> "there has been a whopping 100 percent increase in the number of Tor clients
Half of them in those new, billion-dollar data centers, no doubt. Maybe they can't crack the traffic yet, but they could get relatively accurate dynamic topologies, and use their other, non-Tor nodes, also judiciously placed around in Internet backbones, to learn connections to individual computers.
In fact, I'll go one further. A hundred years from now, the same people (descendants, anyway) whining about too much carbon will be whining about too little as giant procesing plants suck it out for everything from internal combustion engine fuel to plastics to god knows what.
"We're starving plants!" they will (correctly) yelp. "We're gonna induce a new ice age!" they will (correctly) worry.
I'm surrounded by idiots, cogs serving memes spreading and reproducing.
100 years from now will be far more different than now is from 1913. Keep technological progress in high gear. That yields far greater results than everything else put together.
They would have worried about stuff we find trivial or irrelevant. Wherefore crush the economy if in 50 years robots can move everything trivially, or giant vats of bacteria can produce fossil fuels, so to speak, pulling it out of the air, making the use neutral again?
Not only do not worry (too much) about it, the usual command and control solutions will slow this tech growth, leaving us worse off, not better. 2013 tech in 2013 is way better for quality of life than 1973 tech in 2013 -- or 1953.
Few people do, in spite of repeated counter-inuitive predictions that came true over and over again. He's currently body-slamming the Peak Oil crowd, the latest incarnation of this 1970s nonsense.
As physical constraints tighten, in a free economy, people will produce alternatives, called substitutions, all along the use chain. Net effect is they keep ahead of he shortage curve, and things get cheaper and cheaper -- sans government market interventions like rationing and (market-limited) licensing.
What most people commenting on this don't realize is that roads will be less congested. A lot of time savings will be squeezed out of slowing and accellerating in heavier traffic as computers will avoid this dynamic process caused by lack of info in human drivers and slowness of response in human drivers.
When a big group of cars all know they are computer-controlled they can move as a unit with less worry some idiot 3 cars ahead will slam on he brakes.

It's more profitable to havve the robot ask you what each thing is and where it goes, then it will know for future reference. Just like a human child. A general-purpose recognizer is unneeded. Just recognizing an object separate from background is all that's needed, if non-trivial itself.
One could argue omniprovident, and hus omni-interfering and taxing, government is the driver in the US's declin, like Europe's before t, and reduction in same in China's rise.
The kind of omniprovidence built on memes that weight highly things like government-provided Internet, on top of, let's make something up, 92,475 other products and services. Anyone think that is an overestimate?
The more you step on its throat, the more help it needs, so the harder you step, and people flee with their money.

Apparently less than with human drivers.
They need to make these loaded with cameras for the inevitable lawyer scams. Then scammers, in conjunction with scam lawyers, can't get into a he said it said argument.
You conflate welfare with social programs. Social security, legally defined as a welfare program, also counts, and is far and away the biggest share of this.
Good luck convincing any politician to reduce social security payments to everyone by a dollar a month to fund this.

I keep saying setting rules agents "are supposed to follow" isn't good enough, and should be constitutionally invalid in the computer age.
The rules against warrantless searches have to do with political spying, not mundane spying, even on girlfriends by jackasses. If they can get away with this, operatives working for someone powerful can get away with tapping an opponent's phones.
They need security software that cannot be bypassed that logs everything in incorruptible logs for future review, and auto-stored at multiple sites without delete communication (someone at any given site cannot send out a signal to alter or delete logs at other sites.)
This is not technically that hard to do but it needs to be done.

Somebody has to actually have fun playing the game for the first time instead of looking it up on the wiki.
I wouldn't rule out their lawyer having a chat with them about potential liability. When it's about money, it's about money.
7:30 AM still can't get there via name. Interesting.
Update: Candidate Obama agrees with me.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator -- Hmmmmm, I will wait a few more days.
If only the president would ask Congress first, as the Constitution requires for non-immediate threat issues. Approval, not notification.
Can't tell but it seems this is not about the dancing bear of OCR but rather its use and package layout?
If so, of even less interest.
Time was, politicians got elected saying, " I will not send your boys off to fight and die in any foreign war."
It was a lie back then, too.

You posted this twice -- once with each body?

I don't know, I downloaded everything at the OP's link, and now nothing works.

10 minutes ago, a hover-over of the main picture yielded "583 people are viewing this per hour". 10 minutes later just now, it's up to 592.
As more people wake up this number should go up.
The point is to make Lockheed or whoever else pay him his 10%.

I have nothing to add.
Apparently, just like him.
