The Linksys E2500 is the budget true dual-band router, and the third tier after the E3200 and the top-notch E4200 in the refreshed E series of Wireless-N routers that Cisco announced a while back. Compared with the other two, the E2500 lacks Gigabit Ethernet, a USB port, and support for the 450Mbps wireless speed, but it's also much more affordable at just around $70.
Similar to the other E series models, the E2500 is good-looking and especially easy to use for novice and home users, thanks to the included Cisco Connect software. In our testing, however, the router was comparatively slow, especially on the 2.4GHz band, and offered limited range. For this reason, it's only good for small spaces, such as a dorm room or an apartment. Those who need a more viable and robust network should spend a little more for a more powerful router, such as the E4200 or the Editors' Choice Award-winning RT-N56U from Asus.
Design and ease of use
The Linksys E2500 looks almost the same as the Linksys E3200 minus the USB port. The router comes in a flat, UFO-shaped design with internal antennas. It's made to stay flat on a surface and is not wall-mountable.
On the back the E2500 has four LAN ports and one WAN port. All of these ports are traditional 10/100 Ethernet. Also on the back, you'll find the button for the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) feature and the power connector. On the front, the new E2500 doesn't have the usual array of status LEDs. In fact, the router has no indicator lights at all except for the LEDs on the network ports themselves, which can't be seen from the front.
The router doesn't come with a manual, just a CD that contains the Cisco Connect software, which helps with both the initial setup and ongoing management of the network. In either case, you just have to pop the CD into the computer's optical drive and run the software. The rest is self-explanatory.
By default, the first time you run the software for the setup process, it'll show you how to connect the router with the cables and an Internet source, such as a broadband modem. After that it'll configure the router's settings to connect to the Internet. This process takes less than 5 minutes and is completely automatic. Note, though, that you'll need a live Internet connection for the setup to finish. Just in case there are any problems, the software will show you different ways to contact Cisco's technical support.
Once the router is configured with Internet access, Cisco Connect will pick a catchy name, such as GoldFish, and an easy-to-remember password for your wireless networks. You can either keep that name and password or type in ones of your liking. Note that the name will be used for both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It's normal for a dual-band router to have two networks with the same name. In this case, 5GHz-enabled clients will automatically pick the 5GHz band to connect to.
In addition to handling the setup process, Cisco Connect is used to turn on and off the guest network (which is available only in the 2.4GHz band), manage the parental control features, and run the included Speed Test tool that shows how fast the connection to the Internet is.
To do more, say to set up the router for an isolated network that's not connected to the Internet, to rename the two wireless networks, or to take advantage of other functions, including the router's network storage feature, you'll need to log in to the router's Web interface. You can get there by following the "advanced setup" link within Cisco Connect, or by pointing a connected computer's browser to the router's default IP address, which is 192.168.1.1.
Note that if you haven't used Cisco Connect at all, the default password to log in to the router's Web interface is "admin" with the username left blank. Once you have used the software to set up the router, the user name will be "admin" with the password being that of the wireless network. Note that if you use the Web interface to make major changes to the router's settings, the Cisco Connect software will stop working with the router. In this case, to use the software again, you'll need to reset the router to the factory default setting via a tiny recessed button on its bottom.
As in the case of the E3200, the functionality of the E2500's Web interface encompasses that of Cisco Connect. This means savvy users can skip Cisco Connect entirely to avoid a situation in which they are not aware of what the software has changed about the settings of the router.
The Linksys E2500 has the same features as the Linksys E3200, minus the support for an USB external hard drive. The router is able to offer two concurrent networks, on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, and can also provide a third guest network on the 2.4GHz band at the same time.

Now Appearing In Your Picture
All this time this weekend debating when the "Highlanders" nickname was phased out, and the "Yankees" nickname phased in, and I missed a jewel sparkling up from one of my primary pieces of evidence.
Take a good look at the stern faces in this photo, particularly in the back row, sitting on the fence at old Hilltop Park:The Yankees – and if the editors of the New York American of 1907 decided to try to sell newspapers by giving away these postcards, and a special supplement of this photo, by calling them the Yankees, so will I – had traded veteran Joe Yeager to St. Louis a month before spring training for a promising but ultimately disastrous utilityman.
He was listed as a catcher, but on June 28th with him behind the plate, the Washington Senators stole 13 bases against the Yankees. Thirteen. "My arm was numb and I was helpless to do anything.
Take a closer look at him, in the black cap. Do the eyebrows look familiar?That's Branch Rickey.
The Branch Rickey. 40 years later he'd be ushering Jackie Robinson in the majors.
And parenthetically, front row, on the left in this detail? Another Hall of Famer, 1907 Yankees manager, future Washington Senators owner, Clark Griffith.

Son of a gun! This is getting better than Perry Mason! You should have been a detective. And all the time…it was right there looking out at all of us! WOW! After all this, I am ready for meds and beds. 🙂
P.S. Unblock me so I don't end up in a sanitarium!
Branch Rickey is one of my all-time heroes. I (with my mother) saw Jackie Robinson play his rookie year with the Dodgers
No one ever accused Rickey of being a good player. But what an innovator! Red Barber used to say that he and Larry MacPhail did more to change baseball than anybody else.

