Speaking from the UK perspective, the argument is very much about "stopping fucking foreigners in to take all our jobs".

To this end, the popular opinion is in favour of making legal immigration harder, and kicking out all the illegal immigrants.

One of the more amusing headlines I've seen involved an Indian immigrant joining the British Nationalist Party, as he supported their policy of "Britain is full, stop immigration".
Quite right, and interesting, because you're then sending a copy of the email as defined by MIME. What you're not doing is modifying the original - as soon as you do so, it becomes a different email.
It's not just Wall St. Everywhere I've worked has had similar clauses (even though some of them are of dubious legal stature in the UK).

Is this really needed?

It really inconveniences the recipient. They cannot copy and paste the email. This can sometimes be important. Often private emails contain usernames, passwords or urls.

You cannot view emails on multiple computers without first yourself going out of the way to register multiple devices..

There are many scenarios where forwarding the email is important. You may want your solicitor to look at it whatever.

It seems to me the best use of this service is just to send people some hate mail as it makes it difficult for laymen computer user to forward it to someone who can do something about it.

Email isn't a secure platform, if you don't want what you write getting out there don't send it, use another medium, avoid sending emails to untrusted people.

Making the email an image means I probably won't read it.. I guess that is one way to stop me from forwarding it.

cool concept, thought I need sth like this. waiting for bitbucket and it can be useful. keep up.

I hope you send an email when you add bitbucket.

criticism: font-sizes and line-heights are going crazy around there, needs some consequence and more whitespace. and the "Your account ( Z A L E W )" is just fugly. the logo http://hackful.com/ :)
I guess it's fine to use multiple targets too. However, usually you can get away with one, because free(NULL) and similar cleanups tend to be no-ops. So you have something like:

char *foo = 0, *bar = 0;
if((foo = malloc(X)) == NULL || (bar = malloc(Y)) == NULL)
goto cleanup;
make_me_millions(foo, bar);

cleanup:
free(bar);
free(foo);

In this case, and many cases like it, there's no need to have two jump targets, because one is good enough. You'll have to declare the variables early on anyway to avoid warnings/errors from definitions that cross jump labels.

So there's probably nothing wrong with multiple jump targets but that might not be needed with well-behaving cleanup functions.
How dare you imply that programming could possibly be subtle or nuanced or require thought? The very idea that our entire field of expertise could not be adequately conveyed by an eight-page Microsoft Word document of absolute endorsements and prohibitions—laughable!
after all funding is just a way of saying 'we persuaded some people to lend us some money'. (I know- equity finance is different in some respects)

Is 'the Bank just lent us $ million' as impressive as 'we reached profitability?

It certainly shouldn't be.

BWT is a really neat trick, I first came across it in Andrew Tridgell's thesis on rsync, which is worth a read (http://www.samba.org/~tridge/phd_thesis.pdf). I changed PMD's copy-paste detector (CPD) to use it, which at the time was a massive improvement over its brute-force approach:
http://onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2003/03/12/pmd_cpd.html?page=...
...fairly obviously, the sorted permutations of BWT allow you just to read off duplicates; I was using permutations of tokens not characters.

CPD now uses Rabin-Karp searching, which is faster still. However, writing a copy-paste detector with BWT is fairly trivial and I still keep that script in my head for languages CPD can't handle.

Ah, yes. The pronunciation changed over the years and nobody in recent memory can remember when Greek was tonal (I'm not entirely sure when this was), but we got rid of it about 60 years ago? My dad can remember writing in polytonic, but it didn't make any difference to pronunciation by then.

Great, this solution obviously addressing a burning need. May I ask, were previous solutions free and work on nearly all email clients?

I don't really see any major race happening. The best information grabbing tool already works great - people's eyes. The purpose of this tool is just to make forwarding a little harder, and add auditing and watermarking for environments where this added information can be acted on.

I'm a junior level web developer in my first year at a salary job for such. I'm self taught and motivated, with a good CV and lots of completed projects under my belt.

Now it's become obvious my work has a serious visibility problem. Still pulling less-than-average wages, I asked my employer for a performance review which resulted in above average praise. Naturally I'm curious about the difference between my work and a Real Developer. They explained that a a web developer is dedicated with more experience on real projects etc, but reading between the lines it seemed like a perception that I've yet to pay my dues with long hours spent in frustration testing on overdue deliverables. So I understand that resentment, who do I think I am to walk in and demand wages consummate with my output? This is a communication problem. My abilities might mirror my peers, but reputation is effecting my career directly. At this point I realize most of my work is invisible, patching broken websites and refactoring old code, deploying small changes etc.

I need more visibility, I need to show off my skills and process more. I'm out of time and energy, my private projects at home are my own and I'd like to keep them private (for now). Now I'm working with my marketing person to setup a company development blog, hopefully that will give me more control over my image with this company.
Most start up companies have open source at the core of their philosophy, so it naturally follows that people working at such companies will have a rich open source portfolio. For instance, today I contributed a fix to a plugin we're using. Making open source contributions is just part of my normal workflow.

If you are working at a company that doesn't value open source now, and you don't contribute to open source, it will be hard to transition to a job that does value open source contributions.

You mention your current job is in banking. If you were to apply to another banking job, you'd probably have a better chance of getting the position than someone who has a rich open source portfolio, but no experience in the industry.

