsut didnt know how to describe it were he did! O_O well...

Answer 52

Well, all that would change is the cookie, which is login info and I doubt anything else.

Answer 53

Well, if the cookies are different, maybe there are other differences. It's possible. Because different cookie structures would need different code, right? If that's the case, then maybe inquus and OS are two different websites just hosted on the same server and not just two different domains. Idk if what I'm saying makes any sense tho

Answer 54

Yes, you can do a different domain by IP, but from what I have seen it is just a cname to IP.

Answer 55

@poopsiedoodle you pretty much just said word for word what ive been trying to say the entire time (nobody listens to me (they just think im wrong) lol) this proves it XD

Answer 56

@Jaynator495 Not really. PD brought up an important point: the cookie. That is not something you talked about and a critical conceptual difference.

Answer 57

hmm... you have a point... but its what i had meant to say for sure... i couldn't figure out how to wordit were he did... and your right there is a huge difference between the 2, guess i shoulda thought about what i wanted to say about it BEFORE submiting it so i actually got out what i meant to say... but i was in a rush... (thinks about the concept slow and steady win the race)
