TCP/IP Header Bit Added to Improve Security

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 A Related Slashdot Story in order to more fully understand the scope of this exciting new RFC.

Enjoy the comedy

Hey man, its April Fools Day, take it all in and enjoy it. We need it nowadays more than ever.

The Mother Of All Dupes

[mrsam]

This has to be a troll. It's one thing having dupes posted by different editors, it's quite something else when you have a dupe posted by the same editor.

The last dupe was also Taco's. Either this is a marvelous troll, or Rusty's right.

Dupe dupe dupe...

[NeoSkandranon]

Has Taco ever duped himself before? methinks we are seeing slashdot history made here....

the David Letterman school of comedy

[geekoid]

just repeat the same joke over and over,until its funny.

Personally, I think doing this all day is funny, especially since that is the joke.

Funny

[bluesnowmonkey]

I vote "funny". What's even funnier is the number of people complaining about the dupes like they don't get the joke...

Again. Again - Again !

[valkraider]

I was going to post something witty, repeated 5 times. But I got this message:

Your comment violated the "postercomment" compression filter. Try less whitespace and/or less repetition. Comment aborted.

Maybe this same filter should apply to stories, eh? Yet I have a ton of "denied" stories that are about actual important, interesting, relevant stuff - with links and resources and everything. I could just make up poop and it would get the front page 5 times!

I've been subscribed to Slashdot since the option became available, and I check this site all of the time.

But *five* times! This really isn't funny, and it holding back from any ligitamate news stories.

Should I be regretting my subscription money?


Jesus christ, where did all these whiny little fucking brats come from? What a meager threat. I hope you do neglect to spend your $5 on a slashdot subscription in the future so I don't need to see you nailing yourself to a fucking cross on april fucking fools day. Actually, why don't you stop visiting all together so that this kind of crap doesn't hold back from any legitimate comments.

I've also been subscribed to slashdot since the availibility of the option, and I intend to keep it despite any bad jokes by Taco. I think it's kind of ironic anyway, being that Taco is doing this because of all the whining and complaining people chuck at him about dupes.

Stale repeat

[ukoda]

The repeats may be annoying but for some of us 1st April was yesterday making it 'off topic' as well. How about some of that 'News for Nerds. Stuff that matters.' ?

fnord

[Mr Z]

Wow... this massive reposting was actually predicted earlier in an unrelated story! [slashdot.org]

Spooky, I tell you. ;-)

Is this really a joke?

[maddskillz]

Most people would assume that the multiple posting of this story is an April Fool's joke, but given the quaility of the editing here lately, I have my doubts