If we can't get KO back on the air as Edward R. Murrow — Righteous Antidote To Right-Wing B.S.(I'm hoping we do, and soon), then how 'bout KO as Bill Stern — Pop Baseball Historian (and stemwinding storyteller…even if he did make up some of the best ones, like William Bendix being a batboy for the Yankees before he starred in "The Babe Ruth Story"…) An entire year's worth of shows could be spun out of Branch Rickey. The Gashouse Gang Years, and the development of the farm system…the Dodgers, and the whole Durocher kerfuffle…the masterful way he integrated baseball (unlike the ham-handed Bill Veeck)…Rickey versus O'Malley…Rickey running the Continental League bluff to get National League baseball back in New York… The two most influential figures in 20th century baseball were Branch Rickey and Marvin Miller.
Rich, this IS rich! Love your idea! Everybody misses KO greatly!
Nothing is more absolutely frustrating to any person than needing to write one's thoughts clearly and concisely on paper, in the form of a personal letter to a friend or loved one, a statement of purpose required in a university application, a professional summation of job performance required by a manager, or an essay, research paper, or thesis required by a high school instructor or college professor for a course grade, and not having the fundamental skills to do so academic proofreading service.
According to the Spalding Guide photo of the 1907 Yankees, this is Al Orth.

John Bernard Gilpin was born in 1810 in Newport, Rhode Island, the son of a British consul. Gilpin received a Bachelor of Arts from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut in 1831 followed by a medical degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 1834. By January, 1838, Gilpin had moved to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia to practise medicine. His father had moved there in 1833 to live near his sons from his first marriage. After spending a few years in the Annapolis Valley, Gilpin went to London to obtain his certification from the Royal College of Surgeons in 1846. Upon his return, Gilpin became one of only five doctors in the province who held dual certification as physicians and surgeons. In 1849, he married Charlotte, the daughter of Benjamin Smith and they moved to Halifax where they had two children: William Sawry and Bernard. Charlotte, however, passed away shortly after on March 2, 1851. In 1854, Gilpin was called to assist in the pregnancy of the Sable Island lighthouse keeper's wife, Mrs. McKenna. She was having difficulties with the pregnancy and Gilpin remained on the island should any problems arise. While on the island, Gilpin spent a great deal of his time exploring the sandbar and sketching the landscapes; he drew beached ships, shaggy ponies, and sand dunes. On July 15, 1854, Mrs. McKenna gave birth to a son. Gilpin remained until July 22. Unfortunately, the baby died from dysentery on September 3. In addition to his medical interests, Gilpin was a founding member of the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science, later the Nova Scotian Institute of Science; he presented the first paper read before the society on February 2, 1863. This paper focused on herring, but Gilpin wrote about a variety of fauna including: walrus, beavers, bears, eagles, seals, salmon, sea fowl, and serpents. He often used his own drawings to supplement his papers and his Halifax Herald obituary mentions his sketches of Sable Island ponies. In 1882, Gilpin became one of the first fellows of the Royal Society of Canada; the same year, he retired to Annapolis Royal. Gilpin was buried next to his wife and infant son, Bernard, in Annapolis Royal following his death in 1892. Sable Island is a sandbar approximately 300 kilometres south-east of Halifax that is renowned for its shipwrecks and wild horses. It is believed Sable Island is a terminal moraine created when glaciers pushed sand into the area during the last Ice Age; the island remains because of the flora trapping the sand and the extra sand in the Sable Island Bank. The mixture of cool and warm ocean currents around the island often creates foggy conditions; Sable Island on average is foggy 125 days per year. The combination of strong currents, fog, and storms can be treacherous, particularly in the days before modern navigational aids; numerous shipwrecks occurred around the island until the Second World War when better equipment became commonly available. The last wrecked vessel was the Merrimac in 1999. The high number of wrecks led to Sable Island's nickname: the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Many of Gilpin's sketches depict Sable Island ponies; the horses were first introduced to the island in 1737 but it was the second shipment in 1760 that survived and became wild. The horses were shipped to the island by Thomas Hancock, a Boston shipowner and merchant; he gathered the horses from Acadian farms that were abandoned as a result of the Deportation. The horses were used as basic transportation over the years by the people that lived on the island; the horses hauled lifeboats and survival gear to shipwreck sites and pulled food and equipment in carts. The horses have shaggy coats and manes for protection against the winter cold; they range in colour from bay to palomino to chestnut to black and are short. Their short stature makes them well-suited to the rough terrain although they do not provide a smooth ride. With the modernization of the lighthouse and navigational equipment, the island's current, human inhabitants consist solely of scientists conducting research on local fauna and gathering climate and meteorological data. Written permission is required from Coast Guard in order to visit the island. Sources: 'An Artist's View of Sable Island: Watercolour Sketches by Dr. J.B.

