Submission + - twIP - an IP Stack in a Tweet (www.sics.se)

Adam Dunkels writes: "Inspired by the Twitter-sized program that crashes Mac OS X, I just wrote a really, really rudimentary IP stack called twIP, small enough to fit in a Twitter tweet. Although twIP is very far away from a real IP stack, it can do the first task of any IP stack: respond to pings. The entire source code can be found in this 128 characters long tweet. For those who are interested in low-level network programming, a code walkthrough with instructions on how to run the code under FreeBSD is available here. The FAQ: Q: why? A: for fun."

So, maybe it's about time to realize that information about a new
release will leak and do something about it? I don't know the reasons
for having the distribution laying around the usual place before it's
released but I'm sure there must be good ones since everybody seems
willing to go through this pain over and over again.

If it's impossible to fix this by hiding the directory, password
protecting it or something similar during "flux time" this fact should
certainly be communicated by other means than through slashdot notes.

Or at least touch "AAA - - - NOT YET RELEASED - - - EXPECT CHANGES - -
-".

And no, I didn't post the FTP URL to make anyone upset. I just wasn't
aware of this way of releasing software and I'm sure I'm not the only
one.
