This paper and its implications totally blew my mind.  You'll probably enjoy it more if you've dabbled into the black art known as "Information Studies".  Enjoy:

Pardon all the sensationalist lingo, this is written by Microsoft so of course its a little biased.  "Darknet"?  Oh yes it's all very evil, very dark very sinister  :roll:  Some of the points addressed in the first paragraph of section 5.2 were of particular interest to me.

Darknets have been discussed previously on this board. It's a really really hard problem (complexity of routing without having a hierarchical system isn't really a solved problem as far as I'm aware). I'll believe it when they actually show me a working and scalable implementation.

Oops, sorry to dig up a previously discussed topic.  I realize that its a hard problem.  The main thing that I took out of it is that as the cost to reproduce and transfer digital objects goes down (storage, memory and bandwith improve) it becomes easier and easier to access any information one might desire. 

BTW, your sig's picture cracked me up when I took a second look at it  :lol:

It's not bad to revive an old topic... I was just curious about whether you were pulling our legs, because you were so enthusiastic about a ten-year-old article about a topic that was super-popular a couple of years ago. There is nothing wrong with that, BTW, we just get trolled so heavily that my first response was lolwut.

There's some pretty active discussion about it on Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/darknetplan

Hmmm, as a previous troll on this very board I can see where you are coming from  :lulz:

Honestly though I just try to get excited about everything I read, I actually stumbled upon it after spending some time in the (pseudo) darknet of onionland.
