I heard something about an evil bit being added to IPv4, but I haven't seen any links to it. Can anyone assist me? This sounds like something Slashdot would be very interested in...

You ever wrote that article is pretty stoopit
Um, dude, I think that's the point. It's called humor. That is, claiming things to happen that can't
Ok, I admit it, I feed trolls. Sue me.

Of course, this is funny precisely because so many people (including me) would love to have such a thing. If only so I could copy text and paste it into the Find dialog box again!

You would really be overcompensating with that 19" powerbook if it was real. If you look at the page it is 19" wide, not diagonally.
That powerbook would actually be a 21" powerbook
Steve Jobs resignation (Score:2)

Could be worse, though. I thought about saying that Apple would team up with Microsoft (MSN) and Dell and create an ISP called the

but I figured too few people would catch the joke. :-)
