  1. I never knew there was such a thing as an attorney specializing in law pertaining to lemons.

    I used to know a guy who would always make reservations under the name of "Donner" because occasionally he'd then get to hear "Donner Party - your table is ready".

    Twitter did not consent.

    Gmail did not consent (and I SURE didn't) when a lady accepted the fB offer to "Help her find her friends" by spamming everyone she had every contacted using Gmail...
    BTW, what happens to those lists of contacts once fB has spammed them?
    I'll bet they are deleted right away to avoid any appearance of data collection on non-users! Oh, sorry, that cat has been out of the bag for so long I forgot about it...

    From Wikipedia:
    "The core principle of Tor, "onion routing", was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson and computer scientists Michael G. Reed and David Goldschlag, with the purpose of protecting U.S. intelligence communications online.
    Onion routing was further developed by DARPA in 1997.[17][18][19]

    The alpha version of Tor, developed by Syverson and computer scientists Roger Dingledine and Nick Mathewson[20] and then called The Onion Routing project, or TOR project, launched on 20 September 2002.[1][21] On 13 August 2004, Syverson, Dingledine and Mathewson presented "Tor: The Second-Generation Onion Router" at the 13th USENIX Security Symposium.[22] In 2004, the Naval Research Laboratory released the code for Tor under a free license, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) began funding Dingledine and Mathewson to continue its development.[20]

    In December 2006, Dingledine, Mathewson and five others founded The Tor Project, a Massachusetts-based 501(c)(3) research-education nonprofit organization responsible for maintaining Tor.[23] The EFF acted as The Tor Project's fiscal sponsor in its early years, and early financial supporters of The Tor Project included the U.S. International Broadcasting Bureau, Internews, Human Rights Watch, the University of Cambridge, Google, and Netherlands-based Stichting NLnet.[24][25][26][27][28]

    From this period onwards, the majority of funding sources came from the U.S. government.[20]"
