yes. would like to point out if you know how to hack cable modems to get online the ISP has no idea of who you are.
open up an account on silk road. when you want to buy something that costs 100 btc, send the 100 btc to silk road, then withdraw it to the address you want to pay...
buy wallet.dat and password
from someone through OTC
or through site like btcnearme.com

It's impossible to hide IP address when I send bitcoins. I could do it with a proxy, but I'm not sure that the proxy doesn't keep records about me. So any payment can be traced to the origin. And an Internet provider knows physical address of the person whom IP belongs to. Even TOR can be hacked to reveal my identity.

You don't need to have complete anonymity because you have plausible denyability. If you are running a full node Bitcoin client your IP could be shows as the origin of any transaction and your transactions could be shown as originating with any other peer in the Bitcoin p2p network.
just use an online wallet like blockchain.info, then use it to send payments, the IP address would be blockchain.info's address
Speaking on this, BlockChain also has an optional "mixer" you can send/receive Bitcoins with for an extra 1.5% fee.

When the research paper was done how to hack onion routing, that was in 2000 when there were far fewer such nodes in existence. For someone to successfully hack Tor now would mean they would have to have sniffers on a substantial part of the internet infrastructure because there are tens of thousands of computers running Tor nodes all over the world now. What is feasible and what is practical is miles apart in this case. We need more Tor users, spread that word instead!

You just answered your own question.
I wish Bitcoin had anonymity as a built-in feature...
You just need to make sure that you obtained the Bitcoins anonymously, and that your internet connection is anonymous.
Every internet connection is non-anonymous for the Internet provider.

Use a free public wifi on a prepaid wireless device, though I doubt TOR can be hacked if used properly.
In my country I have to show my passport to get a password for public wifi in a cafe.
