But there's an incredibly simple answer to this: TPB simply uses the same cloud providers as thr RIAA, MPAA, TimeWarner, EMI, Sony, UMG etc.
In fact, they could revert to physical servers placed in the same data centre as (for example) UMG's servers. TPB simply places a big "Property of UMG" sticker on the front of it's box, and any police raid would conveniently leave that server still in place!:)
Security by obscurity/deception, FTW!
Now that's something I would love to watch the security camera footage of. HA! Good one. Good one, indeed.:)
Really? I have a really hard time beleiving that the police would in any way raid the sites of Amazon, Google or Microsoft. It wouldn't happen.
Oh, not THOSE ones.:)
The ones with TPB in them.
Now, if TPB could get in the same vm hosting data centers that any of the large corporations are in..... but they can't because they have to stay outside of the U.S. territories.:(
Indeed. The police are still brutes in many countries in most regards. If they really do this (and I expect there will be quite a few in power that are stupid enough", this could change a few things though.
That's what I'm a'fearing. Make it more difficult, release testosterone in the opponent, crash, recover, later, rinse, repeat.:-/
It needs to take into account all the heat it generates and the CO2 produce to calculate the heat it generates and the CO2 produced to calculate the heat it...
But it won't. They're the same models, only faster. And its really easy to test them... put old data in, see if you can accurately predict what happened next. None of them can.
Well, sure you can! You have data from yesterday (literally) to plug in now. That'll change those results, it will!
That's right, you OWN those bastards that are splitting off someone else's cable to get cleaner OTA broadcasts. When you do, they'll have to go to the trouble of moving their TV/antenna/both or *gasp* buying an antenna.
Now the logic here makes so sense. And wait, is that what you're really addressing here in the first place?
If the person can't afford cable, and can't even afford an antenna or other means of clearly receiving OTA broadcasts, you cutting off their ability to have free better service is sure gonna make them spend WAY more than they have to purchase your monthly service (and Hell, maybe even add-ons)!
No, that doesn't make sense. So the logic is that.... you don't want people splitting off coax in-house (via paid service) so that there can be more than one channel watched on more than one broadcast receiver at a time? That will get you two things: more money for more 'converter/dvr boxes', and........ Oh, wait, that's all it gets you. More paid service. An extra $5 a fucking month (that's what Time Warner charges for extra boxes). That doesn't account for the cost of the boxes and the maintenance / service work associated.
Okay, so you're pissing people off and going to this level of effort to get some extra money (which will make you lose customers as well as gain some extra small bills), so it's a wash if not a loss. Makes no sense.
So what DOES make sense then? WHY would they do this?
How about the 'OTA broadcast networks' requiring that cable companies provide them with logged use data in exchange for a big cut in licensing costs? Could that be it? Hmm.

You think they are using RAID5 or RAID10 to stop the police?
Geeks. Psh.
Oh, wait. :)
Megaupload should have seen this earlier!
LOL I think they were 'running' before they were walking.

Now the (police,feds,both,etc) are going to shut down multiple cloud-hosting data centers just to prove they are still king. Watch. Just watch.
They've got 72,000 cores, but their software license only allows them to use 2 at a time.
Bah, doomp, tsii!
If climate scientists run a supercomputer in a room full of warming skeptics, does it give off any heat?
Which one generates more heat? I need a grant here; come on!
It needs to take into account all the heat it generates and the CO2 produce to calculate the heat it generates and the CO2 produced to calculate the heat it...
That data is called "anomalous" and discarded.
But it won't. They're the same models, only faster. And its really easy to test them... put old data in, see if you can accurately predict what happened next. None of them can.
Well, sure you can! You have data from yesterday (literally) to plug in now. That'll change those results, it will!
Weather prediction = 7 days (mostly wrong)
Climate prediction = 1000 years (no idea on accuracy)
Gee I wonder why you would need more processing power ...
I tidied that up a bit.
Every time one of these knuckleheads at the cable monopolies pull this kind of stunt all it does is encourage people to pirate stuff.
Sorry, I have to add... "AND most of the time the pirating occurs over internet service on THEIR NETWORKS!"

School buildings were always hot when I was a young'un back in the 80s.
Ahh, memories.
If you're not popular and noticeable, you don't need to show up to class. Just pay another student to swipe your card for ya.
Wait, I'm going to end up in prison now for suggesting that idea. I didn't type this!
Come on.
Anyone who does that much work/effort to get malware on their device (as opposed to browser bugs, random click-throughs, etc) deserves to get pwn3d.
So this will help the U.S. have the highest performance?
I kid, I kid.
So the company whose coverage is third to worst where I live, has overall coverage that is third largest worldwide.
Nice.
So the logic is.... If politicians like an entity (or use it on a daily basis), it should..... not be affected by pre-existing laws?
Just checking...
Now it's a monopoly! *snicker*
Oh, come on. I'm just playing. ;)
To me, having multiple operating systems on a computer is like having multiple wives--there's no tangible downside to it, but it just feels wrong.

On the other hand, "Pics and it probably didn't happen" actually does work. :)
We do have a remarkable propensity for trying to mislead one another don't we?
It's like the species, collectively, is a pathological liar.
Survival instinct + intelligence = interesting maneuvers.
