erjiang··on Tor operator charged for child porn transmitted over his servers
Actually, just consider that illegality is defined by other humans, often arbitrarily.

A system that protects the privacy of users who have "American" free speech is simultaneously a system that protects "criminals" who violate blasphemy, royal-insult, obscenity, or any number of other laws in other countries.

Unrelated to topic, but for Mandarin you should check out chineseclass101.com. They have some cliched advertising, but they have a lot of audio lessons that range from zero to quite advanced, and the lessons themselves are much more entertaining and "real-world" than Pimsleur's imo.

Also, flashcards using Anki to memorize vocab and characters are effective, but not something you should be doing while driving!

erjiang··on To boldly go where Node man has gone before
Go has a growing number of packages for things that you might want to interface with: http://go-lang.cat-v.org/pure-go-libs and http://golang.org/pkg/ There are already packages for most databases, data interchange formats, crypto, etc. that most people want to use.

Another draw of Go that you didn't mention is the language and toolchain design itself. I know Javascript better than Go, but would rather write servers in Go than JS.