Having a GitHub account with x projects is just the new has x years of experience in Java.

Hard to imagine how they arrived at the total cost of €1,400 - what about the hours of work that went into the web app and iPhone app, and all the visual design? Are they calculating their hourly rate as insignificant?

It really doesn't matter if it's broken. Apple already has your money.

Food for thought: When something like this happens to a free OS, like NetBSD, to which Mr. Metzger has been a longtime contributor, it usually gets fixed rather quickly.

I haven't run with disk swap in many years. With FreeBSD, you need to at least configure swap on a /dev/md, but it doesn't need a real disk. The FreeBSD kernel may panic otherwise. With NetBSD you don't even need a md. It is nearly impossible to get the kernel to panic from memory starvation.

These are "free" systems.

I still think the right click save as is still the most troubling. Besides that you missed a couple of points, I'll help identify them here.

-Most people prefer to have emails off to stop the kind of tracking you mentioned in your watermarking point. Advertisers do this all the time.

-Could you elaborate on the quoting? I think the original poster meant that once you SEND a mail through nofwd the receiver cannot easily quote part and reply to you as they could with a text email. I think you're confusing the person doing the quoting with the original sender.

-III) is a matter of personal preference I guess. You mentioned that you see this working in government situations, there's no way they would implement this technology if there was no fallback for their disabled workers. Lawsuits everywhere!

-The archive you keep at nofwd.com - is it viewable for the receiver? I think once again you've confused the person doing the searching.

I'm pretty undereducated on the whole subject, I just noticed a couple things you might want to go back and address in your rebuttal. I hope you find a userbase for your system!

Edit: I guess the biggest issue I see with the system is that it takes away a HECK of a lot of great functionality from email (copy-paste, embedded replies, privacy as you must show images, accessibility, etc.) while adding a paper thin layer of security. Anyone can just save a copy of the image, or even screenshot their computer. If it's really critical, they can just manually re-enter the info (assuming its something as trivial as sales numbers or a condensed strategy). It seems like nofwd.com is to emails what drm is to media, something that inconveniences legit users while not stopping people from getting around it at all.
Njix is right, but don't let the flaws in this experiment prevent you from sharing and building more projects.

He does point out a valuable lesson, do not try and fix a problem from one area with another, which applies a lot in development... I see people fixing CSS rendering issues with JS for instance.

It's interesting that the author uses the term "easy" to describe PHP, as there have been a few talks in the Clojure community about the difference between something being simple and something being easy, and the former tends to be recommended over the latter.
The problem you are trying to solve is impossible to solve by modifying the contents of an email.

The problem is not that people can forward emails, the problem is that an untrustworthy person has been given valuable data.

You could press printscreen, take a photo... anything you do to that email can be overcome.

This doesn't mean your development has been in vein, I am sure you have learnt a huge amount executing this, and it is great to share it. Very impressed, thank you!

Just need to find a niche where this doesn't completely piss everyone off. I'm sure they are out there, the government and legal ones you mentioned sound promising.

I also like the sound of the watermarking idea or sending slightly different text to find leaks.

Prior to now, I didn't even realize it was conceivably feasible to do asteroid mining... but if it is, why doesn't someone start a massive open source track? A classic space race, though it would between a private company, and a non government public effort. I'll contribute money and time :D
The idea is that you don't use this for all of your emails, just the ones that you don't want forwarded.
I think "Transformational Entrepreneurship" is a great idea to consider in the development stages of a project but it does not work without many of the companies that are built without societal ethos. For instance, Apple's Iphone supports great "transformational" apps that can better the way we do things, but the smartphone itself could be seen as a meaningless device that does not help society. Is it safe to say that you can't have transformational entrepreneurship without meaningless ventures?
OBJECTIVE-C GRAPHING AND PLOTTING WITH LITTLE-PLOT
Age-related words has been used to describe status in a hierarchy for a very long time. It's an euphemism. "The Council of Elders" sounds much better than "The Council of Rich & Powerful". This tradition is in fact much older than most of our words so it's pointless to argue about its semantics. It's very common in classic Latin.

My argument is that since "senior" has been used as "someone having a high status" for thousands of years, it actually means it.

I'd prefer to take Monday off than Friday. Going to work places me conveniently in the middle of the city, perfectly placed for some post-work socialising.

The problem with taking Friday off is that it would make my social life incompatible with the people who are aren't. I'd be off doing my weekend things whilst everyone else would be hitting the bars and clubs. Having Monday off would let me finally make better use of my Sundays, and losing Monday night isn't a big deal because it's not normally a big night anyway.

I think galaktor agrees that one should seek/give preference to someone with (relevant) experience, and accord that person "high status". He's merely clarifying that that preference should come from actual, relevant experience/expertise, not from a time-based measure.

Confusing or conflating "senior in age" with "senior in experience" is exactly what his post is about.

It's not necessarily ego; I'd say it's more that a lot of programmers hate bad design (real or perceived), even if it doesn't directly affect them. The same desire that drives a person to want to do a good job also contributes to them being annoyed by shoddy jobs done by other people.

I have just been educated by reading more of this thread. I can see an obvious need for one virtualenv, so that you can separate your service and its needs from the system python and its needs. Beyond that my inclination would be to go more servers rather than more virtualenvs, but circumstances vary and my experience is narrow.
