Tor Anonymity Network Reaches 100 Verified Nodes
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.)"

Emphasize mine. Seriously. Not RTFA is one thing. Not reading the little summery is something else. Yes, I now. I must be new here.
Wait for a sign from Gozer the Traveler; he will come in one of the pre-chosen forms.
During the rectfication of the Voldrani, the Traveler came as a large and moving Tor.
Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the Machetrik Supplicants,
they chose a new form for him -- that of a Giant Slor!
Many Shevs and Zuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day I can tell you!

They're not going to arrest the operators of all 100 nodes because it would cost too much. I'd think it would be hard to make the charges stick, as well, but IANAL.
That would certainly make detective novels quicker. "The murderer had to be one of the 12 people in this room... so rather than waste any more time on it we've decided to arrest you all."
Maybe /. should cover this guys hosting bill this month?
Keep the Classic Slashdot.
Ah, well, latency in the TOR network caused the news to arrive a bit later
With the EFF backing tor, you don't really have to worry about this scenario - they'd likely take the brunt of any legal suit, and I would imagine would provide legal assistance to any user of the tor network that got sued.
Yeah, it's not like the EFF has ever lost a lawsuit.
You'll have that sometimes...
"lol you're all under arrest"
"omg what's the charge?"
"stfu, ianal"
"The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand", or so I have read.
don't flatter yourself. no one cares what is in your pants.
