The cost of anonymity
2008-03-27 20:26:00 I’m sure this is a sore fact for many web developers, but websites don’t always work. CAPTCHA images are often badly compiled so that meaningless symbols look like legitimate characters, or verification emails fail to reach the registrant’s inbox. As someone who likes to try out lots of different social media sites (among many others) this can become an increasing source of frustration, because web developers are making their lives easier by making users’ lives harder. But this isn’t the problem for me: as an experienced web developer who works on big enterprise projects (thus projects that may lure in spammers, harvesters and other bots) I’m well aware that there are necessary steps that need to be taken to ensure the people using these sites are people, and not mechanical creatures of the digital underworld. No, what really gets my goat is that when these systems fail (when CAPTCHA imags don’t validate or verification emails just don’t get sent), you’re completel...
Censorship & Federal Ban on Anonymity
2008-03-12 07:47:00 Correction:Rep. Couch is a member of the Georgia State Legislature. His proposed bill is state, not federal.YNET News reports on the whining about Geert Wilders' upcoming film about the demon's book. Their report contains two crucial quotations. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Safari cited the 1948 Human Rights declaration's 29th article that individual rights may be limited in the interest of respecting other people's freedoms and "meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society." My right of free expression, guaranteed by the first amendment to the United States Constitution, is not in conflict with any other right of any person. There is no right to be sheltered from the truth. Rights & obligations must be reciprocal, they are not one sided. Muslims refer to us as "sons of apes and pigs", the expression derives from the demon's book. That same book invokes the demon's curse upon us. Guess what they p...

How Internet Censorship Works
2008-02-23 07:49:00 "One of the early nicknames for the Internet was the "information superhighway" because it was supposed to provide the average person with fast access to a practically limitless amount of data. For many users, that’s exactly what accessing the Internet is like. For others, it’s as if the information superhighway has some major roadblocks in ...

But in fact anonymity is everywhere and no history of English Literature is complete without it. Donne, Marvell, Defoe, Swift, Fanny Burney, Austen, Byron, Thackeray, Lewis Carroll, Tennyson, George Eliot, Sylvia Plath and Doris Lessing - all chose to conceal their names.

Johnny Depp Says He Wants Anonymity

They get tired of you," the actor tells Esquire magazine in its January issue, available Friday. "`Didn't you used to be Johnny Depp?' That will be the clincher."The 44-year-old star of "Sweeney Todd," which opens Christmas Day, talked with the magazine about the lessons he's learned over his two decades in Hollywood.His friend and mentor Marlon Brando taught Depp to keep his private life private."That's your world and it's nobody else's business," he recalls Brando saying. "It's not anybody's entertainment."A self-described people-watcher, Depp says he's learned to enter restaurants through the kitchen and hotels through the parking garage."It'll definitely make you a little weird if you're constantly being stared at," he says.While he loves his work, Depp says he's "not a great fan of all the stuff that goes along with it.""I don...

Lesson From Tor Hack: Anonymity and Privacy Are not the Same
2007-09-30 00:00:00 Tor is a free tool that allows people to use the internet anonymously. Basically, by joining Tor you join a network of computers around the world that pass internet traffic randomly amongst each other before sending it out to wherever it is going. Imagine a tight huddle of people passing letters around. Once in a while a letter leaves the huddle, sent off to some destination. If you can't see what's going on inside the huddle, you can't tell who sent what letter based on watching letters leave the huddle.

Blogging : Nicknames, Anonymity and Ethics
2007-09-15 09:35:00 I've come across a few online discussions on the wisdom of using your own name for blogging and online comment. Most commentators I've read are opposed to using their name. Mention was made of potential hazards - such as repercussions from relatives, the possibility of losing friends or even being fired if someone takes exception to your opinion or allegiances.Quite a few people use their real name for blog titles, but I would definitely suggest that for random posting of comment on the net you should use a nickname at all times, or at least a first name only. To people who are net savvy this is blatantly obvious, but new or inexperienced users aren’t always aware of potential hazards. These hazards tend to increase when you are perceived to be going out in your own name, especially if the blog operator or commentators on the blog take strong exception to your opinion.Some of the dangers include having your comments edited. This can go all the way from a ‘friendly’ edit, t...

