or buy a crappy one from goodwill or a pawn shop, pawn shop might have cameras goodwill probably not
An old dot-matrix or label / thermal receipt printer will do. Buy it at a Flea Market / yard Sale / hamfest / craigslist. Make sure you get a ribbon with it ;)
FTA: "There’s another option I didn’t originally mention here — leaking over mail. Investigative journalist Julia Angwin of the Wall Street Journal points out that physical mail, dropped in a random post-box with a bogus return address, is perhaps the best way for anonymous one-way communication." DO NOT DO THIS! Every printer leaves a microscopic fingerprint on every printout. The printouts can be traced back to you…

Hat and sun glasses? No, get a burka (the muslim body clothing that hides the entire body) -- not only will people want to avoid you, but they wouldn't even be able to write in the description what sex you are (and with a little bonus they might assume it is not a disquise in which case they are truly looking in the wrong direction).
Probably one of the easiest ways to stand out in a typical US crowd. More noticable than hat and sunglasses. If the purpose it to make video surveillance not as notable but also not attract attention than a large hat and sunglasses in hot weather or a scarf and hat in cold weather (even better) will do the trick. Also, modifying hair color and facial hair features is a good trick.
This advice is dangerous, because the author fails to mention other precautions the user can and should take, such as: * Use a Linux live CD on the "burner laptop" -- don't trust the preinstalled OS * Change the MAC address of the Wifi used to connect at the internet cafe * Use Tor, most easily via the Vidalia browser bundle The author also does not mention that leaking documents can expose the whistleblower via wate…
Buy a long-range WiFi antenna and connect from a distant location instead of going to an Internet cafe where you can be recorded by a lot of cameras in the way.
Or parking up and walking past the bank next to the coffeeshop a few more minutes before entering the coffeeshop?
You have to be even more paranoid if you are on a short list of people with access to the information - they will pull up all of your movements, possibly check traffic cameras for your care movements, etc.
Long range Wi Fi just makes so much more sense.
