Send Emails After Your Death · Slashdot Mirror

Roland Piquepaille writes "As you all know, the two things in life you can't avoid are taxes and death. But if you will no longer have to pay taxes after your death, you will be able to send email thanks to a new service, Mylastemail.com. The Los Angeles Times (free registration needed) says this service will cost you $9.99 for a three-year subscription. The company says you can update your farewell messages from anywhere in the world, including cybercafes or airports." If it's not a hoax, it's a pretty cool service.

Dead Man's Switch by Plug · 2003-11-15 02:14 · Score: 4, Informative

Sounds very much like the Dead Man's Switch that was covered on Slashdot a while back...

If you don't tell it you're alive every now and then, it can encrypt your files, send email, and post messages on the web. Very paranoia.
