Oh, I'd say there's much more tolerance now for historical material. 10+ years' worth of dates in titles has conditioned the culture.

Each bit could be flipped, but that's not going to put interesting pixels in the browser.
Seems like there are still plenty of latency-based attacks to turn things "upside down." For example, websites could load lightning fast but streaming could be a drip, drip, drip.
Or perhaps everything except pornhub stream lightning fast. :)

#8I came across this about 13 years ago. Just noticed (2006) so that fits. I happen to have quite a lot of IT at home. A quick (lol) emerge of squid in a VM, a fiddle with the DNS server to create wpad.example.co.uk and a copy n paste of a wpad.dat from a customer site etc and my wife's browser went a bit odd.
The following April 1st, I did it to my entire company. The PHB can also be a BOFH!

#10Through all of my bookmark purges and reorganizations throughout the years, this url has always remained a part of them. The first one, in fact, as it's lasted the longest!
Had a field day with this back in college.
