Tor Anonymity Network Reaches 100 Verified Nodes

Posted by timothy on from the needs-some-liver-routing-to-round-it-out dept.

James A. Y. Joyce writes "Tor is an onion routing anonymous network. It routes your data transfers through a series of encrypted links between random nodes in the network; the greater the number of nodes, the greater the anonymity afforded. To commemorate the 100th verified node in the Tor network, the EFF are putting up a request for other organisations and personal users to start up Tor nodes of their own. (Tor has been mentioned on Slashdot twice before.)"

    You're missing the entire point. I bet you're also a Bush worshiping freak. Those idiots just don't understand freedom, as you don't.

    DOSing is the most democratic of all processes on the Internet. It allows the people to speak. It allows the people to fight back against the anti-freedom organizations like ebay and Yahoo. By being against allowing free action, you are against freedom.

    So slashdot is proving once again their hatred of freedom and support of Bush. This site becomes more disgusting by the day.

    Isn't it a form of rape, trying to force your operating system preferences on other people?

    Why can't you enjoy your operating system without constantly worrying about it being some "viable desktop alternative" or "blah blah solution" or whatever you repulsive faggots are shitting out your mouths these days?

    But seriously, computers are not an end to themselves, and only disgusting pedophiles watch Star Trek.

    Note that *none* of the links actually back up the assertion that Tor has just reached 100 nodes. Just look ... !
    Damn ignorant slashdot editors.
