Silliness abounds this
April Fools day. As usual, the wackos at Sun have dived
head-first into it. Microsoft
has taken a more tongue-in-cheek tactic. Oh, that's a real

RFCs as well, including RITA -- The Reliable
Internetwork Troubleshooting Agent, with which Rubber Fish is
interoperable, and two RFCs relating to Internet control of coffee
machines. Just click on the first link and increment the number to
read all the joke RFCs.

Alas, the Cookie Bombardment program may have to be scaled down, as it turns out that you can't set cookies for other people's sites without making arrangement with them.
