It causes network admins to say "we're gonna need a bigger baud"
looks like we've obliterated the poor thing already :(.
That which does not kill us makes us... st
those features will be available in Wireshark 2.0, forecast for release in 2018 at their current pace
Whenever some product claims to be "award-winning", I always wonder what that award is.
How could you wonder? It's "world famous"!
One might want to use the "-mit Lasern" flag, of course.
Maybe an award for the number of security issues the code has historically had?
And aircrack-ng is far from an egghead tool. It's useful for... wait a minute....
I don't think that's it. Microsoft always seems to clean up at THAT award ceremony. ;-)

Another story:
I was picking up my wireless from my neighbor and my roommate was using my computer for internet access via crossover cable.
I needed to know the contents of his AIM messages so I fired up Wireshark.
The previous version was 0.99.8 so 0.00.2 was added to make it 1.0.0
You want fun, go home and buy a monkey!
Well unless we are talking about the following awards:

"The New Age. The New Beginning."
Adobe: v1.0 is released; a week later 1.0.1 is released. A few months after that, 1.0.2. Then three years go by, and suddenly it's at 2.0, which is broken from the install.
Microsoft: v1.0 is released; no one buys it. v2.0 is released; it's still not really usable. v3.0 comes out, and people suddenly line up for it around the block. v3.0SP1 is released and fixes most of the really bad bugs while introducing a few others, some random security vulnerabilities, invalidating half the licenses of all previous versions, and causes DrDOS to crash.
Apple: v1.0 is released, but it has a bug so Apple pulls it from the download server for a few hours, after which a patched version replaces it, with the same exact version number, and no mention of any bugfix in the release notes. Any mention of any alleged switcheroo or the problem that existed in the first 1.0 release is ruthlessly and systematically quashed in the support forums on Apple's website; unfortunately, their lawyers can't censor the entire net.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!

It's easy to simulate. Just login to a remote system via VNC/RDP and then run Wireshark on it. Remove any filters that Wireshark might automatically add to save you from yourself. You can also recreate this with SSH and tcpdump.
I would make sure that it's not a very important remote system though.
