Jargon File 4.3.0. Eric Raymond has released version 4.3.0 of the Jargon File. "This version 4.3.0 is intended specifically to recognize and honor the wonderfully insane hackers of the Bergen Linux User's Group in Bergen, Norway. In perpetrating the world's first implementation of RFC1149 ('A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers') they have pulled off what may just be the funniest, cleverest hack of the last fifteen years."
