New Eudora Includes Anti-Flame Technology

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the too-bad-no-anti-troll dept.

imac.usr writes "An intriguing feature of the new version of Eudora is its MoodWatch technology, which analyzes outgoing e-mail for inflammatory language and warns you before sending. The white paper on the subject is available as a PDF file. True, there's no Linux or BSD version of Eudora available, but might the algorithms involved one day make it into other mail programs?"

    "I've always found profanity to be refuge of the inarticulate motherfucker."

    Are you implying that I would need stuff like that?
    Sug: Are you implying that I might require such algorithms?

    Take that back you miserable bastard!
    Sug: Recind your aqusation, canard!

    I have been on the Net for 13 years and know bloody well how to communicate with others.
    Sug: I have used the Internet for 13 years, and am well educated in proper etiquette.

    I don't need a stupid "AI" program to tell ME how to write damn it!
    Sug: In the course of my corespondance, I do not find the assistance of an artificial intelligance neccesary.

    You are of course an exception, huh?
    Sug: Do you fancy your own writing as deathless prose?

    Thinking "Yeah, let me give those slashdotters a hint --- there is way to much flaming there" right?
    Sug: Perhaps you say to yourself, "I should help to educate these brigands in civilised discourse?"

    Well let me tell you something: you suck!
    Sug: In such case, might I offer that, in this case, the teacher is not the elder of the student?

    Just because there are stypid minors out there that loves to spew there guts over things at /. to make themselves look cool to their friends does not make all of us spammers.
    Sug: The presenace of the precoscious does not, in fact, demonstrate ignorance of the entire assembly.

    SO THERE!
    Sug: I believe that my point is made.

    And Hemos, you better find an app for reading /. submissions and writing article blurbs, because what you do today stinks and I am sure a program could do a better job!
    In related matters, perhaps it is time for Hemos to retire, as this article has fallen well below the quality that we have come to know and expect from Slashdot.

    New alert box in Eudora 2001:

    I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you send this email. I can tell from the tone of your writing, Dave, that you're upset. Why don't you take a stress pill and get some rest?
