It's because the sender often thinks he's included an eyeball screen-capture to accompany the email so you know exactly what he's looking at. Or maybe he thinks he's added a zip file containing a telepathic mind-dump so you have a clue what's rattling around inside his brain.
Emails are most often misunderstood because the sender hasn't a bloody clue as to how to write one.
Hiragana or Katakana has a specific traditional form which should be machine readable. Japanese kids spend ages learning the correct stroke order and style.

Well, off the top of my head, if some "name" in opensource were to back such a scheme I for one would have no problems registering.

Like quite a few people on/. I own a domain, and manage a few websites. Because China prevents connections to certain websites, how about if the webmasters of the world somehow got themselves organised and were able to mirror some of the censored content on their website for a period of time. Then at some pre-arranged signal (I'm thinking of the lighting of the Olympic flame in Beijing in 2008 here) everyone switches their home page over to a new one where banned chinese information (pictures, words) is prominent. Also included, could be a couple of links to other sites hosting similar material aka a webring. The point being that up until the lighting of the flame, no information is available, but once the flame is lit then the whole web "lights up" with banned information. It would be impossible for the chinese to censor all these websites, even during the time that the Olympics occurs.
Somehow, a register should be set up of content providers and hosters, anyone registering for content hosting would not know of anyone else - the whole thing would be secret - and the register would allot content to hosters so that the whole thing is multiply redundant. Finally, the whole effort should be overseen by someone respectable who can report if things are going OK or if there's a shortage in any particular area.
There's a couple of years yet until 2008, should be enough time for a mature discussion and ample time to develop a co-ordinating website and distribute the required content.
...one that would search for WMFs that are set up to trigger the Backdoor. Do they exist? Are they on some shady Russian site, or are they on sites run by MS or Govt. agencies?
I had a beemer once (325i) and the rev limiter (rather than a speed limiter) would cut in when you were in danger of over-revving the engine. This would happen more in 2nd or 3rd rather than top. Only happened to me a couple of times, but with those machines the tacho just doesn't back off when you give them the gas.

Dude, I think the parent was referring to the fact that having no Flash is a gooood thing.

You don't need 6 degrees to get from GW Bush to OB Laden.
If there was mass cooperation from the web community then the so-called banned content could be mirrored, literally, everywhere.
See my journal for more details.
Don't want to repeat it all here, check my journal (there's only one entry) to see what I wrote.
Basically, the idea is to mirror banned content during the 2008 Olympics when the authorities should have their hands full with other things.

Thoughts anyone?
In this case, however "pore over" is correct.
See here
My guidelines for using IE are that if I didn't write the site myself, I use Firefox to browse it.
Now what?
Wouldn't "port knocking" be an avenue to investigate here?
Before someone else does.
Or how about A.L.L.A.H

Dammit, they omitted nonesevent!
I hadn't either, but I have now and have just updated my Adblock to include this one.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, apparently we're all ignoring Windows Vista until 2008.

Is that like ogling but with both eyes?

Yeah, have the folks in New Orleans been told yet?
Kinda odd that they'd make such an earth-shattering announcement on a 404 page?
