  1. Let me summarize the article for you... by Kurt+Gray · · Score: 5

    Translation:

    A DOD spokesman has publicly stated that as soon as
    their sys admins are tired of playing Quake, they
    fully intend to install tcp_wrapper on most of
    their systems, just as soon as they're done
    sorting their bookmarks and reading Slashdot
    they promised they would get right on it and
    install that wrapper any day now, and if they
    can have Friday off, they may even upgrade and patch
    the old buggy daemons they left running, but
    as one DOD sys admin stated "Phf! That's not my job!"
    then he quickly returned his attentions to a
    heated Phantom Menace debate on "Ain't It Coll News."
