That writeup was a godsend. So, if they've flooded the uncooled reactors with boric-acid and seawater nothing could possibly go wrong - and if they had been unmanned and allowed to meltdown, nothing would have gone wrong either. And the materials released in the radioactive steam decay completely within seconds.
No, wait, that was really stupid. It's a UN-affiliated guy who also has "extensive experience in aid coordination." As part of a 6-man UN team; 2 more people are on standby, presumably to pool into another team if they decide to send one.
Exactly. Swedish news says that there's been one search-and-rescue expert sent over (Maybe from the SSG elite military unit or similar?) but that they explicitly has refused help en-masse because they want every search team to be escorted by Japanese military personell - not because of nationalism or such, but because of practical and logistical reasons. They would get in the way - presumably they know what they are talking about.
A culture cannot "wipe out" another forcibly so easily, unless you commit genocide. However, I think what the parent is getting at is that people who like to "get along" and be accepting culturally usually are unable to appreciate the use of force in order to prevent bad things from happening. All use of force means that you impose your will upon another, but in order to avoid the acceptance-apathy trap one has to be able to be both judging and accepting at the same time, as the situation warrants.
And there's actually nothing inherently wrong about destructiveness - there is nothing wrong with being a spider, what's wrong is eating butterflies. And other spiders, of course, unless it's warranted.
That's value nihilism. In effect, it's the same as Pangloss saying that we "live in the best of possible worlds." I believe it's a misguided application of some people's understanding of "multiculturalism", that it means that we should just shut up and get along to avoid conflicts. This sort of thinking has hideous consequences.
They look like nasty bloodthirsty fuckers. Especially the one with the double chin. But maybe they also try to appear that way to scare obedience into their subjects/underlings.
To clarify, the above redirects all outgoing TCP connections and DNS resolves through Tor without needing anything else, and should block all other leaking outgoing traffic.It doesn't block identifying information being sent through Tor though, but that's a given. Bloody awesome feature, if a bit obscure.

to torrc, and then:
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -t nat -p tcp ! -d 127.0.0.1 -m owner ! --uid-owner tor -j REDIRECT --to-ports 9040 sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -t nat -p udp -m udp --dport 53 -m owner ! --uid-owner tor -j REDIRECT --to-ports 5300
sudo iptables -A OUTPUT -t filter ! -d 127.0.0.1 -m owner ! --uid-owner tor -j DROP
and then just add 127.0.0.1 as nameserver in/etc/resolv.conf. There where instructions for this on the tor wiki, but it didn't work right. Doing it this way also filters all traffic for all users except tor, and allows you to use tor without sudo. These rules also assume that you don't have a lan, otherwise just add exceptions for 192.168.0.0/32, etc.
Fail. You have to lead him on a bit more, perhaps with garish examples of frivolous lawsuits and paranoid police actions before you can make him doubt for a moment that he's not going to gitmo for posing sarcastic death threats.
Yes. And they're fucking vicious, let me tell you. You think that horn is for decoration? It's a significant contributor to the shortage of wolves in the region. There's been attempts at planting out dire wolves, but the reindeer-holding sámi population started complaining about thinning herds...
They might have ulterior motives for making this sort of statement, even if they know it's futile. Leading the client on for more pay, temporary publicity for their company, etc.
Actually, the only part of executable-level exploits that takes any humanly perceivable time at all is if the shellcode searches through process memory for bits of itself or otherwise, or if the exploit has to try several times to succeed. Or, obviously, if it takes time to get the application into the exploitable state. But under ideal conditions an exploit program can have a shell-process/in-memory payload program spawned almost instantly after the program is run.
And why shouldn't it be? If I'd link with someone and transfer thoughts or memories intended only to harm that person, that would be assault. It would at least presumably be very distressing to the receiving party, more so than a punch to the face probably.
Or, a DDOS. DROMEDAR GAYNIGGER BICYCLE BEAVER TRIPLETS! PRAISE BOB! People with ADHD would be considered assault weapons, at least until someone invented a filter. Which, as it would turn out, *does* fit into 30-40 bytes. But maybe we'll find out how to transfer memory or thoughts/sensations before figuring out how to automatically process it? That would be a real problem, and would probably limit the technology to only receiving input from trusted sources. Or maybe the processing would require you to tote around a full cyberdeck/commlink, like in Shadowrun.

According to the writeup, fatalities are impossible - unless you where standing on the thin roof when it collapsed from the hydrogen gas explosion.

I believe the term in US English is "shyster"; the equivalent term in Swedish would be "brännvinsadvokat", lit. "schnapps-lawyer".
Nah, go for Finland instead. Isn't Norway even more USA-friendly?
He has no political power whatsoever. Not at all. Not even on paper. He's not even supposed to make political statements, if I remember correctly.

Also, tor transparent proxy support FTW. Add:

Maybe. But I'm talking more about the not-giving-a-shit attitude of lawlessness. The crude blue-eyed naivety, though, that's very Swedish.
Yes. And they're fucking vicious, let me tell you. You think that horn is for decoration? It's a significant contributor to the shortage of wolves in the region. There's been attempts at planting out dire wolves, but the reindeer-holding sámi population started complaining about thinning herds...
On the other hand, you could argue that thepiratebay itself and their way of running it is very un-Swedish.

They have/had a lawyer as "part of the team".

Yes, but that's just empathy. It's not the same as actually transferring the experience and thoughts from one person to another.
Just reading off the sense data would be terrifying enough.
