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.)"

    My grandmother, Anna Pearl (Fine) Hartman, born August 26th, 1882, in Davilla, Texas, was not special except in the ways all grandmothers are special. Friends and family called her Annie. Her children called her Mama and so did I.

    Mama was sweet, gentle, smelled alternately of home-made light bread and/or Mentholatum which she applied regularly to herself and me for a variety of reasons --anything short of brain surgery.

    She taught me to fish, dig for and thread a worm on a hook, catch a grasshopper for bait in a pinch, and how to throw the line from a cane pole. She could kill a water moccasin with a fence post and did on more than one occasion. Other creatures threatening harm also got the fence post. She gave added dimension to the term, fencing,

    She was a devoted Fundamental Baptist who practiced foot washing; whose favorite hymn was "Farther along we'll know all about it; farther along we'll understand why." She had her own version of scripture inspite of the fact that she rested secure in the inviolable, unchangeable Word -- 'It says what it says, but this is what it means. "

    She could comfort my perpetual skinned knees and stumped toes using some kind of ointment and a torn sheet bandage split in two on one end and tied about the wound.

    Mama was endearing and beloved and, as it dawned on me later in life, an enigma. Hearing about her as a friend, sister and mother acquainted me with someone else, somebody I didn't know. Now that I am a grandmother, I've discovered what Mama may have sensed or known. Deep down inside, all grandmothers are sluts. We like it in the back door.

    This is a rambling mockery. How does this achieve insightful status? Are the people modding it up brainless monkeys, that this offtopic rant about the US government could offer some sort of insight?

    There are not hundreds of methods for abusing cars per legitimate method for using them (which was the initial context of the poster.

    You may say "but I can come up with thousands of (outlandish) scenarios of how to abuse cars for ever legitimate use."

    Bravo. You have a good imagination. Seriously though, with any technology/freedom/right, one has to weigh the legitimate uses versus the illigitimate uses. It's a relatively dimple equation if you're a utilitarianist:

    Sum(percentage of usage on good use 'i' * "goodness" of use 'i') - Sum(percentage of usage on bad use 'j' * "badness" of use 'j').

    If the result is positive, keep the tech/freedom. If it's negative, ditch it.

    For sunglasses & cars & screwdrivers the answer is overwhelmingly positive. For this technology, it may wery well be negative. I'm not going to coment on the result for this specific tech.

    B.T.W. I'm only responding to the AC in this case because it's been modded up. THis is only insightful in that it doesn't pay attention to the parent and is restating a philosophical trusm (in my opinion).
