The Onion Router
As a final project I will be implementing Tor, an internet anonymizer and privacy client both on my own laptop, and on a flash drive for portable use on any computer. The installation on my computer will be both a client and a node/server on the network.

IT on the Border and Hitachi Perpindicular Drives
6000 troops, and dancing bits who "stand up."
That is all.
That is all.

Advertising in Video Games
Who cares? Only old people try to cling to the old divide between content and advertising.
It's gone.
It's gone.

Web2.0 Again
My Research Portfolio Statetement
My research portfolio was actually going to be on Web2.0 but as I looked into the concept more I liked it less and less. Web2.0 seems hollow and empty, nothing but a buzz word designed to generate excitement over a few good concepts. AJAX, and social networking, and all such are good concepts but when they become overhyped and overused then it doesn't work as well.
For every web entrepreneur to just throw up a site bandying about the concepts of Web2.0, AJAX, Social Networking, and Tagging, doesn't turn their site into a good site. That said, there are great sites made with these ideas, and there have been great applications that I do use every day.
Nothing against Web2.0, but it is quickly turning into another web bubble.

Mr. Kaczynski Link Dump
Wikipedia
Ship of Fools
Hit It Where It Hurts
Manifesto
Educated at Harvard and the University of Michigan in mathematics. Later became a technorejectionist, anarchist advocate of violent direct action to advance an extreme progressive agenda. Like Zizek in supporting coalitions and a universal struggle but directs movement and the necessary revolution against the technoindustrial complex instead of against complex. Blames technology for patriarchy, capitalism, heternormativity, anthropocentrism, racism, and everything else wrong with the world.
Brilliant but misguided.

The Dark Side of the Internet
The internet has many dark sides, but they are no darker than the dark corners of real life. Each temptation and each danger are merely another test for our morality. It should not be up to the goverment to regulate and destroy these dark corners but for each individual to personally take responsibility and pass them by. The internet did not create crime, and it will not be possible to eradicate internet crime.
