RFC On New Internet Routing Protocol
PoesRaven writes "An A. Farrel has put out a Request For Comments paper on a new routing protocol with profound implications for the internet, the usability of the TCP/IP protocol, and the security of the net's youngest users. From the RFC: "It has often been the case that morality has not been given proper consideration in the design and specification of protocols produced within the Routing Area. This has led to a decline in the moral values within the Internet and attempts to retrofit a suitable moral code to implemented and deployed protocols has been shown to be sub-optimal." Interesting, but seems to raise some serious privacy questions.
Just kidding. April Fool's!
A. Farrel has put out a Request For Comments paper I still think he'll regret leaving Wigan Warriors to try his hand at Rugby Union with Saracens...
Oh, hell, no-one's going to get this joke.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
So at first I'm getting all pissed off, then I realized the date. Damn hippies. :)
I hada great idea for TCP/IP over chocolate - inspired by pidgeon transmission.
Every time I sit down to write it up I get so full of laughter it's never completed. Shame.
Some choice bits include:

P.S the popes dead...
Dick Laurent is dead.
Those who think this is a real story.
Those who realize it's an April fool's joke without having to be told.
Those who think that was binary.
Question everything
Might as well forget about visiting/posting or reading slashdot. It's April 1st. :/

Oh.. wait... I should follow my own advice.

No, the internet obviously needs more moral. However, contrary to current believe the problem is not that the people are so bad, but that there are simply no free implementations of moral around. All existing versions of moral come with quite stringent licensing conditions, and are usually controlled by big companies like the churches. As usual, any modification of the moral code by the user is disallowed. This is usually implemented directly into the moral (everything which contradicts the original version of the moral is considered immoral), making the moral vendors the first implementors of DRM schemes. So what is needed is an open source version of moral, where everyone is allowed not only to share their version of moral, but also to freely modify your own version.
The Tao of math: The numbers you can count are not the real numbers.

One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.

It is no longer appropriate to refer to "jumbo packets". Please use the term "capacitorially challenged".
Also known as "Fat Bastard" packets.
