TwIP - An IP Stack In a Tweet 81
Adam Dunkels writes "Inspired by the Twitter-sized program that crashes Mac OS X, I just wrote a really, really rudimentary IP stack called twIP, small enough to fit in a Twitter tweet. Although
twIP is very far away from a real IP stack,
it can do the first task of any IP stack: respond to
pings. The entire source code can be found in this 128-character-long tweet. For those who are interested in low-level network programming, a code walkthrough with instructions on how to run the code under FreeBSD is available here. The FAQ: Q: why? A: for fun."

It is like me saying I can make a Web Browser using a shell script with 2 lines.
#!/bin/bash
apachectl start
If that's what you're using as a web browser, you're doing it wrong.

Yeah, but for(;;) loops forever, whereas while(1) only loops while 1 is true. It's completely different! What if 1 becomes false?!
