Harass the bastards

In the spirit of Nicks posting here, there is a program I use in Unix, a text editor and system manipulation program, called Emacs. Quite simply the finest program of its type ever developed (and the vi weenies who want to argue can bugger off).

One of its features is that every command is named, and commands can be written to do anything, anything at all. A command which has been there for decades is ‘spook’, which, when executed, extracts a number of entries at random from a text file named spook.lines, and inserts them into the current text buffer. The idea being that surveillance operations, run by spooks, will be alerted, and their time wasted, when this text is sent by email.

Spook.lines is kept current by the developers, and over the years more and more stuff is added. The current content is as follows:

Here in Australia the government isn’t requiring copies of every email, yet, but it will come, and when it does, I, for one, intend to start sticking this stuff into every message sent.

Fucking NAZIs.
