derwha?

There exists an IEEE standard for gigabit token ring networking.

No, I don't know why. It was approved May 4, 2001, so I guess it wasn't the IEEE's answer to all those RFCs we know and love.

(Also, why is it that so many of the April Fool's RFCs have to do with IP? There's IP over carrier pigeon, IP over carrier pigeon with quality of service, electricity over IP, the Evil Bit in the IPv4 header, IPv6 over Social Networks, IP over ATM, IP over semaphore...)

LJ Genie: Scala

Dear LJ Genie,

I am thinking about spending some quality time with Scala. What would you recommend, resource-wise, for a Java expert (I taught it for two years) with a reasonable amount of functional programming experience? I've looked over a bunch of the references on the Scala website, and they make good sense; what I'm particularly looking for are resources of the sort that make lightbulbs go off in one's head.

Love,
Meredith
