I don't have the mp3 plugin installed on my Fedora box, so I cant .. eh.. hear the fscking article, but is there really anything here that requires this to be mp3? What fascinating aspects of a text-based medium is there that can't be described properly as text? Even for people who can play mp3 on their computer, would they really be read to than read themselves? I bet this guy talks a lot slower than I can read. And don't even get me started about how idiotic this must seem for hearing-impaired people. Also, non-english speakers might have gotten something out of babelfish if they were really interested, but not much chance of that now. Oh, and did I mention the waste of bandwidth?
that in most buisinesses you can afford to build your firewalls, mail filters, etc. backwards (block everything but the whitelist). On my company email account, almost all the mail the mail I've actually wanted came from someone within the company or from someone on the outside I was expecting mail from (mom, wife, children).
Perhaps we're all just clinging to a hope of hearing from long lost friends, but only allowing the whitelist is often the best option for me.
