Java Justice Musings |1:15 PM| The tool to take the fight to spammers and scammers would have to have a few features besides "Gobble up their bandwidth".
It would need to be able query a text file to check version, and current targets
-This text file would be encrypted, or at least signed using a PGP key.
-2 versions available, one for US/Canada download, one for other countries (due to goddamn encryption export rules)
Nice things:
User controllable throttle of bandwidth usage
A counter that shows number of gigs downloaded
Java based version so you can just click a link
Later Addons:
An smtp engine (oooh boy that's playing with fire)
A ranking system (in the same vein as "Progress Quest". Just a name, a listing of gigs, and a 20 letter comment. "Zepplin RULES!")
Edit: On second thought, maybe the PGP system isn't the best idea, but verification of the text file would be handy.
