Title: Journey To The Center of The Archives
Post by: JesseFromVegas on January 17, 2014, 06:52:18 PM
I can't be the only one time-travelling my way through the epochs of Best Show past that I'm not familiar with, right?

I have so many questions!  Can anyone explain what the story with people like Stevie Blue and Zippy Pants and He Who Shall Not Be Named (I'm vaguely familiar with the grossness that made him persona non grata eventually) and people like that.  Anyone care to sherpa me through the illustrious past?

I have all my MP3s on shuffle and I randomly hit the Gleason Jones Memorial Show yesterday.  Amazing stuff.

I always found the unnameable one's weirdo friends better value than himself

Somali (Tsunami) Tommy and Kate the Great from Upstate would at least let Tom speak between their mind-melting drunken rambles

And I hope I will be forgiven for this, but their entry in the song contest is occasionally sung in my car

What the hell is the deal with Tor?

Tor (previously an acronym for The Onion Router)[4] is free software for enabling online anonymity. Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than five thousand relays[5] to conceal a user's location or usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult to trace Internet activity, including "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms", back to the user[6] and is intended to protect the personal privacy of users, as well as their freedom and ability to conduct confidential business by keeping their internet activities from being monitored. An extract of a Top Secret appraisal by the NSA characterized Tor as "the King of high secure, low latency Internet anonymity" with "no contenders for the throne in waiting".[7]
