While it's a worry how 1984 society is becoming, I don't think false positives are a particularly bad issue with this technology. An operator who would normally be supposed to watch multiple streams of video for anomalous activity can use these more like bookmarks for subsequent human verification. The bigger issue as I see it is that 16 new patents were just granted on software/algorithms.
IMO JSON is broken if it doesn't accept identifiers, strings or numbers as property names or it doesn't accept single-quoted strings i.e. valid JavaScript object literal syntax. Yes I have RTFRFC, but if you're going to call it JSON then it should follow ECMA-262.
I'd rather they ask Slashdot than Microsoft, Google or Yahoo. However, it would probably be just as useful to ask on I Can Has Cheezburger or Cute Overload. (OMG, Ponies!!!)
If I tell you that a website must be usable on anything from Opera mini to Netscape 3, including Lynx, Netscape 4, IE 5 to IE 7? That it must look the same in Firefox 3, Safari 3, Opera 9.5 and IE 7.0 on Linux, OSX and Windows? All that without ANY dirty hacks, and must be W3C valid code, what are you going to do?
No problem, except you understand that the requirement for things to be pixel-perfect is retarded. The same reason we can make things work with whatever (known) user agent is graceful degradation - adding layers of functionality. It is better to have a liquid layout that works well on a phone, in a shell or on whatever browser.
Just another thought, what if they were to start using marketing buzzwords like "Total interactive throughput"? Not only could they bypass your filter but most executives wouldn't be able to tell it from legitimate communication.
If copulation could be eliminated then blocking a spam like this will only be possible via the statistical analysis of the entire message; sure this entire specific subject might be filterable but not the individual words.

On the off-chance you haven't seen it yet.

Now that's being loose with Os.
Also how are you able to grab exact locations with a URL like you just did?
"Link to this page", top right.

User number 934803, I've stolen your sig. If you want it back alive, please leave an egg in a paper bag outside the GPO
stavromueller (934803) hasn't commented for a couple of years - I don't think you'll be seeing your egg any time soon.
A little reading of slashdot commentaries is proof of that...
Because hanging out around here is proof of intelligence, right?
I definitely don't talk about WS on /.
A high quality site like slashdot
j/k.
Show me two 3-chip DLPs with circular polarised filters of opposite handedness and we'll talk business.
Also, vote++ for a combo box.