Summit Up 1-28-13: What will they come up with next?
Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is wondering just what in the world will they come up with next.
We stumbled upon this pretty cool new athletic flooring system – don't roll your eyes too much, trust us this gets better – made of glass that has embedded light fixtures that provide the lines for activities such as basketball, volleyball or squash. What's cool about the system is that the lines glow only for the sport that is being played. So no more volleyball lines on the court when playing basketball. I'm sure you get the idea.
The glass floor was developed by Germany's ASB Systembau GMBH and is designed to emulate a hardwood floor surface.
We don't know about you, but we could see some potential for places like the rec. As some of the less athletically gifted in our group can attest, it's a little bit embarrassing when you think you cut somebody off at the baseline only to see them sail by for a layup because you were actually standing at the edge of the volleyball court.
Millions of Summit Up Readers: Wow, you guys must be really bad at basketball.
Summit Up: We're just saying that all those lines can get a bit confusing.
MSUR: Sounds like a cop out to us.
Moving on, it seems that today marks the kickoff of a public awareness campaign by Colorado Auto Theft Investigators and Coloradans Against Auto Theft concerning "puffers," cars that are left unattended while idling.
It seems that approximately half of all stolen cars in Colorado have keys left inside, according to a representative from the Colorado State Patrol. So there you have it, don't leave your car running, you might just come back to find that it's gone.
Transitioning one last time, we decided it might be nice to catch up on some history. More precisely, what happened on Jan. 28 in years past.
It looks like the road got a little steeper for Martin Luther in 1521. The Diet of Worms began on this day 492 years ago, leading to Luther being declared an outlaw by the Roman Catholic Church.
Fast forward 27 years and England's Henry VIII kicked the bucket. The ol' king is probably best known for racking up six marriages, but the one thing that always comes to mind for us is the 1965 No.1 hit hit by Herman's Hermits. How could you not love these lyrics:
I'm Henery the Eighth, I am,
Henery the Eighth I am, I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She's been married seven times before.
And every one was an Henery
It wouldn't be a Willie or a Sam
I'm her eighth old man I'm Henery
Henery the Eighth, I am!
Doesn't that just take you back to road trips with the parental units, crammed into the back of a station wagon with the oldies station playing while your siblings fight over some arbitrary boundary in the seat.
Well, enough reminiscing. It looks like we're just about out of space for today so just one more shoutout from the years gone by: On this day in 1938 the first ski tow began operation on a hill in Vermont.
So there you have it, you're now wiser for having read this column.
Have a great Monday.

Her name means: "Loop" or "Tie"
Her character: Hardworking and generous, her faith was so great that she left her home forever to marry a man she had never seen or met. Yet she played favorites with her sons and failed to trust God fully for the promise he had made.
Her sorrow: That she was barren for the first twenty years of her married life, and that she never again set eyes on her favorite son, Jacob, after he fled from his brother Esau.
Her joy: That God had gone to extraordinary lengths to pursue her, to invite her to become part of his people and his promises.
Key Scriptures: Genesis 24; 25:19-34; 26:1—28:9
Her Story
The sun was dipping beyond the western rim of the sky as the young woman approached the well outside the town of Nahor, five hundred miles northeast of Canaan. It was women's work to fetch fresh water each evening, and Rebekah hoisted the brimming jug to her shoulder, welcoming its cooling touch against her skin.
As she turned to go, a stranger greeted her, asking for a drink. Obligingly, she offered to draw water for his camels as well. Rebekah noticed the look of surprised pleasure that flashed across his face. Ten camels could put away a lot of water, she knew. But had she overheard his whispered prayer just moments earlier, her astonishment would have exceeded his: "O Lord, God of my master Abraham, give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. May it be that when I say to a girl, 'Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I'll water your camels too'—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac."
A simple gesture. A generous response. A young woman's future altered in a moment's time. The man Rebekah encountered at the well, Abraham's servant, had embarked on a sacred mission—to find Isaac a wife from among Abraham's own people rather than from among the surrounding Canaanites. Like her great-aunt Sarah before her, Rebekah would make the journey south to embrace a future she could hardly glimpse. Betrothed to a man twice her age, whose name meant "Laughter," she felt a sudden giddiness rise inside her. The God of Abraham and Sarah was wooing her, calling her name and no other, offering a share in the promise. God was forging a new nation to be his own people.
Isaac was forty when he first set eyes on Rebekah. Perhaps his heart echoed the joy of that first man, "Here at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh!" So Isaac and Rebekah entered the tent of his mother Sarah and made love. And the Bible says that Rebekah comforted Isaac after the death of his mother.
Rebekah was beautiful and strong like Sarah, yet she bore no children for the first twenty years of her life with Isaac. Would she suffer as Sarah did the curse of barrenness? Isaac prayed and God heard, giving her not one, but two sons, who wrestled inside her womb. And God told her: "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."
During the delivery, Jacob grasped the heel of his brother Esau, as though striving for first position. Though second by birth, he was first in his mother's affections. But his father loved Esau best.
Years later, when Isaac was old and nearly blind, he summoned his firstborn, Esau. "Take your quiver and bow and hunt some wild game for me. Prepare the kind of meal I like, and I will give you my blessing before I die."
But the clever Rebekah overheard and called quickly to Jacob, suggesting a scheme to trick the blessing from Isaac. Disguised as Esau, Jacob presented himself to his father for the much-coveted blessing.
Isaac then blessed Jacob, thinking he was blessing Esau: "May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed."
Isaac had stretched out his hand and passed the choicest blessing to his younger son, thus recalling the words spoken about the two children jostling for position in Rebekah's womb. The benediction thus given could not be withdrawn, despite the deceit, despite Esau's tears, and despite his vow to kill Jacob. Afraid lest Esau take revenge, Rebekah persuaded Isaac to send Jacob north to find a wife from among her brother Laban's daughters.
As the years passed, Rebekah must have longed to embrace her younger son, hoping for the privilege of enfolding his children in her embrace. But more than twenty years would pass before Jacob returned. And though Isaac would live to welcome his son, Rebekah would not.
When Rebekah was a young girl, God had invited her to play a vital role in the story of his people. He had gone to great lengths to pursue her. Like Sarah, she would become a matriarch of God's people, and like Sarah, her heart would divide itself between faith and doubt, believing that God's promise required her intervention. Finding it difficult to rest in the promise God had made, she resorted to trickery to achieve it.
The results, mirroring her own heart, were mixed. Though Jacob indeed became heir to the promise, he was driven from his home and the mother who loved him too well. In addition, he and his descendants would forever be at odds with Esau and his people, the Edomites. Two thousand years later, Herod the Great, who hailed from Idumea (the Greek and Roman name for Edom) would slaughter many innocent children in his attempt to destroy the infant Jesus.
Yet God was still at work, graciously using a woman whose response to him was far less than perfect, in order to accomplish his purposes.
Her Promise
Rebekah heard Abraham's servant describe how he had prayed and how he was sure she was the woman God intended for Isaac. God himself had divinely orchestrated the events. Rebekah seemed to have known that and, when asked, answered simply, "I will go."
Did Rebekah fully realize God's plan for her? Was she open to following that plan? Or was she simply entranced with the romantic notions of a young girl looking for her knight in shining armor? Whatever her motivation, the events were planned by God, and he was able and willing to faithfully continue to fulfill his promises through her.
God's faithfulness, despite our waywardness and contrariness, is evident both throughout Scripture and throughout our lives. He will be faithful; he promises.
This devotional is drawn from Women of the Bible: A One-Year Devotional Study of Women in Scripture by Ann Spangler and Jean Syswerda. Used with permission.
Hardworking and generous, her faith was so great that she left her home forever to marry a man she had never seen or met.

