These examples don't relate to the issue of SaaSS. It doesn't matter if your MUA is running or not---you have the freedom to modify it and run it again. It doesn't matter if others use LaTeX, just as it doesn't matter if others don't use C or Python or any other language of your choosing. The point is that you can't even make those choices to begin with with SaaSS. You can't modify your MUA-as-a-service. And you can only use LaTex-as-a-service if that service both supports it and lets you do so. >> You're talking about tricking hackers/programmers/users who read >> the code. > No. I am talking about using a sophisticated type system to eliminate > ill-doing. Please provide an explanation of how this would be the case, any more so than it is today. Type systems are orthogonal to this issue. -- Mike Gerwitz Free Software Hacker | GNU Maintainer http://mikegerwitz.com FSF Member #5804 | GPG Key ID: 0x8EE30EAB
