Hacker News Reader

Can someone explain why you can't just use the IP address to track it down? I mean some ISP somewhere must control it, and they must know what physical link it's bound to, etc...

I believe from what I have read, that they have multiple servers that all mirror each other all around the world in run of the mill hosting. They also have load balancers that are in places more secure, all that will be taken down is the load balancers.

yes, would love to have some comments on that too

I thought it was common knowledge that their servers were in a particular datacenter underground.

That would literally be the most impressive thing performed by the swedish police the past year, if true :).

Which would be kind of sad.
