I have figured out why so many submissions are BBC pieces - The BBC RSS feed is the default on Firefox.

As to your comment re supernodes - I want to know how exactly that works. Does this mean that the actual traffic gets routed through client PC's? This means terrible communication security.

I am also interested to find/see answers re your question about NAT hole punching.

This is the point that has been made over and over again, you cannot simply throw stuff like this onto the Internet, real lives are at stake, and Mr Assange is too arrogant to realise this.

Well fair enough, but I think with child porn at least the idea is to prevent the exploitation of children.

If you possess child porn someone exploited children to make it. So even if you do not ever distribute it, a crime has been committed.

The same with drugs, possessing it means someone made it, and in the making of it people often get exploited.

Prosecuting possession is a bad way of tackling the "making of" problem, but it is one of the ways that the current system does it.

The first time you want to play an MP3 or view flash in your browser you are asked if you would want to install the relevant software.

It is really very simple.

Yeah, when you install it yourself you get the option to install the codecs and flash etc with the OS installation, but on pre-installs you do not have that option.
