       Yeah.  I still get that rubbed in my face every now and then.  I'm lucky to   
   have one friend who stays right on the bleeding edge of this kind of stuff   
   because of the development he's doing on specialized tor node plug 'n forget   
   hardware to expand the tor network quickly and cheaply.  Every once in awhile   
   he comes across something that really shows you that even if you're on the   
   bleeding edge, there will still be times when you're beaten to the punch and   
   realize that you've probably had your real name attached to everything you've   
   put out for a significant duration, unless you're using a machine with no   
   cameras, no identifying information in this OS at ALL, no microphone, a secure   
   OS, and a wireless network that you've gotten onto from a location distant from   
   your regular haunts, where nobody will see you typing.  :P
