Also most of the US government has never heard of SR. They don't know we could be raiding their caravan food supplies later on in the week and making off with their women.this isnt a fucking serious answer to my questionHello killjoy,I guess you're right. In fact the platypus has rather short paws. Often it is difficult for me to even reach the keyboard, I slip through the gap between the chair and the table and it can take simply weeks to get back again into a comfortable position.Quote from: joywind on May 11, 2013, 10:20 pmchange your avatard to a man, so that people dont think you are a woman, or are you genderqueer?It has always intrigued me that people such as yourself are so interested in finding out my sex, since this is probably one of the most anonymity driven websites on earth, and are irked when I refuse to provide it. I don't give up my gender for the same reason I don't give out my nationality. Every little bit of data no matter how seemingly superfluous can be used to create a profile to narrow down the range of possibilities. Anybody with a modicum of intelligence realizes that many Nos make a Yes. That is why every institution that isn't composed of halfwits uses a NCND policy: neither confirming nor denying anything. If you have somebody's age, rough location, sex and one other piece of valid information you can frequently deanonymize them. I can say however that I am not clickflashwhirr since that makes no difference.At this point I'm not even replying to yourself, since we are unlikely to see eye to eye (you would have to get on the floor to meet my beady eyes squinting at you ferociously).To new forum members though, take the Fundamental Principal of Counting seriously. A good detective is simply a human who fully grasps the consequences of the FPOC. In order to defeat the adversary it is important to realize that anonymity is a process, not a state. You should be actively providing misinformation at the same time as being obfuscatory. The PolyFront Introduction to Anonymity contains a vitally important but simple concept, that is:QuoteThe literal definition of anonymity is a state of namelessness. A more technical definition of anonymity is the state of being indistinguishable from a given set size. As an example, imagine a closed communication interface with several hundred members. If all of the members use the name 'anonymous' to make their posts, they are indistinguishable from each other based on naming information (however, they may not be anonymous based off IP information). However, they are not indistinguishable from those who are not a part of the system. If two people have access to an anonymous suggestion box, any suggestion in the box may be anonymous but the set size is two. The higher your set size is, the more anonymous you are.-- Project PolyFront
