If Wx isn't that large, I might take a stab at porting it... who knows.

You will have to tell me how:
^10000.grep( *.is-prime).say; # Retrieve prime numbers from 0-10,000
Is incomprehsible bullshit and:
given $value {
when Str {
when Int {
when Bool {
default {
}
Is mind wanking....
If you've really tried the language, why not give it a comprehensive review?

Initially comparison of streams is necessary. After the watermark technique is identified it can be filtered out of a single stream in real time. A few streams can be sent to a repeater for comparison to prevent leaks by stopping when the watermark is changed. Like I said, the watermarking raises the bar but will be defeated and life will go on.

If NSA hadn't been caught searching and storing content there wouldn't now be such effort into encrypting everything.
And after conversations are encrypted effort will be made to render traffic analysis useless as well.

Comment Re:Google+ failed becuase it's GOOGLE (Score 5, Insightful) 359
It's not about who's pure. I can't control information once third parties have it. Pure today, evil tomorrow, who knows. I don't like sharing anything with Dropbox, Apple or Facebook either, and I try to avoid it.
It's just that I already use Google for searching the web, for maps, and for translation. And I use Youtube. I also store my contacts and keep a few bookmarks with Google because I use Android, but I'm close to stopping that practice.
Because of Google's search they collect too much information about me already, and I'm wary of them regardless of what they do or do not do. (Well, unless they encrypted everything client side with free software, utterly blinding themselves and their clients to everything I do)
I need to use Google a lot less, and I'm always on the lookout for ways to:
1) Use it less
2) Deny it access to information about me
3) Feed it false information about me
4) Encourage others to do all of the above

They already have too much of my online attention. Sharing anything except my searches with them is a non-starter. It doesn't matter how well implemented the service is. Because it's Google, there's just absolutely no way I'm using it.
I won't even look at files people try to share with me through Google. I just say, "Sorry, I don't use Google drive!" I feel so strongly about it I don't even care if it loses me business or friends.
