Researcher's Death Hampers TCP Flaw Fix
linuxwrangler writes "Security researcher Jack Louis, who had discovered several serious security flaws in TCP software was killed in a fire on the ides of March, dealing a blow to efforts to repair the problem. Although he kept good notes and had communicated with a number of vendors, he died before fixes could be created and prior to completing research on a number of additional vulnerabilities. Much of the work has been taken over by Louis' friend and long-time colleague Robert E. Lee. The flaws have been around for a long time and would allow a low-bandwidth 'sockstress' attack to knock large machines off the net."
Or was he silenced?

Clearly this was the result of a conspiracy by veterans of the civil war. I hope the other researchers, Grant and Lincoln, hear about this.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
Win the civil war?

It's not a joke when you tell someone to DIAF on the Internet. What if someone told him that before he died? Think of how guilty they'd feel now!

Idiot. The correct grammar is:
He should have beworn the Ides of March.

I thought you Americans did win that one?
High regard for the Slashdot community? Wow, dude, you seriously are misguided.
I had but a simple dream, to destroy all humans.
You would think someone like that would have a firewall.
But it worked for Jesus!
Actually, Jesus came back from the dead for the sole purpose of taking his revenge out on all those lamoids who kept shouting out "Hey Jesus, how's it hangin'?" while he was up there on the cross. He spent most of his time between the resurrection and his final ascension into Heaven giving out wedgies and telling people to "stop hitting themselves".
Of course, much of that has been lost in the various translations of the Gospels.
What, like RST in peace?
