I didn't read anything about fully automated systems that *do* anything. Its not as if it scores you and then directs a gun to shoot you based on that score. Much like my spam filter - it moves the suspected message to a folder called "spam" and then I go in and delete it, after I've verified it to be so.Hmm, so you're profiling your email.
Aren't you?! I don't have a problem with profiling of any kind, not only because I am the least effected by such work but because profiling enables those in charge of finding the bad guys to narrow and better focus their attentions. It can not be relied on completely, and broader measures must be taken, but it will find the bad guys more quickly than, say, strip searching the 90 year old, medal of honor winner...don't ya think? You are/were an anti-virus programmer right? Did you just delete suspected files or did you quarantine them? Was that quarantine based on "profiling" (signatures)? I don't want a system that shoots people or deletes files and messages, but I do want it to identify those which are suspected of needing to be shot or deleted. _______________________________________________ privacy mailing list privacy () whitestar linuxbox org http://www.whitestar.linuxbox.org/mailman/listinfo/privacy
