    This is an offtopic post, so don't feel bad modding me down.

    This is exactly the type of story that belongs on Slashdot. It is cool and informative. It talks about technology that will exist and what is necessary to make it happen. It appeals to the software-loving hacked in all of us.

    It surely belongs on the front page, unlike that Linux 127.0.0.1 story that precedes this one.

    Perhaps someone can resubmit it and get it published to the front page?

    Seems like some days old news and btw, next version of OBSD (OpenBSD, not BSOD:P) is 3.1, not 3.0.1 ;)

    Stateful filtering of TCP connections? Sweet! Now I can tighten up my firewall while still being able to surf the web!

    I think this is the right thing ... they try to prevent ANY bugs, harmful or not!
    Other software creators fix their bugs when they appear, but the openbsd developers try to avoid/prevent bugs, which is IMO the best thing to do!