review from 'The Field Reporter' blog by John McEnroe:
'The bright work', originally published on 2009 and reissued on February of 2012, was largely made with hydrophones, very likely the ones Jez Riley French builds himself.
Hydrophones offer a very particular experience as what we hear is sound propagated through water, though a fluid. Fluids and sound waves have similar behaviors under certain circumstances, but what is interesting here is that the hydrophone hearing experience would suppose an immersive experience, but instead 'The bright work' seems to be more about textures, scales and friction. It's like if water became a large membrane we use to listen to the surface of solid container of this water. A tactile and visual surface with detailed features and beautiful narratives.
Water and fluids acquire the shape of their container, they also tend to propagate and its behavior changes based on the molecular interaction with its container. On a more cultural approach water serves as mirror, the origin of the image. Anyway on 'The bright work' I'd say water is more of a metaphor to the space between ourselves and the things, to the distance we need to establish to have an image of things.
Water here works like some sort of a membrane, a magnifying glass, a medium to relate to the micro, to a reductionist approach through the possibility of listening to sounds otherwise inaccessible for human listening.
What is quite poetic here is what does Jez Riley French finds on this sounds that makes him want to play them to us. How his mediation as artist and sound capturer imprints his experience in these sounds: how his mediation imprints his emotions, thoughts, reflections and questions in the sounds we listen here.
'The bright work' is a work that serves to understand all the depth and transcendence behind the premise that in sound art sound is both the medium and subject. There is an immanent sort of "extraordinary" and revealing element in the hearing experience, in the reduction of the hearing that puts the listener in contact with something that he can't necessarily comprehend but that he feels and experiences. This is no longer a metaphorical, figurative and descriptive process: this is sort of a metaphysical exercise: a way to sensibly address questions about ourselves and about the world.
Again, 'The bright work' is a very successful work as it provides a universal sense to the act of Jez Riley French recordings the water of some specific sites with hydrophones. The sense found here is the sense of relating to the world and relate to ourselves in a way different to the question / answer approach. More like if we subtract ourselves intellectually in order to feel the cosmos we are part of and have an actual meaningful transcendent experience.

review from 'just outside' (Brian Olewnick):
'a more purely field recording-oriented release (though French bows or otherwise touches various surfaces on three of the six tracks). Here, one's reaction I find often depends "simply" on how intriguing one finds the given sound-field in play. Even there, you're almost compelled to give a deeper listen if, initially, you're not so fascinated; often there's more at hand than you thought. The one unenhanced cut that I immediately loved was the fourth, "as030", which features a motor of some kind (I think), it's strong, subtle and varies hugely within a narrow focus. The lengthy final track, the one on which bowing can most clearly be discerned, works pretty well also, a rich range of rubbing-induced groans....one can easily imagine wallowing it it with pleasure in an actual installation. It's a good disc....'

Now i have a lot more div's to be filled like this. And i'm kinda stuck to where to put the new code.
1) Do i need to make the browser check each time i do a ajax request?
2)If i need more divs to refresh each 2 second like above code can i use the above code to make that happen or do i need a totally new function?
3)same question as 3 but for div's that need to get loaded on start and when a player clicks something. Can i put all this code inside the Ajax function or do i need sepperate functions for each?

