Yeah, especially since the cat is out of the bag. It takes all of 3-4 minutes for anybody to get on and activate an account.


Looking around is interesting, though.

Ah, nothing beats making posts about drugs on an internet chatboard  at 5:50am on a Monday morning, no?

I may have you beat...I was up at 4:49am this morning, unable to get a full night of sleep for a second straight night. I blame it on the steriods I'm on to clear up the poison ivy. Should make my mid-morning lunchbreak run a breeze.

If you plan to have kids, don't bother fixing your sleep routine until you're ready to tie your tubes because those little pukes will just stomp it into submission.

Plus, I get up before them anyway. Even on weekends.

My daughter sleeps in.  But my boy has always been an early bird.  He's 7 now, so I get a bowl of cereal ready for him to fix in the morning.  He does that, then messes with his legos for hours and hours.  I love having my mornings back. 

Nights were always pretty good for me...I'm a bedtime nazi and don't put up with any crap, and they've always slept through the night.  But my son.  Holy crap.  When he was 3 or 4 he used to literally wake up at 4 in the morning and would be like "Dad let's wrestle!!!".  uggh.

Has anyone else messed with the tor network/hidden internet? Probably something I have no business looking through but it's fascinating. And what I've seen is supposedly barely scratching the surface. I've read of  organ markets, assassination markets, people looking to sell radioactive material and a plethora of classified government documents buried in there.

I've heard of it and even a good explanation of how it works but it was all a little more than I knew how to reach. Sounded like a bit torrent internet provider but didn't have a clue how to hook up with it. One of those things that I wasn't interested in using at the time but wanted to store in the back of my head if the need ever arose.

Never heard about it being used for black market items and services but the way some people are, it doesn't surprise me. What I heard was that the guy who started Wikileaks (not Julian Asange but some other guy) was using it, I guess with Julian and others, to share information. In fact, this was the guy who was explaining the system. What appealed to me most was that it's an ideal means to communicate if they decide to throw the kill switch for the internet at some point. In fact, if I recall correctly, this was the means of how information was getting out of Egypt when the shit hit the fan there. Freedom of information!

Yeah; Wikileaks has a bunch of mirrors on there. I have not heard about people in Egypt using it to communicate during the revolution but that does make sense. Once you are on it, you are rerouted through other IP addresses so that you become untraceable. My first post in this thread, for instance, shows some address from Germany as my IP. The rerouting process does slow your connection down considerably, though.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says his life has a single, simple purpose: ?I like crushing bastards.? That sentiment sounds noble, until you find out just how flexible his definition of ?bastards? is.

?All of us came across material which was clearly likely to lead to the death of innocent civilians if we published it,? recalls a journalist who worked with Assange on the release of 90,000 secret U.S. military documents on the war in Afghanistan. ?All of us had the experience of bringing this to his attention and being told by him, in effect, if an Afghan civilian helps coalition forces, he deserves to die.?

It is a lecture from the Tor developers on how it has been/is being censored in China, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, etc. It is a bit long and some of the technical stuff they get into is a little over my head but still worth watching.
