Living with the surveillance state

and i thought you just said it was anonimity. make up your mind 'cos the two are different things. and never mind that it's also false as you clearly explain (and contradict yourself) in the rest of your sentence, good job ;).

as for picking a lock and whatnot, you clearly have zero experience with real life locks (and rootkits and other buzzwords, these things have about nothing in common) so maybe stay away from the topic, pretty please? ;)

as for the logic... it's really simple. if you state that you don't believe in technical measures yet you rely on them (=afraid of disclosing where exactly you do) then that's a clear case of hypocrisy, simple as that. my point is that the world isn't black and white where one or another measure dominates everything else, rather it's a careful balance that one has to adapt to his own circumstances (in different parts of the world you'll get away with a different mix of social/technical/etc measures).