The 2013 Honda Accord and 2013 Suzuki Kizashi sedans have emerged at the top of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's latest round of safety tests. After evaluating 18 midsize entries including the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion, Hyundai Sonata, and Nissan Altima, only the 2013 Honda Accord sedan and 2013 Suzuki Kizashi were deemed to be "Good" overall under the organization's more strict crash tests.
In case you missed that, the 2013 Suzuki Kizashi sedan -- built by an automaker that will soon discontinue auto sales in the U.S. -- has been evaluated above many other more popular midsizers, along with the 2013 Honda Accord sedan. Though the Accord sedan and Kizashi were rated good, they aren't the only newly tested vehicles to get Top Safety Pick + status. To earn that award (with the "+"), a vehicle must be rated good in four of five tests that include a moderate overlap frontal crash, small overlap frontal crash, side impact, rollover, and seat/head restraint evaluations (for rear impacts) and have a rating of no less than "acceptable" in any test.
Though the Accord sedan may be rated good, the 2013 Accord coupe is in the acceptable category, along with the Ford Fusion, Kia Optima, Nissan Altima sedan, Nissan Maxima, Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200 sedan, Mazda6 (outgoing 2013 model), and Volkswagen Passat.
So far, the IIHS says 13 tested vehicles qualify for the Top Safety Pick + award: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200 sedan, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord sedan and coupe, Kia Optima, Nissan Altima sedan, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi, Volkswagen Passat, Acura TL, and Volvo S60.
While acceptable overall safety ratings from the IIHS may not have too great of an effect on midsize sedan sales, a lower score of "marginal" may. Curiously, while the Kia Optima earned an acceptable rating, the mechanically related Hyundai Sonata falls in the marginal category, along with the Chevrolet Malibu and Volkswagen Jetta sedan.
Perhaps most notable, aside from the Accord's and Kizashi's Top Safety Pick + designation, are the two newly evaluated vehicles in the "Poor" category: the Toyota Camry and Toyota Prius V. A poor rating could have an impact on Toyota Camry sales, though the car will without a doubt remain on top of the segment for the 2012 calendar year. For 2013, however, we'd be surprised if Toyota doesn't announce a quick update to bump the car's rating to marginal or acceptable status. It's important to note that both Toyotas are already called Top Safety Picks, but their performance in the IIHS' new small overlap crash is what's set them back. In NHTSA safety tests, the 2013 Toyota Camry has a five-star overall rating (out of a maximum five stars).
Conversely, the Suzuki Kizashi has never qualified for the older Top Safety Pick status because its roof strength rating was only acceptable. As the IIHS says, the Kizashi "is the only midsize moderately priced car to earn a good rating for structure in the small overlap test." With the revised standards for Top Safety Pick +, the car qualifies for the new award but not the older one.
If you were in the market for a new midsize sedan, how closely would you pay attention to IIHS and NHTSA safety test results? Tell us in the comments section below.

UPDATE: Toyota has responded to the IIHS test results:
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) periodically develops new, more severe or specialized tests which go beyond federal requirements. With this new test, the Institute has raised the bar again, and we will respond to the challenge. We are evaluating the new test protocols and can say that there will not be one single solution to achieve greater crash performance in this area.
Toyota has 19 Toyota, Lexus and Scion models named 2012 IIHS "Top Safety Picks," including the Camry and Prius v, more than any other automaker. We're also proud of the Camry's 5 Star Safety rating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)*
*The Prius v has not been rated by the NHTSA at this point.

TORifying software for Linux and Unix environments HOWTO
This document explains how to configure particular programs to use Tor in a Linux/UNIX environment. It does not cover Windows yet, but experienced Windows users can glean the proper settings by reading this document. You are free to add your own Windows configurations to this document.
Note that this is a very brief document on how to make various programs use Tor as a proxy; you should read the documentation at tor.eff.org first. Since most programs use similar locations for various settings, the following examples will get you going most of the time. If you're using anything that needs some exotic workarounds, or your distribution doesn't use SysV (
/etc/init.d/ startup scripts), for example, this guide currently won't help you a lot, since it is a bit bash and Debian specific. Feel free to edit this page; it's a Wiki, after all.

Basic Configuration Issues
Unix and Linux Configuration
Under Unix and GNU/Linux, most HTTP capable applications, like
wget and
curl, will honor the value of the
http_proxy environment variable. Some applications use all lower case, some all upper, so specify both to be safe.
Add the following lines to your $HOME/.bash_profile, $HOME/.bashrc, or env settings:
http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy export http_proxy HTTP_PROXY
About DNS and tsocks
tsocks correctly replaces connect(2) calls with calls to your SOCKS proxy (Tor), but it doesn't do anything about requests to your DNS server. This means that if you refer to any machines by hostname when you're using tsocks, you'll be sending that hostname over the network, perhaps leaking the fact that you are about to connect to the corresponding server.
Other applications that use SOCKS 4 or SOCKS 5 directly often have the same shortcoming.
Tor 0.0.8 (or later) has a workaround for this problem; until we can hack tsocks (or a work-alike) to support DNS, instead of using a hostname directly, first use
tor-resolve to resolve the hostname into an IP (via Tor) and then use that IP address with your tsocks-ified application.
See [:TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS: the FAQ] for more information.
NOTE: There is now a patch to the tsocks code that handles dns leaks and .onion addresses, tordns
About socat
socat is a multipurpose relay for bidirectional data transfer. It is possible to use socat as a general means by which programs agnostic of SOCKS can use Tor by connecting to a local TCP port.
Socat (for SOcket CAT) establishes two bidirectional byte streams and transfers data between them. Data channels may be files, pipes, devices (terminal or modem, etc.), or sockets (Unix, IPv4, IPv6, raw, UDP, TCP, SSL). It provides forking, logging and tracing, different modes for interprocess communication and many more options.
It can be used, for example, as a TCP relay (one-shot or daemon), as an external socksifier, as a shell interface to Unix sockets, as an IPv6 relay, as a netcat and rinetd replacement, to redirect TCP-oriented programs to a serial line, or to establish a relatively secure environment (su and chroot) for running client or server shell scripts inside network connections.
Suppose that you wanted to connect to an IRC server running on barbaz.com, port 6667.
socat TCP4-LISTEN:4242,fork SOCKS4A:localhost:barbaz.com:6667,socksport=9050
Connecting to localhost, port 4242, would then be equivalent to connecting to barbaz.com, port 6667, via Tor.
What interests us most for Tor is that it supports socks4a redirection, allowing your client to connect to an hidden service. Assuming you want to join to an hidden irc server running on foo.onion on port 6667.
You might want to start a local tunnel that forwards connection for local port 4242 to this service using Tor.
socat TCP4-LISTEN:4242,fork SOCKS4A:localhost:foo.onion:6667,socksport=9050
Warning: socat versions up to and including 184.108.40.206 had a bug that would use SOCKS4A only when a direct DNS resolution attempt failed, thus possibly revealing which DNS names you accessed through socat. See this post tor-dev for details.
Socat on OpenBSD 3.7
There is no port or package for socat in OpenBSD. It compiles cleanly from the source. If you only use socat for Tor, I'd suggest trying these configure options:
./configure --disable-file --disable-creat --disable-gopen --disable-pipe --disable-unix --disable-exec \ --disable-system --disable-pty --disable-readline --prefix=/usr/local/opt gmake && gmake install
to install everything into /usr/local/opt (to avoid overwriting normal ports).
Instead of the above socat command, you can also make it bind only to localhost:
## Connect to oftc on 127.0.0.1:6777 /bin/systrace -e -a -t /usr/local/opt/bin/socat TCP4-LISTEN:6777,bind=localhost,range=127.0.0.1/32,fork \ SOCKS4A:127.0.0.1:irc.oftc.net:6667,socksport=9050 > socat_log.$$ 2>&1 &
Now in irssi, you would just type
/connect 127.0.0.1 6677 and it would connect you to irc.oftc.net:6667 through
/bin/systrace -e -a -t if you have a systrace policy for socat. Here's an example policy for IRC.

