Well sparcguy, TOR will be usable depending on your connection and the quality of the connection in your country as well... but it is, even so, slower than the usual connection, that's true.

And probably all (if not all some of) the major agencies not only from US have some relays themselves just to try to get information through it. I've read some stuff that says how they try to trace the information exchanged... and read it of course...

But yeah, it is safe tough. If you know at least a bit of technology and what to do and what not to do over it. But the real thing is, there is a lot of crimes that are possible to be tracked by technology, that's normal for government agecies to want to have the possibility to access all information possible. But on the other hand there's a limit to how much information is accessed and even more WHY. It must have a reason, a real good reason. And not just do it for the sake of it.

As we recently learned, (even though many have guessed probably), there are a lot of information, really personal information that can end somewhere where it shouldn't be, and instead of stopping crime there are some people just looking at it, the private information of someone. That shouldn't be done at all. Why do that? Just because they "can"?

But in general there are not really much to concern about, for example, if you use some adblock software you can stop unwanted ads, once you already pay for your bandwidth you have the right to decide or not to see ads when surfing; but of course, if someone provides you with good information, fun and et cetera and you want to help then you can let the ads on on their blogs, websites... and if you use the ads it'll be even more revenue to them.

The main thing is that you should be free to do whatever you want online. Without being spied on. But then again, some people would commit crimes (even more crimes would happen I mean) if there weren't punishment for what is done online. So that's necessary to have some control of course. Otherwise it would be a really dark place internet. We need laws everywhere. Because there are people that just don't know how to live a life that is good. They have this need to do something bad, that's what it seems to happen, like that Dexter's Dark Passenger (for analogy haha) (and should be tackled of course). But the control should only reside on log based systems for the general public (unless under rightful investigation), because IF necessary, then the data would be accessed.

That's a really huge conversation, that take a lot of time and would probably go on. We have ethics to deal with. We have a lot to deal with. We need law enforcement. But we also need respect. So that is some times a thin line that is crossed. And it seems in a lot of situations that the line is purposefully crossed... even if not necessary...

NAME

       Kwiki - The Kwiki Wiki Building Framework

KWIKI 2.0
       STOP. Don't install this CPAN module! Read this section to find out why...

       Kwiki-0.38 and the large collection of Kwiki CPAN modules has been relatively stable on CPAN for the last couple years. Being stable also
       means being undeveloped.

       In December 2006, the Kwiki community started actively developing Kwiki again. We call the revitalized project Kwiki 2.0. This is not a
       version number (at least not yet), but a code name for the effort.

       Some goals of Kwiki 2.0 are:

	 * Make Kwiki easier to install and maintain
	 * Make Kwiki fast
	 * Make Kwiki plugins easier to develop
	 * Make Kwiki more fun

       We've made a lot of headway on these goals and other goals too.

       Kwiki is *really* simple to install now. _All_ the Perl dependencies come with Kwiki, and are /preinstalled/. This means you just need Perl
       5.8.3 and a web server. Well actually we give you a web server too!

       NOTE: /Preinstalled/ means that the modules are all linked into a lib tree that is separate from your installed Perl modules. This is good
       for several reasons:

	   1) Installing modules takes a lot of time.
	   2) Kwiki is guaranteed to have module versions that work.
	   3) Kwiki doesn't change anything about your system's Perl lib.
	   4) You can delete all the modules by just deleting the Kwiki checkout.
	   5) Upgrading Kwiki is simple as 'svn update'!
	   6) You can install Kwiki without root permissions.

       Also Kwiki is now smoking fast if you use Kwiki::FastCGI. There are also some new caching modules that make Kwiki even faster still.

       The important part is this: all the new stuff is not yet on CPAN. If you want to install Kwiki, get it from our subversion repository
       (highly recommended) or tarball downloads.

       You will be amazed at how simple and fast it is to install the new Kwiki which comes with nearly 500 Perl modules. The longest part is
       simply checking out the repository. See <http://www.kwiki.org/?InstallingKwiki2> for details.

       Eventually all this work will make it back to CPAN, but likely not for a while.

       Here's the old Kwiki.pm doc. It might be a little out of date...

SYNOPSIS

	   > kwiki -new cgi-bin/my-kwiki

	   Kwiki software installed! Point your browser at this location.

NOTE

       If you are impatient (don't worry, that's a good thing!) read Kwiki::Command to get the details on how to install and configure a new Kwiki
       wiki in record time.

DESCRIPTION

       A Wiki is a website that allows its users to add pages, and edit any existing pages. It is one of the most popular forms of web
       collaboration. If you are new to wiki, visit http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors which is possibly the oldest wiki, and has lots of
       information about how wikis work.

       Kwiki is a Perl wiki implementation based on the Spoon application architecture and using the Spiffy object orientation model. The major
       goals of Kwiki are that it be easy to install, maintain and extend.

       All the features of a Kwiki wiki come from plugin modules. The base installation comes with the bare minimum plugins to make a working
       Kwiki. To make a really nice Kwiki installation you need to install additional plugins. Which plugins you pick is entirely up to you.
       Another goal of Kwiki is that every installation will be unique.  When there are hundreds of plugins available, this will hopefully be the
       case.

CGI
::Kwiki
       Kwiki is the successor of the popular CGI::Kwiki software. It is a complete refactoring of that code. The new code has a lovely plugin API
       and is much cleaner and extendable on all fronts.

       There is currently no automated way to upgrade a CGI::Kwiki installation to Kwiki. It's actually quite easy to do by hand. Instructions on
       how to do it are here: http://www.kwiki.org/?KwikiMigrationByHand

DOCUMENTATION

       All of the future Kwiki module documentation is being written at the http://doc.kwiki.org/ wiki. Check there for the latest doc, and help
       improve it. Each successive release of Kwiki will include the latest doc from that site.

CREDITS

       I am currently employed by Socialtext, Inc. They make high quality social software for enterprise deployment. Socialtext has a bold new
       vision of building their products over Open Source software and returning the generic source code to the community. This results in a
       win/win effect for both entities. You get this shiny new wiki framework, and Socialtext can take advantage of your plugins and bug fixes.

       The Kwiki project would not be where it is now without their support. I thank them.

       Of particular note, Dave Rolsky and Chris Dent are two current Socialtext employees that have made significant contributions to Kwiki.

       Iain Truskett was probably the most active Kwiki community hacker before his untimely death in December 2003. The underlying foundation of
       Kwiki has been named "Spoon" in his honor. Rest in peace Spoon.

       Ian (what's with all these Iai?ns??) Langworth has become a new Kwiki warrior. He helped a lot with the maiden release. Expect a lot of
       plugins to come from him! Thanks Ian.

       Finally, big props to all the folks on http://www.kwiki.org and irc://irc.freenode.net/#kwiki. Thanks for all the support!
