I admit i don't use flash very often because it's annoying and Adobe's flash plugin uses way to much CPU, but is it still needed? Gnash has worked for me every time I've tried it lately (admittedly mostly for youtube). Tried it now with a flash game and it seems to work.
I would say there is some effect in Iran. They may not have succeeded (yet? I'm not up-to-date on the situation I'm afraid) but I believe that they have instilled some healthy fear in the leaders.
Wouldn't the number of erases drastically drop? Imagine that the every block on the SSD has been written two once. If you want to write anything now you'd have to read a page, erase, write back with the change. So if one assumes that on the filesystem this page was mostly empty a whole lot of garbage was just written unnecessarily. If this page was preemptively erased you'd only have to write the new stuff and the rest of the page will still be free.
Intention matters as well. Does he enjoy helping more or doing violence more? I agree that it's probably more chaotic good than lawful evil though. I was trying to be trollish/funny/YMMV
you can pretty much walk up, grab a nearby metal stick, and start busting people in the face for being assholes. It's always fun to rip the shit out of people for being total dickwads, you don't have to be gay to enjoy that!
You know... lawful evil is not all that much better than chaotic evil =)
If one assumes that the users are lazy and will only do the bare minimum that would mean (in order): 1 upper case letter, 3 lower case letters and 2 numbers. This would translate to 26 ^ 4 * 10 ^ 2 = 45697600 permutations. That wouldn't be very hard to crack. And that is without using dictionaries!
The guarantee of delivery and guaranteed order sounds pretty worthless when doing file transfers. If there are missing bits the client can just request them later.
Uhm... You do know they are the biggest bittorrent tracker in the world, right? That takes a bit of bandwidth and processor power for which they receive NO money! They only have ads on their (pretty crappy) search page. Since they are a pretty "gray" site they can't get the best advertisers to their site and will have to make do with less money for the ads.
They could see which Iranians are using TOR which might be enough to get the user into big trouble. They might not see the originator but that doesn't really matter if they just want to collect Iranian IPs of people using TOR.
It's a lot more subtle... If foreign agents nudge a bit in certain directions it may tip the scales. Of course anything more than nudging will not work... Disinformation is a very helpful tool for manipulators.
It's not the germans' trust in their government that is weird. It's the americans' distrust in their. Maybe it has something to do with how fucked up their election process is and how often their politicians screw them over?
While you are correct in that random search is pretty worthless, evolution is not really a normal random search. Genetic algorithms are pretty good in some cases

That would at least mean we could keep them sterile until they are 18.

Cracking the key would not be easy... How ironic that he should lose access to his botnet when he needs it the most.

Are you afraid that if you get blinded by sperm you will be eaten by a grue?

From whom do they receive money for their trackers services? Does mininova pay TPB or something?
The pirate party has nothing to do with TPB.

I assume somebody has disassembled the binaries and looked at them (of course then we would have to trust the disassemblers=)
Isn't that the point? If they worked hard they wouldn't have to be made fun of. It's a great incentive.

Well knockout is a synonym for "hot babe". Shouldn't be too hard (of course I'm sure there will be something else that will be very hard for it)
