TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security 338
J0e 1337 wrote in to tell us about a recent development in the TCP/IP header RFC. He says "According to the just-released RFC, conveniently labeled number 3514 for easy rememberance, a new bit will be added to enhance security. This new evil bit will make it possible to route based on the evil status of any given packet. It's about TIme!!" You might want to read

bit 1 - definately evil (contains pictures of dead babies being eaten by a man covered in feces)
bit 2 - mostly evil (internal microsoft memo)
bit 3 - pretty evil (download of a vi clone)
bit 4 - kinda evil (how to enlarge your penis)
bit 5 - just mischevious (b00bies)
This allows administrators a fine grained ability to block packets.

So many posts are dupes.
Several have been multiple dupes.
The fact that someone had done one what I had counted as 4 times (maybe 5) is not beyond
If it was on purpose, it wasn't funny really, just lame. Not even amusing. So what does April Fools have to do with it? I can see him duping it on purpose, yea, but $10 says he didn't see it was already duped several other times. You know how I know this? Because he and others dupe all the fucking time. Its pitiful.
Its APRIL FOOLS day, not BE A LLAMA day. The key is to deceive, in a comical way. I don't see how this applies on either point. Its just lame.
Besides, I'm tired. I get to overreact once a month for free. I am pretty sure thats in the FAQ somewhere....
