    Stop voting for these fucking politicians.

    It's not difficult, change the people who make the laws.

    Learn what you potential future politicians actually have done in the past and stop listening to the bullshit that spews from their mouths and campaigns.

    Vote out these life time politicians.

    Stop sitting on your lazy ass and make an actual effort instead of whining that it doesn't matter.

    Apathy changes nothing.

    The president DOES NOT MAKE LAWS, so stop giving him all your attention and vote for specific people in congress. Next time around, vote them out when the lie to you.

    It's a really good solution! It protects privacy, it's supported/maintained by really smart people who want to protect privacy, and (when using the most current version) gives the user strong privacy.

    No, it doesn't, can you not read the title of the web browser you're using? Ignorance is exactly WHY its a shitty solution to the problem. People think it magically makes them safe when it does no such thing.

    Who cares who else uses Tor? Who cares whether it creates protocol problems? Who cares whether pedophiles or botnets use the system?

    Lots of sensible people. Those same people are smart enough not to put private shit on the Internet int he first place, which you clearly seem to ignorant to do. What kind of stupid response is this crap? Do you like spam? You want to use a network thats so plugged up with various forms of spam that you can't get a packet through to a useful host?

    Tor won't solve your privacy problems, you think broadcasting them on a public network is a good idea. No amount of software will prevent you from doing stupid shit to give away all of your privacy.

    The important bit, the one that has value to *me*, is that it can hide my identity.

    There is no 'astroturfing' here, just your ignorance. Its not hiding you, you just don't get it yet.

    Everything you've listed as being private except online banking doesn't belong on the Internet. If you're hiding your self from your bank, there are so many other fucked up things in your world that continuing to reply is clearly a waste of time.

    If you don't want people to know those things, Tor isn't the solution. Not putting it on a public network in the first place is.

    Tor is a shitty solution because of ignorant statements by ignorant people like you. If you want privacy, get a clue and act like it.

    You're ignorant of well known and cited reports about Tor usage.

    Tor is a shitty solution to wanting privacy. Instead of ranting and ruffling around trying to look cool on slashdot perhaps you should get off your ass and act in that place called 'the real world' and stop voting for assholes who erode our privacy in far more damaging ways.

    To go a step further, having the private key after the session handshake doesn't do you any good either. You have to participate, NOT WATCH, the handshake in order to know the actual encryption key used for the session.

    If I had every private key in the world right now, it would do me no good in decrypting any SSL sessions I recorded. The certificate is simply used to authenticate who is on the other end, it does nothing with the encryption key negotiation process which requires you to be part of the conversation, actively participating in it, not just watching it.

    The actual keys used to encrypt the session are generated on each end based on the numbers sent during the initial exchange, but neither side ever fully sends or provides enough information to determine the key.

    Its all very complicated math, but the end result is that a private key is only useful for impersonating a host, not decrypting the session. They become useful because you can do a man in the middle attack where you pretend to be the real 'me' and so I don't know that I'm negotiating encryption keys with the wrong person.
