It is the year 2015, and lawyers have completed their takeover of the
technology industry. The IETF was one of the last institutions to fall.
Under its new leadership, the organisation has decided to bring in new
definitions for common Internet terms and protocols, to align with the
new direction:
ACL - Ambulance-Chasing License
TCP/IP - Total Control Procedure for Intellectual Property
RFC - Request For Compensation
LDAP - Litigation Doesn't Arrest Progress (honest)
SSH - Sue Someone Hastily
IMAP - Infringes My Absurd Patent
NFS - Nice Fat Salary
UFS - Unbounded Fee Structure
SNMP - Sorry No More Privacy
Oh well, couldn't resist! Keep up the good fight everyone....
