Tor Now Comes In a Box

Daniel_Stuckey writes "Tor has been in the spotlight lately as a way to keep prying eyes away from your online activities. However, to your average internet user, the covert network of relays and whatchamacallits can come off as too complex and intimidating to bother with — even as people are increasingly concerned with their online privacy in light of the NSA scandal. So goes the thinking behind Safeplug, a new hardware adapter that basically puts Tor in a box. It takes 60 seconds and 50 bucks to plug the privacy box into your router, and you're good to go, the company claims. Like anonymous browsing for dummies. The adapter comes from hardware company Pogoplug, which announced its new product yesterday and hopes it will bring Tor to the mass market by offering more consumer-friendly access. 'We want to just take what is currently available today to a more technical crowd and democratize it, making it easier to use for an average user,' CEO Dan Putterman told GigaOM."

Make it easy?

Have you installed TOR on a winders box recently? It is not complicated and certainly does not need a geek to help you.

We are fucked.

Really, this is weapons grade idiocy, truly epic.

millions of lives
"Yes, we initially wanted single payer, and we had to compromise back in 2009 for the Affordable Care Act. But, it is a damn good piece of legislation that has already saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives." Didja catch that peeps? "millions of lives" indeed.

First of all, I truly don't know who this idiot is, I assume he is some brain damaged rap artist or something like that.

"hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives"

This is what Democrats really think. Facts have no relevance or meaning in their lives. They *want* millions to be saved by Obama, and that's all that is really needed, the *fact* that they want it to happen is in itself an end. They want to do good, they say they are doing good, good, therefore must be happening.

In many ways it is the public school system, teachers unions and the media that is responsible for this. This nonsense cannot happen if we have an intelligent capable and moral citizenry; we clearly do not.

Oh and it get's better;

"I know where Republicans stand. They have voted 47 times to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so their stance is clear. If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t pay for your medical expenses, declare bankruptcy. If you have a pre-existing condition, they’ll send you a get well card when you’re on your death-bed."

All of these things are lies. Lies that cannot be substiantiated in any way - but that doesn't matter because no one will call him on this dishonesty - no one will hold this man, or any of them to account. Republicans are the go to bad guys, the Reapers of Firefly, the Indians of your cowboys-n-indians movies, the Jews of Nazi Gernamy, the Kulaks of the USSR. You have to have a class of bad-guys to blame and distract the masses with so they do not focus their attention on the truly evil ones, the directors of this madness. The Democrats.

If you haven't read We The Living by Ayn Rand I strongly suggest it - it's a short read and worth your time. Gwan people, think outside the box for once, don't take your dogma to be gospel, challenge the authorities for a change! Think for yourself. Note I am not suggesting you blindly follow my thinking, I am honestly telling you to do your own homework, make your own decisions, challenge your own assumptions! "Question Authority" used to be the anti-establishment meme of the truly hip and cool crowd was it not? What happened to you people?

Because I can tell you for a fucking fact, Obamacare hasn't saved no millions of lives, you can be dammned sure of that. So think people, use the brains god gave you and go and find out how many lives the lightbringer has in fact saved. You will be surprised.

What's more, and no doubt is completely beyond the capacity of this Russell Simmons to understand, as one can hardly believe this chap has any understanding of history or economics in any real sense, is this;

Statism, under it's various forms (socialism, communism, fascism, whatever) is a *real* cause of death in numbers that just leave you feeling ill. Don't take my word for it, go look it up if you need to - you shouldn't have to of course if you went to high school, but the information is out there. We don't need to talk about hard numbers as there are so many discussions of this all over the history books and various web sites and suchlike. If yoiu want numbers go find them.

No political ideology has killed more people than statism; period. You can talk all you want about religeon and the like, whatever. That isn't the point.

Statism (socialism, communism, whatever you want to call it) always evolves into a tryanny and most often a dictatorial one, where the killing of anyone and everyone who disagrees with the state is the order of the day. This is an un-deniable-fact.

Now I am not saying Obama is a Nazi and want
