Interesting read. Thanks for posting.

I'd like to see the darknet. :eek:

I was going to type Drink Your Ovaltine, but the third or fourth comment in the linkage beat me to it.

TOR, short for The Onion Router, is an obscure routing network that allows anonymous access to the "darknet” – the vast, murky portion of the internet that cannot be indexed by standard search engines. Estimated to be 5,000 times larger that the "surface" web (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/10456108/David-Cameron-wins-FBI-support-for-dark-web-war-on-paedophiles.html), it’s in these recesses where you’ll find human-trafficking rings, black market drug markets and terrorist networks. And it’s here where the Cicada path ended.

Wow, it sure is big and full of evil.:eek:

DJ, are you playing with TOR?

[DJofSD]

Nope. Got too much else going on to let myself get wrapped up going down that rabbit hole.

And then there's golf. Father/son charity event will burn up lots of time this weekend.

I like the rabbit hole "Bugs" steps out of in the clouds, takes a few steps
and starts falling. This is the stuff that is designed by nerds for nerds. It
gets them salivating profusely. It is a sort of "War of the Nerds" as in "War
of the Worlds." They can't get enough of it so they journey on to the end
of time if necessary. It would not surprise me if the cast from the "Big Bang
Theory" were not involved in some way, minus the one that isn't a doctor
of course.
