The Pirate Bay Claims It's Going To Host The Site Via Drones Flying Over International Waters

Quote:

With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio equipment and tiny new computers like the Raspberry Pi, we're going to experiment with sending out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air. This way our machines will have to be shut down with aeroplanes in order to shut down the system. A real act of war.

Drone dogfights anybody?

Amateurs. If they were true pirates then they would host the servers in Zeppelins flying over international waters...

Or purchase a redundant space shuttle and host from space.

Or hack into an obsolete communications satelite.

"Professionals can track satellites from ground stations, but usually they don't have to because, if you pay a large sum [to send the satellite up on a rocket], they put it in an exact place," Mr Bauer said.

I used to work with the guy who knocked Skynet 4b irrecoverably out of position. Ended up sitting near 4a so was a complete waste of time and money.

Skynet 4b?

I'm guessing he looked a little like this guy:

and I'm guessing he talked a lot about "the machines".

OUCH! The Skynet system wasn't exactly cheap either.

He didn't also work on 1b did he?
