If you search for the phrase in quotes, then I’m the fourth result, although the ones above me are two pairs of pages from only two sites. And the link to my site is only to my blog index, not that particular post. If you search for the phrase without quotes then I show up as the second result and it’s a direct link to the post. Truly the ways of the Google are mysterious.

It looks like maybe you’re #2 now? The N.U. FAQ is #2, which isn’t bad considering how much jostling their is for the phrase.

I don’t recall how I’ve stumbled across it, but you can just google one of my distinctive blog post titles such as “Hacking C++ from C” to see it in action. Disgustingly my blog is only the fifth result, and the top four results for that phrase are all illegal copies of my post.

Alas, the one time I tried to do something about it, the blog service in question (I believe it was Blogger) told me to send in a written takedown request. They have never replied to my incredulous followup.