Note' that the above
native-shutdown refers to the function call shutdown(2) to shut down
part of a full-duplex connection and not the command shutdown.
If you didn't use the configure line above, you will have to add more
native-fsread statements
for the extra libraries.
This also assumes that you have dsocks'
tor-dns-proxy.py setup to handle DNS requests on
Web browsers

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/greprefs/all.js file:
... pref("network.proxy.type", 1); ... pref("network.proxy.http", "127.0.0.1"); pref("network.proxy.http_port", 8118); pref("network.proxy.ssl", "127.0.0.1"); pref("network.proxy.ssl_port", 8118); pref("network.proxy.socks", ""); pref("network.proxy.socks_port", 0); pref("network.proxy.socks_version", 5); pref("network.proxy.no_proxies_on", "localhost, 127.0.0.1"); ...
In later versions of Firefox, at least in the current version 184.108.40.206 under Linux, you can enable the browser to do remote domain name look ups. The option network.proxy.socks_remote_dns is available via about:config and should look like
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns user set boolean true
At http://www.imperialviolet.org/deerpark.html you can find an excellent step-by-step introduction how to do this.
Be careful, though: In some versions of Firefox (e.g., 1.0.7 under Linux) this option exists, but does nothing. In this case, you may want to use privoxy or similar projects. To find out whether your version implements remote DNS resolution correctly, you may try out a URL ending in
.onion, like this one leading to the the Hidden Tor Wiki. If the Hidden Wiki shows up, remote DNS resolution works.
Also, Mac OS X users should change the above preferences by entering about:config in the URL bar because the firefox preferences dialog is a bit screwy.
This isn't the most elegant solution, but it works. Rename your
/etc/init.d/fetchmail file to
{fetchmail-orig, for example, then save the script below as
/etc/init.d/fetchmail, and restart fetchmail with
/etc/init.d/fetchmail restart. Your mail will now be fetched through the Tor network.
#!/bin/sh # # Fetchmail+Tor init script # set -e # Defaults DAEMON=/usr/bin/tsocks FMINIT=/etc/init.d/fetchmail-orig PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin test -f $DAEMON || exit 0 case "$1" in start) $DAEMON $FMINIT start ;; stop) $DAEMON $FMINIT stop ;; force-reload|restart) $DAEMON $FMINIT restart ;; try-restart) $DAEMON $FMINIT try-restart ;; awaken) $DAEMON $FMINIT awaken ;; debug-run) $DAEMON $FMINIT debug-run ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/fetchmail {start|stop|restart|force-reload|awaken|debug-run}" echo " start - starts system-wide fetchmail service" echo " stop - stops system-wide fetchmail service" echo " restart, force-reload - starts a new system-wide fetchmail service" echo " awaken - tell system-wide fetchmail to start a poll cycle immediately" echo " debug-run [strace [strace options...]] - start a debug run of the" echo " system-wide fetchmail service, optionally running it under strace" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0
An alternative configuration for fetchmail for those that prefer to start it on a per-user basis. Add the following to the user's
CONF_FILE="$HOME/.fetchmailrc" PID_FILE="$HOME/.fetchmail.pid" FETCHMAIL="/usr/bin/fetchmail" TSOCKS="/usr/bin/tsocks" function FetchMailAlive () { if test -f $CONF_FILE && test -f $FETCHMAIL; then if test -f $PID_FILE; then if ! kill -0 `cut -d \ -f1 $PID_FILE` 2>/dev/null; then eval $($TSOCKS $FETCHMAIL) echo New FetchMail started. >&2 fi else eval $($TSOCKS $FETCHMAIL) echo New FetchMail started. >&2 fi else echo Fetchmail not installed or configured properly. >&2 fi } # Call it FetchMailAlive
Then it checks for a running fetchmail daemon every time a new shell is opened and starts one if needed.
You may want to look up your mail server's IP with
tor-resolve and use the IP in place
of a hostname; see the note on tsocks and DNS above.
If you are lazy you can also just call
torify fetchmail or
torify fetchmail -d 900.