Senate May End an Era of Cloakroom Anonymity
2007-08-02 06:57:00 One of he main points the Democrats used to their advantage during the midterms in ’06 was casting the Republicans as having a “Culture of Corruption” and how the Democrats would clean it up. Anyone that believed that was a fool and I hope they realize that now. If anything the Democrats have made the Congress less transparent. Case in point is how they are “air dropping” earmarks into bills at a point totally outside of public scrutiny and too late for any challenges or changes to be made. The Democrats made many promises of what they would accomplish in their first 100 hours and guess how much they did? Uhhh nothing. No real shock there though. I just flat do not believe the Democrats are capable let alone willing to do anything to clean up the system. As far as stopping the anonymous holds on bills, no way will they do a thing to clean that up, take my word for it. ~RJH New York times article link Senate May End an Era of Cloakroom AnonymityBy CARL HULSEPublished: August 2...

WaPo Op-Ed Laugher: Anonymity On The Internet Cheapens Messenger’s Me
2007-05-14 20:12:00 A concept the Mainstream Media has never understood; not yesteryear when they had forged a monopoly on “The Press” of our Founding Fathers and not even today as they struggle for their very survival: the value of a Citizen’s words — spoken or written under a shroud of anonymity or not. Case in point: to this very day, one must reveal their full name if they wish to have their Letters To The Editor printed in the vast majority of the nation’s newspapers, which is a very large part of the reason they are dying and blogs like this one are taking some of their marketshare. Many people for various reasons choose to zip their lips in face-to-face settings; people with great ideas, interesting points of view, and valuable food for thought, but you’ve got to take off the mask if you wish the MSM to give you a listen. The MSM doesn’t realize it yet, but this is a dying concept. As MSM’er Tom Grubisich demonstrates in his Op-Ed piece in The ...

Pacquiao's foe Solis enjoys anonymity
2007-04-12 04:47:00 John WhislerExpress-News Uncle Sam has the witness protection program. Boxing has Jorge Solis. "All you need to know about me," he said, "is that I'm a Mexican fighter, and I come to beat Manny Pacquiao." Solis, Pacquiao's scheduled opponent Saturday night at the Alamodome, is the fighter no one knows about. His record, 32-0 with two draws, suggests he belongs in a main event. But his name and résumé suggest undercard. While Pacquiao has fought many of the top names in the sport — Erik Morales (three times), Marco Antonio Barrera and Juan Manuel Marquez — Solis has fought only one recognizable name In 2004, he fought Humberto Soto, best known for his 2005 upset of Houston star Rocky Juarez. But the fight ended in a no contest in the third round after Solis suffered a deep gash from an unintentional head butt. Since then, he has fought mostly fighters just coming up, such as Lizardo Moreno and Adalberto Bor...

Redskin player involved in Steroids scandal could lose anonymity
2007-03-14 20:56:00 Back in February I wrote briefly on a Signature Pharmacy raid in Orlando with a revealing client list; an unnamed "member of the Washington Redskins" was mentioned as a Signature customer in that investigation. Per moral crusaders PFT per the NY Daily News, we might just get the name of that player soon: Albany District Attorney David Soares said yesterday he will take the names of any athlete who was buying drugs from two pharmacies involved in a nationwide steroid investigation and forward them to the leagues they play for, including the National Football League and Major League Baseball. Those players ultimately could be called as witnesses against the distributors and physicians who are the targets of Soares' ongoing investigation, known as "Operation Which Doctor." Oh snizzap investigators! What a delightful operational sobriquet. Your clever word smithery makes me wonder how you find the time to get any law enforcin' done.
