Anonym.OS a Boon for Privacy Geeks?
The Hosting Guy writes "Wired is running an article about a live CD that makes anonymous browsing easy enough for everyone. 'So easy to use you can hand it to your grandmother and send her off on her own to the local Starbucks.' Anonym.OS makes extensive use of Tor, the onion routing network that relies on an array of servers passing encrypted traffic to permit untraceable surfing."
So does anyone know just how much porn there is on the internet? I'm looking for hard statistics cause most "normal" people don't get it when I refer to my connection as a "porn pipe".

I was sympathetic when I read your post, but then I scanned up to your name, and I recognized you. I agree with the first AC in this. If I had never heard of you I would have agreed, but you're a minor celebrity on this site, and although that's something to be proud of, it is to some extent a bad thing for the community at large.
The value of this site, besides the rare funny joke, is that in a community of 500,000 or so geeks, for each small niche there is a geek for whom that is his focus. He then posts insightful comments and gets modded up.
Don't get me wrong, noteworthy posters on this site can be a good thing, but someone who has something to say about everything (I won't name names but you can check my foe list for names you recognize to see what I'm talking about) actually dilute the SNR on this site.
Again no offense, and I do appreciate your posts, this is just a generalization about this site.

"Matsuo Munefusa, alias Basho (1644-94), was a Japanese poet and writer during the early Edo period. He took his pen name Basho from his basho-an, a hut made of plantain leaves, to where he would withdraw from society for solitude."

I once had a story in "Pending" state for TWO MONTHS, until it was finally rejected. Your submission will probably be the dupe of this story in a few days.
