They used their mad $$$ skillz.

I'm also slightly confused though, as a person with a 10GB internet cap and a 500GB HDD. It would take me weeks to download 1TB, and I'd have nowhere to keep it.

I'm still confused as to how people managed to download 1 TB of data.
+1

I have a 250GB download cap and a 2TB HDD. The 250GB downloads was supposed to be 25, but the ISP made a typo (yay free internets).
Yeah, I could too download it, but there's no real purpose other than to prevent me from doing useful Internet things (?) and taking up all the disk space I was going to use for Minecraft maps (?).

I bet the people who download it are the same douchebags who buy Oculus Rift and use it to play modded Minecraft.

If you were using a 1 MB/sec connection (which isn't that uncommon where I'm at, and at the college you can easily hit 3-5 MB/sec) it would only take about 12.13 days to download (and about 1/2 of US internet providers are capless, so that's probably not a problem). At 3 MB/sec that shortens down to only about 4 days/100 hours to download. If you're willing to shell out a little bit more and you live in a big enough city you could probably get more around 15 or so MB/sec, which would put the entire download at only ~20 hours to download (assuming that the denmark servers could handle that upload rate of course).

Also don't forget that I'd be willing to bet a bunch of the people who have downloaded it are running it on servers as opposed to personal comps, which makes it much more likely that they've been upgraded to have the required amount of memory to hold it (current 2TB drive prices are about $90).

I wonder if the Danish government was in cahoots with Minecraft server hosts.

I don't know much about the inner workings of minecraft, but I believe the server is the only one that needs to hold the entire map. Players get individual parts streamed as they play. That'd make the most logical sense.

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I clicked on this for the dramatic headline, and then it just got more dramatic from there. O.o

that's what society has worked for, what with completely ignoring the pedosexuals who do their darnedest to not act on their desires while making the criminals nationwide news

admittedly, the latter is for good reason, but the former could use some revision, no?

i'd touch upon the rest of the article, but... i don't feel it's necessary, no. other than the sexually abused as children part, which would explain a lot and even justify a noticeable amount if within the right context but that's said by a lawyer, not psychologist.

No matter the reason, past or present, they deserved what they got, and needed what they got. They're obviously not stable, especially given what they were part of. I mean, look at it.

It is because currently society has absolutely NO sympathy for people who are sexually attracted to children. Even if they are unoffending individuals.

It sucks... but what are you going to do?

Except in this case societys treatment of pedophiles is irrevelant, as they killed someone who was on the sex offender registry, but according to the article he was on it for "taking advantage of a disabled woman". Which I assume to mean rape?

Yeah, that was just another layer on the weirdness of the whole thing.
I'm not debating the morals involved or whatever- I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole. It just made me go WTF in a big way, 'sall.

Just an FYI for you guys earlier, people who download a static version of the Danish minecraft map don't download the whole thing, just small chunks of it. Like if you wanted to mess around in Copenhagen, then you only grab the Copenhagen part. At least, that's what I got from the news report :v :P And obviously if you play on the server, you only load the chunks you play in~

That's what you 'scans want us to feel about static versions.