If you are running Privoxy, as recommended, you can just configure irssi's own proxy settings to use Privoxy as an HTTP proxy.
Otherwise, you can run Irssi with
tsocks irssi. Unfortunately, as mentioned above, Irssi's own proxy configuration options are HTTP specific.
torify irssi. Note that torify is just a shell script that calls
tsocks after setting the config file to /etc/tor/tor-tsocks.conf.
For OpenBSD users, you can either hack tsocks to work (as of 3.6 there is no port) or you can use dante.
Dante is in the ports system. A simple example config that works with irssi and Tor looks like this
/etc/socks.conf (client configuration only)
route { from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 via: 127.0.0.1 port = 9050 proxyprotocol: socks_v4 }
and then you can run
socksify irssi assuming that Tor is running on localhost:9050.
You may want to look up your IRC server's IP with
tor-resolve and use the IP in place
of a hostname; see the [:#DNSNote: note on tsocks and DNS] above.
Add the following to your .irssi/config if you want to use Privoxy as your proxy:
settings = { core = { real_name = "TorUser"; user_name = "TorUser"; nick = "TorUser"; proxy_password = ""; use_proxy = "yes"; proxy_string = "CONNECT %s:%d HTTP/1.0\012\012"; proxy_port = "8118"; proxy_address = "127.0.0.1"; }; };
Don't forget to modify the limit-connect settings in the Privoxy .action files first.
To minimize information leakage about your client and timezone add
ignores = ( { level = "CTCPS"; } );
or run
/ignore * CTCPS
and then
X-Chat supports SOCKS 5 and does not leak DNS requests.
Settings-> Preferences -> Network -> Network setup -> Proxy server
Hostname: 127.0.0.1 Port: 9050 Type: Socks5
Unofficial builds of X-Chat for Windows are free.
See the note on tsocks and DNS above.
Since the SILC client is based on Irssi, you can follow the same procedure to make it use Tor. Combining Tor and SILC might be one of the safest ways to communicate with someone over the Internet. More information about SILC is available at its website.
Silky is a GTK2 SILC client. It does not currently support SOCKS, so the best way to make it work with Tor is using socat (IMO).:
socat TCP4-LISTEN:6666 SOCKS4A:localhost:silc.silcnet.org:706,socksport=9050
And then tell Silky to connect to localhost:6666.
In order to use BitchX with tor, you first need to get ProxyChains, a *NIX-only HTTP and SOCKS proxy client. On Debian systems, install the
proxychains package. Once installed, just add
socks5 127.0.0.1 9050 http localhost 8118
to the ProxyChains config file at
Now that it is configured, type
proxychains bitchx at the command line.
The gentoo build of proxychains seems to be broken on x86 arch. Using
tsocks BitchX or
torify BitchX works well.
You may want to look up your IRC server's IP with
tor-resolve and use the IP in place
of a hostname; see the note on tsocks and DNS above.
Mirc.co.uk: Proxies and Firewalls
File -> Options -> Connect -> Firewall
Older versions: Mark the "Use SOCKS Firewall" box. Newer versions (mIRC 6.0 and up): Select "Both" from the "Firewall support" pulldown.
Protocol: SOCKS5 Hostname: 127.0.0.1 Port: 9050
I get "Unable to resolve server" errors using SOCKS4 with mIRC and .onion addresses. SOCKS5 works.
Preferences -> Advanced Preferences -> Proxy Server
BitTorrent is already using a mechanism similiar to tor to communicate with other peers. torifying the bittorrent traffic would just add more overhead and reduce throughput.
You may want to use tor to communicate with the tracker, though. For this, just add
--tracker-proxy 127.0.0.1:8118:
btlaunchmanycurses --tracker-proxy 127.0.0.1:8118 <directory>
See http://azureus.sourceforge.net/doc/AnonBT/.
Warning: This will only work for HTTP because Privoxy does not support FTP.
Add the following line to
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8118/";
Add or edit the following lines in your
keyserver x-hkp://yod73zr3y6wnm2sw.onion keyserver-options honor-http-proxy broken-http-proxy
You may obviously use any public keyserver, like
subkeys.pgp.net, but hidden services are preferred. At the time of this writing. only two key servers running as hidden servers are publicly available -- d3ettcpzlta6azsm.onion/ and yod73zr3y6wnm2sw.onion.
After that is done, just run
export http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ gpg --refresh-keys
If you don't want to write the export line every time, you can add
alias gpg='http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/ gpg' to your .bashrc file as well; if you have set the
http_proxy environment variable, you may skip this step.
Wget will also respect the http_proxy enviroment variable, but you can edit
... http_proxy = http://localhost:8118 use_proxy = on ...
SSH: Method 1 (torify)
Simply run
torify ssh <parameters> if the host is not on a local network and you're done.
SSH: Method 2 (connect)
These instructions should work on most *nix systems. Tested on Mac OS X 10.3.x and Debian GNU/Linux.
1 - Upgrade your SSH to an OpenSSH version that has Socks 5 support. The OpenSSH client that is shipped with Mac OS X 10.3 (aka Panther) - OpenSSH_3.6.1p1 - will not work correctly. Download, build and install the current stable version from the OpenSSH website. If you're using Mac OS X, using fink may be easier for you.
2 - Download and build the connect source code. Connect will allow socket connections using SOCKS4/5 and HTTP tunnels. For detailed information on connect, please visit its website. Note: the site appears to be down at the moment, we've mirrored the script at https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/connect.c
A pre-compiled version of
connect for Mac OS X is available at http://members.lycos.co.uk/hardapple/tools/connect.tar. (md5sum: b5180cb789813fc958209c58b99039fa)
Install connect into the
/usr/local/bin directory.
3 - Add the following line to your
ssh_config file located at:
/etc/ssh/ssh_config (system-wide) or
$HOME/.ssh/config (on a per-user basis).
If you used fink to install OpenSSH, it is located at
Host 10.*.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.16.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.17.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.18.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.19.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.20.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.21.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.22.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.23.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.24.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.25.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.26.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.27.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.28.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.29.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.30.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 172.31.*.* ProxyCommand none Host 192.168.*.* ProxyCommand none Host * ProxyCommand /usr/local/bin/connect -4 -S 127.0.0.1:9050 %h %p
All SSH connections, except to the private address ranges defined by the IANA in RFC-1918, will now go through tor.
You may want to look up your SSH server's IP with
tor-resolve and use the IP in place
of a hostname; see the note on tsocks and DNS above.
SSH: Method 3 (socat)
Use socat as described above. One way to access an SSH server via Tor is to socat to make a tcp4 listener and relay to your local Tor client, then ssh to it. It's not the nicest way. Using OpenSSH, then you can use the
ProxyCommand option in your
~/.ssh/config file, as follows:
{{{Host MyHost-tor
ProxyCommand socat - SOCKS4A:localhost:barbaz.com:22,socksport=9050}}}
Now you can simply use
ssh MyHost-tor.
Similarly, if you have an SSH server running as a hidden service, then you will wish to ssh to it with minimal fuss.
{{{Host MyHost-tor
ProxyCommand socat - SOCKS4A:localhost:MyHost.onion:22,socksport=9050}}}
This method is more secure than using
tsocks ssh MyHost.onion because ssh will first resolve the hostname, and then try to connect to it. This means that you lose by giving away your IP address during the DNS lookup.
Using wildcards and parameter expansions features of SSH you can put a single configuration for all .onion addresses:
{{{Host *.onion
ProxyCommand socat STDIO SOCKS4A:localhost:%h:%p,socksport=9050}}}
If you want every SSH communication to go through Tor, you can even say :
Host * ProxyCommand socat STDIO SOCKS4A:localhost:%h:%p,socksport=9050
Putty is a neat suite of programs for doing Telnet, SSH, SCP, etc.
Configuration Details?
It is possible to run a (slow) vpnd through tor. How to setup this up is explained at http://www.vanheusden.com/Linux/tt.html.

