RFC 3514: New Bit Defined for IPv4 Headers 270
RFC 3514
was just released, with a new bit definition for use in the headers of IP packets. Because there are important security implications, anyone coding internet services (on either the client or server end) should probably take a look.

I mean, the whole protocol thing is over my head, but I read anyway to maybe learn something. It took about 3 minutes of head scratching before I really looked at the url, return here suspicious and decide that I had been had.
I am betting 1% of the readers come back and think the new protocol is a good thing before realizing its a hoax

Ok, I'll take the liberty to be off-topic.. Mod me down.
I have friends in the military around the world. I'm sure as hell not going to be the one to throw rotten fruit at them, or call them baby killers when they come home. Ask any Vietnam vet how that feels.
Our military aren't under orders to shoot anything that moves.. They're given legitimate military targets.. Our soldiers always have the option of not shooting, if it doesn't seem like a valid target. They don't waste bullets shooting into empty shacks. They spend them on targets that are very potentially out to kill them.
If the Iraq gov't wants to portray Americans as targeting children and the elderly, that's their spin on it. Just as CNN makes it look like we only throw huge bombs at empty military buildings. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.
When our troops come back, they'll be talkative. They always are. They'll tell you the kinds of targets they hit.. If there were guys in the building shooting at you, they're a valid target. Ask the troops who were effected by chemical weapons in the last war if Saddam played fair.
If it turns out the Iraq military killed the family that lived there to make it base, that's why we're fighting this war.
