April Fools: April 1, 2003

The French started the practice, with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, of referring to April 1 as poisson d'avril (April's Fish). Thus began the practice of french schoolchildern affixing paper fish to each others' backs.
Re: Fun with RFCs
The new RFC says that it defines the behavior of security elements only for the 0x0 and 0x1 values of the flag bit. How can we write router software without rules for all of the other values too?

Re: My New Car!
I have recently required the iCar too, and you are right, it is great. The only problem is that you really can't refuel at any gas station. It is not compatable with M$Hess. Unfortunatly this is the only station close to where I live. Are they going to update the iCar drivers soon?

Re: Re: My New Car!
Good news! Just before Connectix was bought by "them" they made a "Virtual Nozzel" that allows M$Hess to work in the iCar. Reports show a signifigant loss in performance though.
I also heard that M$Hess gas is more expensive, lower octane and has been know to have water in it. Also if you let someone else drive your car you have to pay for it again. You may want to concider *switching* to a new neighborhood. There is a new moving company that can help "iHell2iHome" They do good work but I have heard that you can only use thier trucks for moving out of iHell. It seems the trucks will not work otherwise. Strange.

April fool for Americans?
Didn't you have enough jokes told to you in the latest few months from "your Administration"?
The sad thing is that most of the people just believe in these jokes...

Re: Re: 970 ipod
I can't believe they were so dumb as to put only one IBM 970 chip in the new iPod. I mean really, what if I want to listen to two songs at the same time??? Geez what are these guys thinking? But on a positive note they are no longer using hard drives. It seems that they have adopted the same technology used in the xRaid Extreme III. Polymer Block storage. It uses a cube of clear plastic, about the size of a sugar cube, that stores data on a molecular level. The data is written and read by a three axis laser that shifts molecules. Total capacity is rumored at 100 trillion teraquads. It is also rumored that each iPod extreme will ship with all music ever recorded on this planet. Unfortunalty the battery life is limited to 22 seconds (with the optional iReactor portable fusion power source) and the rumored cost of a fully loaded iPod extreme (with licsences for all music ever recorded) is somewhere near 60 billion dollars. I preorded mine but they say it won't ship until first quarter of 2019. Think I should cancel my order?

Re: Re: 970 ipod
I guess people aren't smart enough by now to know that nothing your site reports is believable.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Just bitter about the whole 2/25 iPod release still.

This, kid's, is an example of flame bait, also sometimes called a troll.
Can we please keep the political comments in the political forumns like Arn has said A MILLION TIMES?!?!
