Paraphrasing "L'avenir des blindes lourds en question^1," or better: reasoning
with a similar [sound] logic ... "do non privacy-enhanced proxies still have a
future?," here I am asking:
what does Juliusz think of merging into polipo privoxy's best [privacy
enhancing] features, possibly with the assistance of the privoxy development
team?
A configuration such
Tor [on demand]
Privoxy
Polipo
can already be set up. But there is duplication of functionality, of
code, twice of configuration files to maintain, non-uniformity/perhaps
overabundance of libraries in use, double bugs, more ports in use, more
complexity serialized, etc.
It goes beyond god and evil [read: one needs to live under a rock to have
the excuse to be such naive] to think that privacy/anonymity *enhancements*
related to the use of the Internet anno 2008, that is within an imperial/new
world order war, are mere extras or options.
Cheers,

1. L'avenir des blindes lourds en question [Roy: a no OT article and
indeed a COGENT^2 example ... just use algebra]
http://www.voltairenet.org/article156960.html
Depuis Paris/France, 7 mai 2008
Commentant la destruction massive de chars Merkava [Roy: read: state of the
art tanks] par le Hezbollah et la defaite israelienne qui s'en est suivie,
Thierry Meyssan ecrivait dans nos colonnes en septembre 2006: "On doit
d'ailleurs se demander si la guerre du Liban ne va pas marquer la fin des
chars, comme la bataille d'Azincourt marque celle des chevaliers en armures."
A l'epoque, l'imputation de la destruction massive de Merkava avait ete
contestee par divers commentateurs militaires et la question de l'avenir des
chars tournee en derision.
Pres de deux ans plus tard, les faits ont ete etablis par le Commission
Winograd en Israel. Et l'utilite des chars sur ce type de champ de bataille
est mise en cause en Australie dans le cadre de la reflexion sur le nouveau
livre blanc de la Defense. Le 2 mai, l'Australian Strategic Policy Institute a
meme incite le gouvernement Rudd a remettre en cause le contrat signe par son
predecesseur pour l'acquisition de 59 chars Abrams etats-uniens. Les experts
font observer que "bien que [ce blinde] offre une bonne protection contre
les premieres generations d'armes anti-tanks portees a l'epaule aujourd'hui
repandues dans la region [oceanienne], il est vulnerable aux systemes avances
russes qui proliferent desormais partout, notamment au Proche-Orient."
2. Angelus Novus, by Walter Benjamin -- read the book: somewhere inside,
Benjamin elaborates that *something* that makes me tell that the example I
have used above [but I could have used another one on aircraft carriers too]
is: cogent.
