I find it interesting that the article uses the term "TOR" even though the Tor FAQ clearly states the following:
Note: even though it originally came from an acronym, Tor is not spelled "TOR". Only the first letter is capitalized. In fact, we can usually spot people who haven't read any of our website (and have instead learned everything they know about Tor from news articles) by the fact that they spell it wrong.
you are, of course, right. but it's irrelevant to this point. there is a strong consensus, that it's 'Tor' and not 'TOR'. there is _no consensus at all_ on 'gnu/' or not 'gnu'.

> since tor's control port does not directly support using a unix socket
Note, this part is incorrect, the tor control port works over a unix socket natively. I just spent some quality time with the torrc manpage and am in the process of fixing my setup.
