IPv4 Headers Investigated

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-makes-a-lot-of-sense dept.

An anonymous reader writes "New security measures are being suggested (see RFC 3514) for the IPv4 header. The measures include a bit that can be set and unset according to whether the packet is secure or not. Due to the important security implications, anyone coding client/server internet applications might want to take a look."

    This has been a test. Had this been a real emergency, we would have fled in terror and you would not have been informed.

    This is the fourth post of this.

    It *WAS* funny the first time.

    Are you paranoid if you know that they just want to know everything you say and do?

    Wasn't funny the first time, now it's just beating the long dead horse.

  5. Taco: by xanadu-xtroot.com · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Please. This is no longer funny. It was funny the second time, and maybe even a third (if someone didn't drink enough beer), but a fourth is pushing it a bit too far.

    Please refrain from further re-posting of this.

    Thank you.

    and kick them in the heads a lot, until they actually WAKE THE HELL UP and stop thinking it's funny to post the same thing four times?

    And then kick them more.

    This the fourth time! Obviously, Taco's been doing this on purpose! All the people who flamed him in the previous story are going to look like suckers!!

    Taco, this is a really sweet one you pulled off! I guess even until the third time nobody caught on , given your dupe posting reputation. Congrats. Let's hope though, that dupes frequency goes down after this.

    Ok, this joke was old the third time, I'll give em' the second post....

    now we're on number four...gad!

    Try doing a real April Fools joke, like replace the main ./ page with a "we were bought out by Microsoft" or hell put a mirror of MS's homepage over yours, that'd be funny :|
    or something silly like that, this shit is -10 : Redundant and -20 : Overrated fer Gads sakes

  9. Cut that shit out.. by xchino · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ..it was ok the first time, old the seond.. now it's beyond irking me. Is this really the ONLY prank Taco could think of? What is he trying to accomplish by posting it several times over? Maybe some troll will beleive it the fourth time? It's not even a good prank, the gentoo portage to RPM one was the best so far.
