IPv4 Headers Investigated
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."
It's April 1st. I wonder if Taco's gonna do anything out of the ordinary today for April Fool's Day?
I read somewhere today that there's a new RFC out regarding IP header bits--you can set and unset a particular bit to determine the packet's overall security. I haven't seen it linked anywhere yet, and I'm considering sending it in to the editors, but I can't find their address.
This is something I think they'd be very interested in.
This is beginning to remind me of that fat kid in school who only knew one joke, and kept repeating it ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME.
You know him. He was at your school, too.
"This is the fourth time I have seen this story.
It is getting less and less funny."
Perhaps if y'all didn't act like Slashdot commited a mortal sin whenever the occasional dupe occured, Taco wouldn't have found this joke so amusing. Mmmm?
Frankly I think it's hilarious. I hope you all have learned a lesson now. Stop bitching about story dupes or this joke'll be around next year too.
And i have proof!
hehe
When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it will let some poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi. (Larry Wall)
