  1. Re:My real concern is on UK Building Eavesdropping Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    I think that'd be an easy piece of software to write, and it could probally be made into a hidden feature of any firewall. Firewalls look at sources and destinations, sure as hell they can just happen to filter all mail content. Certain keywords could be blocked etc, or replaced... just a scarry thought. Saying that nobody will ever figure out how to do that has been done. Very badly. "640k should be enough for everyone."

    Being cool and all, we could all just gzip our messages prior to sending them and agree that email clients need to understand gzip compression.

    Naturally, anyother compression scheme could be used, but what's the point, gzip is the best.

  3. Re:The Achilles' Heal of OSS on Big Ball Of Mud Development Model · · Score: 1

    Hit the proverbial nail on the head. Such a tool could be multi-lingual and be just the solution most programers need for documentation. Of course documentation isn't the cure for all ills of programming, it is a good gateway drug for getting into harder things, kinda like good software design and stuff.
