kid_wonder writes "Wired is running an article describing an answer to this previous /. story. Packets are sent through a network of randomly selected servers each of which knows only its predecessor and successor. Packets are unwrapped by a symmetric encryption key at each server that peels off one layer and reveals instructions for the next downstream node. As a 'connection-based low-latency anonymous communication system,' Tor seems to be the answer to JAP to allow anonymous networking activities of all kinds."

Mods don't read the posts they moderate. That's why the grandparent, which is meant to be funny but appears serious at first glance, is modded interesting. That's just Slashdot for you, that's based entirely on random dummies moderating their peers...

JA* is a well-known racial slur used against the Japanese people. It was very insensitive of Slashdot to do this and very unprofessional.

The Biological weapons used to control the Gypsy Moth infestations come to mind. Spraying live bacteria from the air is Biowarfare, just not aimed at humans.
