	Is there really a "trend of describing a web site designed for human readers as if it was a proper a machine-to-machine web service"? I'm a web developer, and I haven't seen evidence of any such trend.

 The explanation says “Come up with examples of the kind of glorified api-like web site documentation he's spoofing.”
 A very good example is [https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started Google's YouTube API]. They charge a fee for information requests, but have a daily amount of “free” requests. Like Cueball, you have to provide your personal key with every request. However '''all''' of the information available through the API, is more easily available for free, if you just load the page of a video. Formatted neatly in identified blocks, ready for import into another system.

 :Interesting - thanks.  I noted this in the explanation, but since Google has a real API and doesn't describe their regular pages as an API, I still wonder if there are better examples.  Also, does Google perhaps limit such requests if they get a lot from the same logged-in user, or the same IP address?   [[User:Nealmcb|Nealmcb]] ([[User talk:Nealmcb|talk]]) 17:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

 Does anyone else think that the "Explanation in the style of this comic" lines could be removed, or at least moved within the explanation? They make the explanation more confusing that it needs to be (which I know is the joke in the comic), but I'm not convinced. --[[User:Pudder|Pudder]] ([[User talk:Pudder|talk]]) 15:48, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
 Might the x.509 portion refer to: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System_Security_Extensions Domain Name System Security Extensions] so it's starting with a description of how to get the IP address of the server? {{unsigned ip|173.245.56.166}}
