Not sure if this is right place to ask, but I did not found any better alternatives.

Anyway, I want to buy a particular e-book (epub format) and then share it with the word (well just my country actually, as I am from non-major language speaking one). The question is how to do it anonymously? As those greedy bastards will for sure try to hunt the source down.

Please advice or direct me to the right place as google-foo had failed me.

Picture kinda related it is Ching Shih, 19th Century Queen of Pirates.

You should have all plugins, whether Java, Flash, Silverlight, or anything, disabled if you want to be anonymous. Also set your user agent to IE 8 or 9. Bonus points if you're on Linux or another Unix-based OS.

Thanks for the suggestions. One last question is, does epub have some kind of DRM that I need to be aware of?

I believe it can. Ducking epub drm resulted in this. http://www.ebook-converter.com/epub-drm-removal.htm

You should also strip all metadata from it before you upload it and make sure to check for watermarks and such that could identify you.

I have 2 facebook accounts. One is my main and the other is an experimental account.
The experimental is not meant to have any interactions with my known social sphere.
I have 1 email account, used for everything except the management of the special facebook account. My main facebook has no photos on it.
My experimental has a profile picture. In my hotmail my 'display picture' shows the same display I use on the experimental account.
It is used on facebook special exclusively. I never connected the accounts.
When I go to place on hotmail where you manage accounts no facebook connection is shown, yeck, no connections what so ever have been made or are shown to have ever been made.
I did not have to facebook special and hotmail open at the same time.
No conspiracy bullshit, just tell me, how did this happen and how can I hide my tail!

shorted out psu Anonymous 13/05/05(Sun)03:55 No. 20295 ID: e03766 [Reply]

so lately i bought a new psu , the recom plus 550 to be precise.
when it came out of the box i immediatly smelled the smell of something that had burned inside, is this normal?
(i once put a 12v ac line-in into a 5v ac port, smelled just about the same)

I've bought a few electronics that smelled slightly burned when opened. As far as I can recall they worked fine.

I'm thinking it's because they were sealed they always give off this faint odour.

Only if they require a shipping address, and then you can choose to send them a different address.

>>Registry programs generally are a step above a scam at best
>several people in on here recommend DLL-files Fixer

Yea that is fine, but helper application should generally not have to be be used as 'the fix' after the fact.

I use avgfree, basic window native firewalls, ccleaner, which has a utility for the registry that merely removes unused entries.

I have never had a virus that I can think of.

I don't use or recommend extra spyware programs or overkill on security. Windows is stable if one works it right.

This site alone is one of the most old school trusted sites known http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001077.htm. <talks about registry programs in short detail

That eldergeek, techguy.org. are good along with masses of others are good references.

Yeah you're probably going to want to install a "PDF Printer" type utility and then just print out of an XPS Viewer to the PDF printer, which handles the heavy lifting of creating a PDF file.

If on GNU/Linux you can use xpstopdf too.

I cannot get into my Hotmail Account when i login it says
"It looks like someone else might be using your account" I login using Tor almost all the time problem is i dont remember the Security Question or the Info i put on there when i made it.. I can verify Anything in the account sent stuff in the body the last email i sent and who i sent it to... Microsoft cannot do anything to help me get back in..

I have important stuff in that email i need.. Anyone think of a way to bypass the message???

If you use tor, why don't you use tormail?

Have you considered NOT logging into Tor when attempting to access Hotmail? Then you can login and set your security questions and whatever else to your heart's content, then go back to downloading child porn again.

Hi guys sorry this is most likely a very basic question however after trawling through google for the last hour Im still at a loss. Will a VPN cover all connections coming from a certain device, for example would telnet connections to a remote server tunnel through the VPN service provider or will this just depend on firewall settings?


>>
Anonymous 13/05/01(Wed)01:51 No. 20277 ID: 10d6c2

It will depend on how you have your VPN client configured.

Software running on your system can still find out your actual IP address, even if you have everything sent over the VPN tunnel.

So I seem to always have the same issue with my torrents: my ISP has, twice now, throttled my connection. Now, I did install Peerblock and enable protoclol encryption, and I'm not downloading anything too terribly attention-getting (anime torrents), but twice now, I download a few things, and then when I restart my computer (last time, it was running for about a week, seeding), all goes to shit, with no solution working.

I've now moved, and it looks like my only option out here is 6-strikes Comcast. How do I circumvent this? I haven't found a concise answer amongst my IT friends, so I thought I'd ask here, and start all over again. halp?

Anonymous 13/04/25(Thu)22:13 No. 20264 ID: 375592

Set torrent to encryption only, manually throttle your connection speed down and set a schedule, most kids seem to think setting it to prefer/enable encryption is sufficient when it's not.

Even if everything is encrypted it's easy to see your data usage. most ISPs will use this info when throttling. By their judgement anyone who is constantly up/downloading at a high rate +20hrs per day must be up to no good. Setting a schedule and throttling it back will throw them off a great deal.

Anonymous 13/05/01(Wed)00:30 No. 20275 ID: 10d6c2

In addition to >>20264 suggestions, you should randomize the port used by the client at launch, so the ISP can't easily determine which application is which based on the port.

They can still figure it out based on traffic signatures, but at least it'll make their job more difficult, and throw a wrench into some kinds of historical traffic logging & analysis.
