The Drawbacks of Anonymous Surfing
BlueCup writes to tell us that one reporter decided to give anonymous web surfing a shot, and found it to be much more trouble than it was worth. Many users take advantage of Tor and other anonymous web browsing tools, but is the amount of hassle worth the effort it takes to remain anonymous?
Nonsense. Flamewars are supposed to be fun, you fucker!
Man is a slave because freedom is difficult, whereas slavery is easy.
I looked up how to evade taxes online and I got slammed by the government. I couldn't believe it! How did they know I was planning to not pay my taxes?! I didn't fill out the tax forms and they still got me! The thing is though. I was using an anonomiser when I was looking up the tax evasion stuff, and that did NOTHING. They're a bloody waste of slow page loading time. The only thing I can tell you is to play by the rules and don't look up anything that might get you in trouble. This is the sort of world we live in. We outnumber the poloticians but we still get kicked around. I guess this is the price we pay for public health care.
