Tor: A JAP Replacement

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the trust-no-one dept.

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."

    Yes, the cry of "Tor! Tor! Tor!" has historically been the beginning of the end for Japs.

    Old news, same crap /. editing.

    First, the term is Japanese. All my Jap(anese) stuff went away 25 years ago, 'cept for some sony stuff.

    Jap(anese) was replaced by Taiwanese.

    Taiwanese was replaced by Korean.

    Korean was replaced by Philippine, Malaysian, Indonesian, Spanish, Italian. Maybe Mexican, too.

    Future models look to be primarily Indian, Chinese, Brazilian, and Mexican.

    Incidentally, USian Wasp has also gotten EOS'd and will also be replaced by Indian models over the next few years.

    German, will maintain a tiny niche of high-end customers for many years to come. Kind of like Apple Computer Corp.

    (like a lot of SNL stuff, I'm stuck just fading away without a good finish. So:
    "Emily (Gilda Radner): What's all this nonsense about killing the youth in Asia? Why are we only killing the youth in Asia and not the youth in Africa or the youth in...
    Chevy Chase: That's euthanasia, it means mercy killing...not "Youth in Asia"

    Emily: Oh... Never mind!

    "I suspect that much of the child porn around is made by amateurs for their personal gratification rather than for profit."

    Yes, the photography is gratification incidental to the actual act itself. How is banning child pornography on Freenet going to reduce sexual acts that would happen anyway?

    "And since this is an addiction"

    I see no proof that pornography or sex is defacto an 'addiction'. I am sure it might be argued it *can* be, and if such is the case I prefer that the pedophiles will find an outlet on Freenet instead of on a child.
