Was trying to be witty, but really the lesson would apply to anyone trying to be anonymous on the Internet, including those who have more noble motives.

- jacquesm 10y agoIf you want to be anonymous on the internet and you are doing this for immediate and spontaneous reasons my advice to you would be to forget about whatever you were planning, likely you will not manage to maintain your anonymity. If you have a lot of knowledge in this field and a fair amount of time to prepare you may be able to pull it off but chances are you will still get a detail wrong somewhere and find yourself lifted out of bed at 3 am. In that case I hope you have a very good lawyer.
- wapz 10y agoI always figured if you had to do something illegal go to a public library you've never been to before and only use a computer once and never use it again. Also disguise yourself when you go. That being said you wouldn't be able to login to anything like twitter and you can't continue your actions very easily.
- jacquesm 10y agoFingerprints? Surveillance camera(s) in the street tracking you to you parking your car? Forgot not to take your cell phone? Did it ring while you were in the library? Did you answer if it did? Is it the city/town that you live in? Did you talk to anybody while you were there? Do you speak the language natively? Do you have any accent that might stand out? Did you go during office hours? Male or female? How big a city/town was this in anyway? Another 100 items or so? See, it is so easy to forget something, and that's before getting into any fancy CSI stuff.
- throwanem 10y agoYou need a library card to use those machines, and though it's been a while, I recall having had to show ID last time I got one of those.
