Why are you trying to pass off replacing 'i' with '1', etc. as cryptographically strong?
Your idea is stupid because any decent dictionary attack uses a wordlist, not an actual dictionary. Word lists obviously include substitutions such as 'o' and '0'. Even if it wasn't recognized as one word, all that needs to be done is try a concatenation of each word in the list with each word in the list itself again. Which takes hours on a modern desktop computer. That's is pretty weak.
"And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll, I'll, I'll set, the building on fire..."
While a letter traverses through the mail system, sure the destination address must be read (much like an IPV4 header), but does that alone give the right to your government to read it's contents? It certainly gives the opportunity in both cases (opening, holding up to light, etc. for a letter -and- logging, deciphering, etc. for packets) but that shouldn't justify it. Granted, when you send letters it's going through a federal system and when you send a packet it's not, but that's not the point I'm intending to drive with this analogy.
The concern here is not that your (plain text) HTTP request for some child porn or whatever can be read by anyone whose computer it's routed through, but that your government can without proper warrants or causes, and they can use it against you.
The unintellectual capacity for this thread has been breached.
I'm appalled at the amount of people here who wish to flush *their* constitutional rights down the toilet. It's a right of the people. Who is the government (which derives its power from the people) to take it away, and why are people welcoming it? As I'm sure it has been mentioned in one of 900 or so posts before mine, "Those who would give up ESSENTIAL LIBERTY to purchase a little TEMPORARY SAFETY, deserve neither LIBERTY nor SAFETY." - Benjamin Franklin.
Also if not already mentioned, "Isn't it funny that those who preach nonviolence are the same ones who 'don't trust themselves' with a gun? Well, if they can't handle it, that doesn't mean we shouldn't." -- Cancer Omega, 1997 From attrition.org/technical/firearms/index.html which reflects most of my opinions on gun control.

From TFA:
"suggested as workarounds that... they should close the Windows Media Player, turn off speech recognition, and restart their computer"
Was meant to read:
"...and shutdown their computer, maybe even unplug it just to be sure"
And come on fellas, this is not an bug. It's a warming gift to our beloved exploit writers, now they don't even have to lift a finger to run exploits!
