svn diff -w svn diff has no "-w" option, but you can use a specified diff command:
svn di src/com/foobar/File.java --diff-cmd diff -x "-u -b"

Bayesian filtering for idiots?
Screw spam filtering. That's old hat. Who's going to step up to the plate
and write bayesian filtering for idiots? A mailing list that I'm on (which
shall remain nameless) is crawling with morons who don't do the vaguest
search of the archives or FAQs. Argh.

Lost for Words I've never seen politican-speak so ably distilled. For a better English!

Lost for Words: The Use and Abuse of the English Language by John
Humphreys sounds interesting. Humphreys is a UK journalist who takes aim
at politicians like Bush and Blair who use mindless repitition of canned
phrases to drive their point home and avoid using verbs whenever possible
to avoid accountability:
Humphrys notes Blair's apparent fear of verbs and mocks his speeches, which are peppered with verbless phrases like "new challenges, new ideas," or "for our young people, a brighter future" and "the age of achievement, at home and abroad".
