It is a certainty that any well-funded terrorist group will eventually have access to nuclear-scale weapons, and probably in the next hundred years. We need to fix the social problems that cause terrorism before that happens.

AFAIK by any definition, well funded terrorist groups that have nukes ideed exist today and are governments such as the US Gov. or UK
As in they use vast resources to terrorize their own citizens through media, flu bs or whatnot and some foreign citizens as well such as Afganistans' or Iraqs' and many others.

booo terrorists.
there are no terrorists.
thank you

The Pirate Bay to Become a Distributed Storage Cloud? 131

Posted by ScuttleMonkey from the volunteer-to-make-your-computer-run-slower dept.
eldavojohn writes "After announcing the sale of The Pirate Bay to Global Gaming Factory X, it was unknown what would become of TPB. Details of the future plans have been released. 'According to Rosso, GGF plans to build a massive "storage cloud" on top of TPB that would use individual users as storage system's nodes. Apparently users can opt out for being part of the decentralized storage system, but then they'd have to pay a monthly fee for the service. More resources the user is willing to commit for the service, the cheaper the monthly subscription fee will be ... GGF's plan is to harness the resources users are willing to allocate to the cloud service and sell that computing power and bandwidth to 3rd party companies, essentially creating a service that could be used as a content delivery network (system that most large sites — including ours — use to deliver static content, such as images, software downloads and stylesheets, faster to the end user) or even as a web hosting cloud. As the service would use P2P technology, it could bring massive savings to ISPs, as the delivery of content to an end user would be provided from the closest possible "node," most likely from an user within the same ISP network.'"

tell you how. this is what happened to my machines (webserver and users). users got infected by some trojan. code was downloaded. executed with admin privileges. my webmastr was infected. ftp passwords were sniffed. all index*.(php)|(html) files were added the injections code. some others as well as phpbb logins etc etc. from there more users were browser-infected. some of those had ftps or such on other sites. rinse. repeat. i cleaned the servers fast as i was in standby at infection time luckily. since then i only work online from ubuntu. webmasters and staff as well. we need those adsense money, i can't risk some stupid windows fuckup rob me. nice lesson learned btw it was about time for some drastic action.
