Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

It’s worth mentioning that this is a problem with any binary file format – insofar as you can’t really see what it contains without special tools. Text files on the other hand can be viewed in their entirety in any text editor such as Notepad. It would be prudent to only release sensitive information in a text based format, and double-check the contents in a text editor.
Text based formats include plain text, HTML and XML. XML is used by the OpenOffice.org office suite.
