German TOR Servers Seized
mrogers writes "Servers participating in the TOR anonymizing network have been seized by public prosecutors during a child porn crackdown in Germany. TOR provides anonymity for clients and servers by redirecting traffic through a network of volunteer-operated relays; the German prosecutors may have been trying to locate an anonymous server by examining the logs of the captured relays."
"Someone told us...Guy in fine suit"
user@ubuntubox:~$ stfu This server is going down for shutdown NOW!
That the government seized them as evidence in a child pornography ring. Anything else they find is inadmissable.
So if you aren't trading child porn, you are fine. Are you worried?
But wait, lets kick this into paranoia gear. The Man is taking over everything! We have no privacy! AHHH!

Are you intolerant of intolerant people?
Come on, man, Cowboy Bebop is so 20th century..... Get with the program and watch some Samurai Champloo already.
This is a stereotype. Many Americans like myself are very concerned about the world's problems, the environment which is being destroyed, and many other things that are going wrong with this world. Some people will hide from the world and its problems. They choose alcohol, or drugs, or video games, or some other distraction to take their mind off of life. But we don't all do this.
I disagree heavily with the current administration's policies. I will do my part and vote against them in the Fall election. Hopefully if the Democrats can take control then Bush the madman will lose some of his power, but our superpower status as a country is being abused and ruined by a man who is waging his own holy war against muslims. I think everyone should be able to plainly see that the US needs another evil enemy to fight without Russia, so they decided the muslims of the world are the next big threat.
I think if we pulled our army out of every country, cut its funding dramatically and used money to help poor third world countries learn to become self sufficient and generate jobs for many of their citizens that this would go a lot further towards combating terrorism then taking over countries that we don't agree with and rebuilding 'democratic' governments for them. What if China took over countries for fun and made them 'communist' to make them better? We would cry foul pretty quickly.
Anyway, I know this is a long answer to your slam against Americans, and I'll probably get flagged as troll and/or offtopic too, but some of us are nice people who want our country to be noble again, the country other countries wished they could be. Now most of them hate us because of Bush and his policies.
They choose alcohol, or drugs, or video games, or some other distraction to take their mind off of life.
In defending one stereotype you have perpetuated another. Those of us who drink & take drugs aren't all doing it "to escape" - that's an argument used by people who demonise drink & drugs, not a truth. Drinking can focus the mind wonderfully on the problem at hand, or take your mind off it for a few hours so you can come back with a fresh perspective. Many of the world's greatest military and political thinkers and leaders were also the greatest drinkers and drug-takers; Churchill and General Grant, for example, and a whole host of drug-taking philosphers.
You can drink beer and still care about politics and the environment, and I think most of the world understands that many American people disagree with Bush. Just not of you to get him out of office, unfortunately.
