- A bar code is encoded and i generally want to know what info i'm sending to potentially untrusted parties ... also, i want to be sure i'm sending the right oops, at a glance, before hitting 'send' on the email.
Maybe someone will write an iPhone/Android/Meego app that takes the picture, does The decode and lets you look, together with options on whether to just send to Your e-mail address, or to Cc; kerneloops?

- A screenshot of a well-compressed oops output tells a lot of context as well: surrounding kernel messages, general state of the system when it crashed. Sometimes it tells me the type of the laptop as well, via the logo visible on the border of the picture ;-) Context strengthens whether i can *trust* the oops - and often i'm really in doubt about oopses and want more context.
Perhaps some of this context can be encoded in the barcode too? -Tony
