According to the website, "Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis." <a href="http://www.torproject.org/download.html.en#Warning" rel="nofollow">Beware</a>, however, as the site will explain, you should not just download the installation and continue web surfing.

Seems to be a popular theme with the sciency types. :) Also of note, physicist Stephen Hawkings entitled a book of his “On the Shoulders of Giants.” Seems to be a popular theme with the sciency types. :)

–Malraux, 1947, Le Musée Imaginaire

Some say 1984’s more about the BBC (where Orwell worked) than the USSR, but the novel is open to so many interpretations, n’est-ce pas?

Animal Farm is deeper really, and now we’re farming minds in cyberspace, we should give it a shout too.

Me, my favourite line in all of Orwell comes in Down and Out in Paris and London, when a fellow tramp, invited by Orwell to rest in a public library declines with the line, ‘No, de sight of all dat bloody print makes me sick.’
