Do You Need to Surf Anonymously?

An anonymous reader writes "Computerworld has up an article entitled 'How to Surf Anonymously without a Trace'. It purports to offer tips on how to avoid detection by anyone attempting to monitor your internet access. 'If you don't like the limitations imposed on you by [proxy] sites like the Cloak or would simply prefer to configure anonymous surfing yourself, you can easily set up your browser to use an anonymous proxy server to sit between you and the sites you visit. To use an anonymous proxy server with your browser, first find an anonymous proxy server. Hundreds of free, public proxy servers are available, but many frequently go offline or are very slow. Many sites compile lists of these proxy servers, including Public Proxy Servers and the Atom InterSoft proxy server list.'"

I don't know why people need to surf anonymously.

I think in most cases it's because they are embarrassed in what they are doing.

So if you are doing something that you don't want people to know you are doing, my question is, what the hell is wrong with you?

If your married, and your wife doesn't want you looking at porn, then she should offer alternatives or shut up.

If your a pedophile, then I hope you get arrested, because that is what you deserve.

Why do people do things anonymously that they wouldn't do if their name was stamped on it? I think the world would be a lot better place if everyone took responsibility for what they said and what they did.

It's like Hawkeye Pierce said, "there should be a rule in war that before you kill somebody you have to get to know them.".
