NYAH! Any bacon that got excited and read this epic-fail!
Not that I'm feeling immature at 1.44am or anything.... ::)

My exact location at Midday on the 30th of this month
That's an oxymoron :o
Besides, if someone really wanted to and had the IT knowledge it could be found out anyway ;D

NO amount of IT skill could locate him if he were in a rowboat trying to cross the Atlantic to make a delivery to a customer of his in the US without his phone and computer.

Lol who says I even have a phone or computer? I call people by using wale-sounds and I use TOR via digital telepathy......I'm that fucking good... 8)

But the fact that he is posting this tread proves that he is using his phone / tablet / computer.
Believe me, where there's a will, there's a way...
Thankfully law enforcement don't have:
A) The financial will.
B) The intellectual way.

stick to those guns oscar!
he's posting here, so he HAS something to allow it, but he might be nowhere near it on the 30th, and if being on a computer today can allow someone to locate me 3 days later when I am away from said technology, then I gotta put my tin foil hat back on today (I just hope they havent planted a tracking chip in my hat since last time I wore it.

Lol they deffo don't have the financial will in the U.K. CUTS CUTS AND MORE CUTS OF THE BACON! That is one of the things I'm quite happy Dave and George did tbh, less man-power = more earning power.
Going on to the whole TOR security thing Oscar is right, any human-created system IS fallible and we have to be prepared for the fact that there is the possibility that one day the Pork-Products and their chums in the Alphabet-Mafia could crack the golden onion. It's just highly unlikely they will do it any time soon and it's not that likely they will focus on that to fuck SR because of the expense and manpower it would take and there is a lot of easier methods they will try first, these being the weaknesses of BitCoin, the improper laundering of funds acquired via SR and then stuff like mail profiling for packages that get clocked.

The easiest way to track someone is to post in their thread with a link to a picture saying "hey ho wow wow wow look at this awesome cool", wait until they click the link and then boom use a java driveby which the Tor bundle allows to get their source IP.
There are other more exotic ways, but you can Google them.
-
but how will he click those links from his rowboat. internet access isn't easy to come by, mid ocean, anyway

Is it really that simple as clicking a link?

Is it really that simple as clicking a link?
Yes but:
A) The link has to be a purposefully set up trap. Not just any idiot can do it, for example someone with basic knowledge of programming (Java) and web design would be needed.
B) On a thread many people could click the link, so you have to use social engineering to work out which person from the clicks is your source IP. For example if you expect someone who lives in Germany to click the link as they've talked a lot about Germany before then you'd be looking for German IP's in the many IP's you'd get from clicks. Although this is incredibly simple, just mildly time consuming. This is why social engineering is particularly powerful.

how well does a Tor isolated VM protect against this? I have also heard of using a program like proxify, but have never tried it (don't kow it's compatability with linux, and trust the isolated VM tutorial I followed to set up)

I'll be at Circle K peeing on the local Mexicans like I usually do on Saturday if anyone's interested. :)

It doesn't protect against it all...
In all seriousness I was just be facetious, whilst finding someone's source IP is POSSIBLE and not too difficult, the skills of most law enforcement agencies are nowhere near making it possible so you don't need to worry.
If you really want to protect against such an attack however you simply need to go to your Tor Firefox settings and disable Javascript and other scripts, but expect a lot of websites to not work, including this forum properly.

I have scripts disabled in this browser, and the only thing that doesn't seem to work is quick reply

I laughed at how terrible it was if it makes you feel better. ;D God that was awful.
-
roflmao, that was one of those jokes that is funny just cause it's so bad lol.
-
Lol no they don't have them in the U.K. Also does anyone think that the company that owns Circle K sounds funny as fuck?

Add a bit of immature humour and that sounds like Elimination Douche-Tard....

According to ol' Wiki we did have Circle K's in the UK
"Circle K was previously in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, acting as the food-store portions of many Shell stations. The Circle K brand re-entered the Canadian market in 2008, in connection with Couche-Tard's acquisition of Irving Oil's convenience store network, as discussed below..."
