Yes and Yes :P I have added a new category called Norwegian, where i will post in Norwegian language as well since I do see many readers from up North.

Først og fremst vil jeg takke for en fin blog som du har satt igang, jeg forstår i grove trekk hva som foregår nå,, bedre enn for en stund siden ihverfall, men det er kun i grove trekk. Har nå vært aksjonær i ca 3 år nå utifra tips fra folk i Norge. No problem, jeg har god tid, og spesielt nå, når du skriver litt om hva som foregår in the Company så ser jeg lettere på fremtiden, Vanskelig for meg å skrive her fordi jeg har igrunnen mange spørsmål som du antageligvis ikke kan besvare pga "innside" Men et spørsmål Tommy: Er det mange Norske aksjonærer med her?Du behøver egentlig ikke svare på det heller, men kan du opprette en liten bit i blog som tar for seg de grøvste ting av det du skriver på Norsk innimellom? Tommy, en liten Norsk bit her hadde gjort seg, jeg har selv opprettet topics på forum i Norge som hadde dratt nytte av dette. Lykke til Tommy,, Regards Longer from North Hei Tommy

Personally I believe they are not ready to make an impact on the business yet. We have seen other giant industries go down the drain now due to piracy, so I am quite surprised the gaming companies are not signing up left and right with us making sure we are working towards a future solution that will benefit them. I can tell you that the meetings I have been in with gaming industry officials, I was surprised how little concern they have about piracy, in fact that in that discussion they where more concerned about Nexicon's future possible monopoly to the industry, I took that as a big compliment off course, monopoly to me is assosciated with wealth. I have a blog I am working on for gaming piracy that will come shortly to a browser near you! Stay tuned that should turn some heads. gregh

I have done numerous presentations for government officials and their eyes and shown our capabilities. But it never lead anywhere to business arrangements. Reason I believe was that they did not see any relation with content piracy and government security :P But in fact content piracy has everything to do with all aspects of security and every little dark place on the internet. But again also we have not focused on government sales yet either, but we are in the process of building that part of our organization and we are currently looking for people that is interested in positions for that, no need to say words like cutting edge, next generation solutions and then some :P Gymmer, Yes you would think that!

Here is my short answer as I will not reveal to much, but what I can reveal is that we are probably the only company in the world, in commercial space that can do this today! This is a mix of "maxmind" IP traffic triangulation with algorithms that include delay and hop calculation bundled with "clock skew" computations. So in short very advanced process, and yes if we wanted to we could compute the speed and projected path of the vessels, given off course if we have multiple readings (piracy downloads). Remind you that this is not rocket science and is very easy for us to accomplish, but only due to our world wide infrastructure and computing power that has taken us almost a decade to get in place.

Is it using timings of packets via multiple different routes and plotting a spot where they all converge or are you using a commercial database like MaxMind's or is it something else entirely ? Most importantly, can you plot the speed and direction that the ship is travelling in by this method or is this a case of "last known location" ?

They could track troop movements simply by watching what the soldiers are doing on the internet during their off hours. Adds a new twist to the old saying "Loose lips sink ships". Tommy,
