Many people- especially the often young and idealistic breed known as "student activists"- are motivated more by the desire to leave the world the better place than they found it than by naked greed or self-interest, and they are eager to work long and hard to achieve their goals. Whenever I meet new people, I am always impressed anew by the fact that- despite the poor impression of humanity which one might receive from reading mainstream news- most people sincerely want very much to do good deeds. But I hope you will seek out and read a wonderful book which takes a very different view: Howard Zinn, A People's History of the United States, HarperCollins, 1999. (Actually, Herodotus went even further than that: he defined history as the narrative of wars fought by the Greek city states!) Put another way: some would confine history to the study of the (mostly unintended) consequences of decisions taken by political/economic/military leaders. > humanity is based on greed, money, and power.įollowing the definition of Herodotus, "History" has too often been taken to mean "the narrative of major national-scale events". I have not permitted to respond in her blog, but I'd like to try to respond to that commentator here: You may agree with the sentiments expressed by a commentator in Shari's blog (see her post about the current fundraising drive). > i like the exploit! it goes after childpron users! … Update: We would like to remind everyone that we (The Tor Project) are having our 2016 fundraising campaign!

In the meantime, users of these series can mitigate the security flaw in at least two ways:ġ) Set the security slider to "High" as this is preventing the exploit from working.Ģ) Switch to the stable series until updates for alpha and hardened are available, too. We will have alpha and hardened Tor Browser updates out shortly. Tor Browser users who had set their security slider to "High" are believed to have been safe from this vulnerability. A restart is required for it to take effect. Thus we strongly recommend that all users apply the update to their Tor Browser immediately.
Even though there is currently, to the best of our knowledge, no similar exploit for OS X or Linux users available the underlying bug affects those platforms as well. The security flaw responsible for this urgent release is already actively exploited on Windows systems. This release features an important security update to Firefox and contains, in addition to that, an update to NoScript (2.9.5.2). Tor Browser 6.0.7 is now available from the Tor Browser Project page and also from our distribution directory.
