First off I'd like to thank you for this great program. But the weeks that are displayed seem to be wrong.-apex84 (April 14, 2011, 11:52 AM)
still part of me cant help but think - maybe it would be better not to have the highest power $500,000 a year salaray ceo, and sales people paid with giant commissions, and instead hire people who really believe in the cause.-mouser (July 04, 2006, 05:20 AM)

ehh... I would have been just as fast installing it as posting about installing it-Curt (April 14, 2011, 07:13 AM)
So my questions are:
- In your experience is auto-generation of tickets common (e.g. via email), and do you personally prefer that or not?
-JavaJones (April 13, 2011, 06:23 PM)
- In your experience do help desk departments often provide direct access to ticket creation via form?
-JavaJones (April 13, 2011, 06:23 PM)
- Do they allow access to viewing/interacting with the trouble ticket system and user's open tickets via web?
-JavaJones (April 13, 2011, 06:23 PM)
- How do you feel about this level of access for individual users?

Hm, isn't there any encryption going on between the TOR nodes? Thought there was. Nevertheless, you do need SSL/whatever, otherwise some nodes inbetween could be sniffing traffic.-f0dder (April 13, 2011, 01:16 PM)
Also, google around a bit, there's various attacks against TOR - it's not 100% security.-f0dder (April 13, 2011, 01:16 PM)
TL;DR: if you're doing anything risky (whistleblowing, hacking, or just about anything in China) you'll need to combine TOR with access from "somewhere not home" - preferably public or "borrowed" WiFi with a cloned MAC.-f0dder (April 13, 2011, 01:16 PM)
As for encryption overhead, it wouldn't be noticeable unless you had sick bandwidth - more than a saturated 100mbit link. And since TOR goes through a lot of little-guy home links, you'll be lucky to see 100kbyte/s.-f0dder (April 13, 2011, 01:16 PM)
This is such a fun topic that I must grab myself another vodka before starting in on it...

Yes, it's possible, but why would you want to?-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
Primarily curiosity.It will slow down your transfers a lot.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
Anytime encryption is involved, I assume performance will be sacrificed (that's just the nature of making any given workload bigger than it was to start with). Out side of that, is there and additional performance hit?-Stoic Joker (April 13, 2011, 06:51 AM)
Yes. The way the network works is to route traffic through many clients. This slows down traffic much more than a normal connection.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 08:52 AM)
If you could get the TOR client to act as a proxy server, then route everything through that, tada!-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
think I'm missing the distinction. A proxy is/would be at the network edge anyhow ... So why not just make it the router and then let the servers (only) bypass the Onion part?-Stoic Joker (April 13, 2011, 06:51 AM)
However you work it out, your LAN connects to the WAN. TOR acts to route traffic through its network on the WAN. So no matter what, if you're using it as a proxy from inside the LAN or setting it up as a kind of router, the effect is the same.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 08:52 AM)
I also weep... with jealousy... I used to live in Gangnam Gu in Seoul, with the fastest residential connections on the planet... and I miss them terribly...;-(

Anyways, I hope that helps point in the right direction somewhat.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 08:52 AM)
Keep up the great ideas, suggestions, clues, etc. Definitely some good ideas on this thread and I know gothic (dc server admin) will be trying some of this stuff to see if it has any effect or triggers any epiphanies.What are the chances of a file system glitch making the server think the file is smaller than it really is?Seems unlikely to me -- if that was happening, i would think the server would be experiencing much graver catastrophic crashes in all kinds of operations.-mouser (April 13, 2011, 08:12 AM)

If you're looking for anonymity, try www.iPredator.se. It's a VPN with no client records kept. They don't keep payment info, and they don't keep logs. It also slows down though. But it's easy.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 12:28 AM)
Under certain circunstancias the name text become blue or green. I don't remember why. Compressed files or so.-Contro (April 11, 2011, 07:35 AM)
I may have just got lucky, but IE9 grabbed that file and all the others at the link f0dder posted just fine on the first shot.-Stoic Joker (April 12, 2011, 03:24 PM)
I tried it again and it downloaded completely in all 3 browsers, as well as wget.-jaden (April 12, 2011, 05:00 PM)
Wonder if the gun ownership ratio made those statistics better...or worse.-40hz (April 12, 2011, 02:20 PM)
...Yeah that's right here in FL). I seem to recall reading somewhere that there was an issue with certain php download scripts that retrieved the requested file from a mysql database and were responsible for corrupted downloads. Had something to do with buffer settings iirc.-40hz (April 12, 2011, 01:26 PM)
Another data point. The initial download of http://carrolld.dcmembers.com/minecraft/2011-04-07.png in Chrome produced a 24KB file. In Firefox it stalled at 156KB and Opera stalled at 209KB.-jaden (April 12, 2011, 01:31 PM)
Done! And every time someone comments in this thread and brings it back into my unread posts, I vote again.-app103 (April 12, 2011, 07:54 AM)
@SJ - Note: this is how it works in CT at least. It may be different where you live.-40hz (April 12, 2011, 08:04 AM)
(Seriously) The last stats I saw on the news for FL was 1 in 10 for armed license holders ... And I think half the other 9 just do it anyway.Those that do not remember history are doomed to repeat it.-app103 (April 11, 2011, 10:10 PM)
(only, "E" in English is "R" in Danish.
Plus, I have to keep pressing the Alt-button, while shifting from "R" to "I")-Curt (April 11, 2011, 08:22 AM)
2. I really like project wonderful and what they stand for, and their stated goals of bringing 'fairness, transparency, and profitability to the advertising process'. But if you ask yourself the same questions about OC (i.e. are you tracked before you have a chance to opt out), the answer would be no. As soon as you go to a page with the PW ads installed, you are tracked as a necessity for payment. Even thing such as tickers at the bottom of the web page track visitors, and they don't ask you before they do so. Is the only difference between these and OC the fact that OC has to be bundled into software that you use to install other software on your machine?-wraith808 (April 11, 2011, 10:55 AM)
