"CCD servers are part of a central infrastructure operated by Ciphire Labs."
The end-user advantage to this system seems not to be transparent encryption - a relatively simple hack one may apply to this or that MTA - but to the automagic sharing of keys and transparent negotiation. Entrusting these keys to a centralised architecture seems contrary to any `secure' as we lose the benefits of community audit and so on. Furthermore, since Ciphire is a corporation in Germany (it seems from their Disclaimer page) all servers become a single point of failure both technically and politically.
Creating a client-client system of key negotiation seems like a better investment of time: creating a system that automatically queries other clients for their identifiers, not a central medium. Although there is still no sure guarantee that keys are reliable the key source's identity may be reasonably verified - more so, at least, than a server that operates at the whims of its administrators. Developers of PKI (a now-marketspeak term) could learn a thing or two from the No-Trust mantra of anonymous net developers - from Tor to Mute, Chaum mixes, P5, tree hashes and so on (not to mention the poor venerable, FreeNet).
So, mistake of thinking a university home to free-spirited debate. Reading this over fresh orange juice in the morning, a cuppa.
I'z a recent graduate of UR. Not living in the hell-hole campus (sites stop short of trimmed shrubberies). Open your eyes. Education the beaurocracy of minors and young academic B1FFs.
Try informing an aspiring politician or, say, professional accountant of fair use. Wrong. Or a wealthy young upper middle class fraternity drone while he politely waits for the next shot down a thousand-dollar ice luge.
Beef that tuition, we cheer, restrict our rights. Limit our minds! Ra ra! It's the snazzy new cheer!
DRM breaking fails without a Microsoft pretty-print GUI. Students do as they're told, not as they think between hits of cocaine and spoon-fed Nietzsche.
I saw life at an Linux Internet kiosk near a Coke machine, the username was 'aristius' and I thought Horace. But the.xinitrc was a loop around firefox and a bright bulb killed the X server and hit 'echo -e \n\n\ncory sucks cock'. I'm sorry, Cory, I'm sorry that you suck cock. Signed, Nietzsche.
I might argue, as a poet, that your ignorance of modern poetry is laughable. I might pray that your opinion is not representative of the whole. Not only did WCW influence (and participate in) the imagist, objectivist, 'beat' and 'postmodern' poetry movements, he stands among America's greatest poets.
Do you criticise all things that you do not understand? Or maybe it's just those that stand in the face of prevailing convention. Perhaps we should start with Eliot, then. Or maybe Baudelaire. I mean really, un-rhymed poetry? Who'd'a thought?
Perhaps you should find out why Williams happens to be so influential. And why he happens to be in an anthology of poems.
I suggest picking up a book on poetry. Start at address 0x00 and continue. Then a book of poetry. Repeat.
Please reconsider when you have a clue.
On the topic of a "poetic AI" (computerised monkey with typewriter), I wept.
