Nopes… I am not writing a review post on the new IIIT magazine… But yes, this post certainly concerns them.
It so happens that Ping! team asks for a mailing list to be created. But those who have read Kulbir Saini’s post can understand that this was certainly not a constant time algorithm. So the team enquires about the delay ( or so I heard ). Here is the response they got:
You can get the mailing list created. The request might have been denied because of the name ‘ping’ which is very similar to a very common command ‘ping’. The sysadmins might have been worried about security implications of the name.
Seriously, come again?! Sending a mail to ping@students can compromise IIIT’s network ?? I knew I should have taken a course on Network Security 
Eff you, my ITWS TAs, why didn’t you teach us such important concepts? I can only imagine the horror had the mailing list been created.
