    Wikipedia:Advice to Tor users in China
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Jump to: navigation, search

    Tor is often blocked from editing due to its use by vandals. This presents a problem for Wikipedia users in mainland China, who currently (January 2006) can't edit Wikipedia by normal methods. Luckily there is another way, until such time as the Chinese authorities read this page and close the loophole. The solution is to edit your main Privoxy configuration file as shown below.

    Please note that this introduces a significant privacy vulnerability. Your traffic to Wikipedia will be unencrypted and will give away your real IP address. Furthermore, any contentious webpage could be modified to include an image from Wikipedia, either by the author or any attacker who can modify the content. Then by gaining access to the traffic to or from the proxy, or the Wikipedia logs, the attacker can discover who is browsing the contentious webpage.

    This configuration change should be considered to remove all privacy that Tor provides and if used, only perform your edits on Wikipedia which you are happy to be associated with. Doing anything else while this configuration is active puts your privacy at risk.

    The Tor forward line should already be there, you would have added it when you installed Tor. The important thing is that the Wikipedia lines must be after the Tor line.

    This will give you unencrypted communications to the Wikipedia servers, and will allow the Wikipedia servers to determine your real IP address, for the purpose of blocking vandals. It should be faster than using Tor.

    Wow. That's incorrect. But whatever, I know it's what they teach in school these days. In their own words:

    According to our first President: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible."

    John Adams:
    "The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: 'It connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity."

    "The Christian religion is, above all the Religions that ever prevailed or existed in ancient or modern times, the religion of Wisdom, Virtue, Equity, and Humanity."

    Thomas Jefferson:
    "The reason that Christianity is the best friend of Government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart."

    "I am a real Christian, that is to say, a cisciple of the doctrines of Jesus. I have little doubt that our whole country will soon be rallied to the unity of our Creator."

    John Adams and John Hancock:
    "We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!" [April 18, 1775]

    Alexander Hammilton:
    "I have a tender reliance on the mercy of the Almighty, through the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am a sinner. I look to Him for mercy; pray for me."

    Quantify "nothing". Minnesota has used a lot of the money they've gotten to build ethanol refineries. I'm sure other states have used funds in similar fashions, but it would be interesting to see where this money was spent and what were the results.

    Of course, many technologies take a lot longer than 6 years to go from the lab to the open market.

    I think it was refreshing to see Bush, who is obviously at the very least "friendly" with the oil industry, at least speak about working on alternative fuel sources. And he didn't even mention ANWAR (or is it ANWR?).