WOW! I was going to post this same thing about the belt. I hadn't heard of anyone else noticing that original version was "flipped". Awesome!
The Target Clone's a different sculpt. It's the Clone Wars SA Clone... The Shadow Troop is the same. The #41's an entirely new sculpt. The legs are a little better for posing due to how the hip is sculpted, that's the easiest way to tell them apart.

A Tory strategy to make more use of open source software in the public sector is likely to tackle the culture of secrecy in government procurement, according to early details released to The Register.
Planned for publication next month and stemming from shadow chancellor George Osborne's adoption of a West Coast attitude, the plans are also likely to encourage the adoption of open standards and promote an indigenous open source industry.
Mark Thompson, a Cambridge University IT lecturer and businessman who is drawing up Osborne's request to make Britain the "open source leader of Europe", said that procurement - including the notoriously secretive gateway process - might be opened up so that it was easier for smaller firms to pay homage to the public purse.
These ideas have created some excitement in the apolitical open source movement (the flossers). Those who spoke to The Register about the Tory promise found it necessary to say the same six words: "I am not a Tory, but...".
The "but" for Thompson, like his peers, is that the current government's attitude to IT - "strong corporate ties, centrist, big systems integrators, the way business is done" - has kept the flossers out in the wilderness.
The Conservatives, on the other hand, think their open market philosophy can be tied up with the open source model and the principle of open government in one great big plan to revitalise the British software industry, society, and politics.
One implication of this plan could be similar to that hoped of open source in Africa: develop an indigenous software industry and avoid sending too much public money to Redmond. It's thoroughly Conservative: free the market from the yoke of monopoly power and reward local entrepreneurs.
"The current administration being pretty much a Microsoft shop, from the PM down, it's about time someone did something," said Thompson in an unguarded moment.
You will not hear much talk like this from here on in. The closer the flossers get to Tory power, the more they dampen their criticism of Microsoft. This is not about Microsoft, it's not anti-Microsoft. Microsoft has given the world some great software, they now say, but there's no denying the fact that the four-paned devil could have its vista sullied if these plans bear fruit.
Much of the trouble the flossers have with the government stems from their alarm over the big deals it has done with Microsoft. But, there is bigger game, which is the culture of secrecy in public sector procurement that has flourished behind the "commercial in confidence" defence. The Tory plan will work on the premise that secrecy hides bad decision making, protects vested interests, locks small, innovative firms out of government business, and could be one reason why the government has such a bad reputation for IT.
This will not result in a big bang switch-over from big business to cottage industries of flossers, said Thompson. There will be no diktats antithetical to the movement. There will likely be no radical government intervention at all, but rather, by opening procurement and publishing the architectural and interface standards of government systems, "extending the market" beyond its present cloister of big business.
The irony is that the foundation for the flossers has been laid under Labour - not necessarily by Labour, though its e-government drive has been crucial. Until now, Britain might not have been ready for open source. The procurement culture was haunted by the idea of public budgets being frittered away on fly-by-night vapourware merchants with their heads in the clouds. Perhaps, from the near-sighted left, it looks as though there is little to distinguish the flossers from the Tories anyway. ®
