I did use par2 and tar to generate redundancy, but I still need a way to locate it in the bytestream. Tar doesn't seem to reliably mark the start or end of files :/

I tried that first! But tar complains if it can't find the file header! So I still need to do some sort of packets. Unless you know some sort of workaround?

Its not that they think they'll be affected. Its that they believe the market is "fair", and therefore rich people must have "earned it", and taxes are an unfair punishment.

Of course the reality is that the market is only ever fair when it approaches equilibrium, which is typically achieved through taxes...
