WP plugin: Sprint Post This plugin makes moblogging from Sprint PCS phones really simple. I had written something like this a couple of years ago. It screen-scrapes the Sprint Picture Mail email,
downloads the picture to the server, and formats a post to display it. For those that have not tried moblogging or blogging pictures from cell phones, it can become quite the habit and really quite cool. I stopped doing this sometime ago, but the original blog still exists at http://mindfulmusings.net/moblog/
I have been receiving an increasing amount of spam, of both the comment and the email kind, from TOR which led me to the EFF homepage of TOR. With power comes enormous responsability. Anonymous proxying of data and connections can be a good thing on the one hand, but can be a big problem on the other when you consider that criminals and miscreants can easily manipulate the anonymity to suit their nefarious needs. I see this network (and all like projects) becoming a huge problem in the future.
Does this anonymity come with any responsability? Should there be accountability added to anonymity on the internet? What gives an user of TOR the authority to use/abuse their services? Does TOR hold their users responsible for their actions? More generally, does the Internet, as a medium, offer unabashed and unfettered anonymity without consequence? Is that how we, the end users of the Internet, really envision it or do we protest only when it hurts our own interests?
