 Hiding HTML/SCRIPT... I think it IS possible!

I have only been programming for about six months now, but I put in about 40 hours a week’s worth.  Let’s call it my new hobby.  Anyways, I remember reading posts in the past by individuals who requested a certain feature that seemed very ridiculous at the time.

 

They wanted to hide their code from the user!

 

Now, one of the first questions that popped up in my head was why on earth would someone wish to ‘hide’ their code.  After all, the internet is all about trading technologies (right?).  Anyways, every now and then I gave the subject a little more thought and I eventually came to a conclusion.

 

Internet Applications are the wave of the future.  They don’t need to be installed and they will work on any computer (for the most part).  So, if anyone would want their code hidden from the user, it would seem that it would be the application developer community.  I am currently working on a web application and I have been working on it for almost six months now, I certainly would be very upset if someone acquired my code, copied my product and just changed a few headings and made money off my hard work.

 

 Anyways, back to the topic of ‘hiding’ code.  Does everyone out there still think it’s impossible?   I think it’s possible.

 

Actually, I believe I have found a way to do it (accidentally).  Who knows, maybe the late night programming and the double espresso’s have paid off.  I believe that I found a way to set up a site so that all the user ever sees is about 10 lines of code and that’s it.  I am not talking about disabling the right button; I am just talking about using a different style.

 

Who’s interested in pushing this conversation further?

An interesting note about your cambridge study.  I read it some time back and, yes, I think that the concept is really fascinating.  Recently, I received a spam email using this exact technique.  Pretty clever, eh.  The idea behind it is that the lowlife spammers have to come up with new ways to annoy, but they have to reference their products without including words that will be filtered out by email spam filters.  So.... by including their message jumbled in the way that you have shown above, they have managed to successfully send out their spam.  The message is filtered to avoid the spam filters, but we can still understand it.

This is the ITCA, reminiscent.

Look at me now, a shadow of the thread I used to be...
Look through my posts and through the days of loneliness you'll see...
To the times in my life when I could not bear to lose
A single post.
And the least of it all was infinity and fame...
But the dream seemed to end just as soon as it had begun...
Was I to know?
For the last thing of all that was on my mind
Was the close at the end of the show.
The shadow of a lonely thread feels nobody else...

In the shadow of a lonely, lonely thread
I can see myself...

(Looking out of nowhere...Looking out of nowhere...)

But the effort of the experts when they come to see me now,
Is not the same.
And the jest of it all is I can't justify my name.
But I cling to a hope till I can't hold on anymore...anymore...
And for all the acclaim, I am all alone!
And I see as I look through the door,

The shadow of a lonely thread...There's nobody else...
In the shadow of a lonely, lonely thread
I can see myself!

...Look at me now, a shadow of the thread I used to be....

This is not the ITCA...

cheer up

Look at them now, the shadows beyond the thread they've always been...
Look through their posts and through the days of hapiness you'll see...
To the times in their lives when I could not bear to laugh
A zillion posts.
And the most of it all was infinity and fun...
But the dream seemed to have just begun as soon as it had ended...
Were we to know?
For the first thing of all that was on our minds
Was the start at the beginning of the show.
The shadows of a happy threads feel everyone else...

In the shadow of a happy, happy thread
I can see ourselves...

(Looking out of anywhere...Looking out of anywhere...)

But the effort of the experts when they come to see us now,
Is all the same.
And the jest of it all is we don't need to justify our names.
But I cling to my sanity till I can't hold on anymore...anymore...
And for all the acclaim, we are not alone!
And I see as I look through the door,

The shadow of a happy thread...There's everyone else...
In the shadow of a happy, happy thread
I can see ourselves!

...Look at us now, the shadows of the thread we have always been....

Not bad (both), but ITCAs interpretation is a tad nearer to the original, isn't it?

Why you almost never see comments in code I make publicly available :)
