Do want.

It'd be horrific in hot and humid countries, scalding in hot ones and cold... You'd need socks at best.

If only there were platemail shoes to go with chainmail oversocks and cloth socks.

The title roughly translating to 'Attack on the trench' is the thing describing a video my friend set up when he was 10. He showed it to me today.

There's no fucking way that thing is not being shown on one of our class' meeting hours.

That's actually pretty good.

[FritzPL]

That's actually pretty good NOT

[penguinofhonor]

Hey, it's way better than anything I could make.

[Dutchling]

Pretty cool if you'd ask me.

[FritzPL]

Alright, well, maybe it is good, I suppouse - I wonder what he's gonna say when I show him these posts tommorow

[PanH]

It's quite well made. Quite impressive if he was only 10.

The Pirate Bay is now hosted in North Korea.

The Pirate Bay is now hosted in North Korea.

How delightfully ironic.

[pisskop]

. . . North Korea = 'Pornmaster'

[FritzPL]

OH MY GOD

I was looking for a North Korean pirate picture, but to no avail.
This is gonna give me some interesting plot to follow.

I'm getting 0.1 Mbps on this college network. This school offers dozens of computer science courses, including networking courses and certification. Why is the network so crappy so often?!

The Pirate Bay has been hunted in many countries around the world. Not for illegal activities but being persecuted for beliefs of freedom of information. Today, a new chapter is written in the history of the movement, as well as the history of the internets.

A week ago we could reveal that The Pirate Bay was accessed via Norway and Catalonya. The move was to ensure that these countries and regions will get attention to the issues at hand. Today we can reveal that we have been invited by the leader of the republic of Korea, to fight our battles from their network.

This is truly an ironic situation. We have been fighting for a free world, and our opponents are mostly huge corporations from the United States of America, a place where freedom and freedom of speech is said to be held high. At the same time, companies from that country is chasing a competitor from other countries, bribing police and lawmakers, threatening political parties and physically hunting people from our crew. And to our help comes a government famous in our part of the world for locking people up for their thoughts and forbidding access to information.

We believe that being offered our virtual asylum in Korea is a first step of this country's changing view of access to information. It's a country opening up and one thing is sure, they do not care about threats like others do. In that way, TPB and Korea might have a special bond. We will do our best to influence the Korean leaders to also let their own population use our service, and to make sure that we can help improve the situation in any way we can. When someone is reaching out to make things better, it's also ones duty to grab their hand.

If TPB manages to turn Korea's stance on freedom of thought & speech around then that will really show up the international community.
