Posted by CmdrTaco on Tue Apr 01, 2003 08:02 AM
from the that-does-simplify-matters dept.

Nashirak writes "This is new RFC that introduces new security measures into IPv4 header. The measures include an "evil bit" that can be set an unset according to wether the packet is evil or not."

The latest version of IPv6 incorporates an evil bit, and adding one to IPv4 will allow existing IPv4 networks to become forward compatible with the new IPv6 networks. Without this, the mere existence of an "evil" bit in IPv6 may suggest to the poular imagination that IPv6 is more evil than IPv4. This would be catastrophic, as it would stall the uptake of IPv6, possibly forcing us to use IPv4 forever and preventing us from giving every molecule on the planet it's own IP address. This is a good day for mankind.

1) A first exclusive interview gets posted twice.

2) New scientific discoveries sound familiar.

3) 10 questions turn into 20.

4) Last interviews turn into next to last.

5) Congress is considering the first ever digital cloning ban.

6) Duplicate replies to duplicate posts get duplicate moderation.

7) The only thing not duplicated is polls (not even sure about that).

8) 1000/1 = The ratio of time it takes for moderators to discover a dupe vs. the readers.

9) 0 = The number of dupes deleted.

10) The post (God forbid) announcing its closing will probably be posted twice.
