That's just the thing, wikileaks is providing media coverage of things that are glossed over and ignored in traditional media, things that should be brought to light and be under the closest scrutiny a free democratic republic can provide. Thanks again for the insightful replies.
Thanks for your well thought out reply, those are some conceivable uses for that equipment which I was looking for. By no means do I think you are condoning chemical warfare. As far as security council vetos, well I guess that's why the operation wasn't a UN peacekeeping mission in the first place. Still, I feel the existence of the labs and dispensing equipment justifies wikileaks actions, as I would like an official response as to why they are necessary (and never would have dreamed we were packing equipment that could potentially be used for such horrific war crimes), and I also hope some light will be shed on the enourmous expenses incurred in this futile war.
It's a complex spectrum. There are mining guilds who are communistic, pirate guilds who are anarchistic, some who are fascist dictators of their guild, others who have highly stratified bureaucracies and still others who have little need for ranks or hierarchy. Most guilds are multicultural, yet some are nationalistic only having players of one real world country, and there are some who roleplay the ingame factions and only have players from their faction. There may be no ingame mechanic to set yourself 'socialist' or 'anarchist' but such a device would artificially limit the politics. As it stands, the EvE sandbox has the best political and diplomatic atmosphere of any MMO I've come across.
I figured they were getting paid by them all (well perhaps not Creative Commons, but surely with eBay and Amazon), just with Google default they provide the lions share of revenue.
That would eliminate my main objection to nuclear power, as well as most objectors I know who are mainly concerned by radioactive waste and meltdowns. You seem very well versed, are there any such reactors currently used commercially, and if not how long should we expect before we see one?
It will work if it's done subtly and non intrusively, like GMails chat system but not like how this Inbox 2.0 is sounding. Still, it could work alright, current inboxes are fairly primitive repositories that could use this sort of personal touch. Either way it'll happen - it's got Buzzword 2.0 technology, how can it fail?
Sure, you can explain the mobile chemical and biological weapons factories as a defensive measure, but what of the two dozen odd chemical dispenser guns? I cannot conceive any purpose to them except application of a chemical agent on an enemy.
It seems this would provide a pretext for the UN to invade Iraq and drive out the coalition. I mean, the occupying force actually has all the stuff they claimed they were invading for and never found.
Simple solution to the age problem - grow a beard. A bearded IT professional commands fear and respect from his less hirsute colleagues, with his utter contempt for the mores of civilised society bristling boldly from his chin. Caution - only recommended for male IT workers.
Only the last three are needed, as the first is unimaginable in most commercial contexts. It might apply to government contracts, large corps like Sun, IBM, MS, Google etc. but all resources are limited to some extent. Assuming limited resources, it simplifies to:
Yeah, but you can hardly blame logic faults on the language, and sure bad C is horrific but elegant C is poetic. Its only fault in my eyes is not being low level enough to get both the unimaginably ugly and beautiful hacks you get in raw assembler.
You can never thwart every attack by infinitely clever criminals, but you can take security measures that are well established for paper voting and reimplement them. Not only opening source code but having it verifiable at runtime by various partisan third parties would seem an obvious first step to legitimate electronic voting. This would necessitate a second layer of open source runtime analysis tools unless experts were available across parties for all electorates, but again these can be independently verified if open. Unfortunately this creates an infinite regression - how to verify the verification tools. To minimise this issue, instituting a manual count using printouts with the existing processes alongside should be mandatory, and no final count given until the physical record is thoroughly scrutinised by human eyes.

Although you wield a velvet flamebait yourself, it's a well established fact that around here commercial tv is utter tripe. I mean, just look at how they treat sci-fi, the epitome of our civilizations literary and artistic merits! It's an utter disgrace! How DARE they cancel Firefly!
Well, you know, he had to concede, there was a chance the wrong Skull & Bones member might get in. How are you going to establish a royal family when a Prince can't even continue his fathers legacy, or a Queen supplant her King?
Here I was thinking Americans were all for the free market and capitalism, where competition like that of linux and VIA is encouraged and free trade agreements that abolish protectionist tariffs are signed to benefit both parties economies. You want to impose a tax on China - who do you think you are, the King of England? No taxation without representation!
If this threatens the market share of either MS or Intel that is a good thing for every American, and a cornerstone of our affluent western capitalist society. AMD has kept Intel lean, mean and efficient while inadequate competition has made Microsoft lethargic and bloated. MS needs to shape up, and there's no better way than some healthy competition. Monopolies are no good for our free markets, capitalism requires decent competition.
Theft is a misnomer, plagiarism is more descriptive, but hey theft will do. Sure you can quote sections of text with proper attribution under fair use, but 2 verbatim pages would probably be considered theft (IANAL etc). The guy that wrote most of it put his work in the public domain for anyone to use however they see fit, but the other contributors haven't and still own the copyright to their works. The copy on Wikipedia is covered by the GFDL and one of the conditions is derivative works must also be covered by it. By the license, this guy must remove the section or comply and release his work under the GFDL.
Wikipedia isn't public domain, although I really feel it should as it's publicly created and publicly editable but that's just my opinion, and I do like the GPL and its variants. It's an interesting case, and has made me ponder further the implications of the GPLs viral nature over traditional public domain works. It makes a great weapon against the true copyright abuse, in that works should enter the public domain far sooner and not be indefinitely extended by corrupt officials as they are now, but so would huge amounts of public domain material. I'd prefer that the authour was allowed to do this, as it seems in the spirit of Wikipedia to be 100% plagiarisable, but it's not so my opinion is moot. Unless every contributor agrees to public domain status for their work the book is most probably violating copyright.
Well after that little rant, I'd like to acknowledge your point that/. can be hypocritical. It's not so much hypocricy though as GNU adoration - theft is ok till you mess with RMS. It's a fairly consistent view.
Damn straight. A cracker is someone who penetrates tight layers of security to crack (hence the name) vaults containing large deposits of valuables. I never saw the correlation with computer crime, it's just not there.
While not ideal, you can still sate a childs thirst for computing knowledge offline. Even if not connected to the outside they'll have a lan. It's still a good idea either way.
Let's have a look at jobs going at Intel - woah, only 243 positions available right now in China. Lets have a look at where they are and what they do.
Beijing - Find out more about Intel's lab, research center, and sales and marketing offices in Beijing, the capital of China.
Chengdu - This assembly testing facility, which opened in 2005, has four factories and two general-purpose buildings. The Chengdu site assembles chipsets using Intel's most advanced packaging technology.
Dalian - Plans have been announced to build a 300-millimeter wafer fabrication facility in the coastal Northeast China city of Dalian. Read more about Intel's $2.5 billion investment that will become Intel's first wafer fab in China.
Shanghai - Read about Intel's three major facilities in Shanghai, including manufacturing, labs, software development, and sales and marketing.
Shenzhen - Read how the sales and marketing office in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone provides world-class support. So remember kids, buy Intel to support our friends in Red China.
In other words, it was such a simple and obvious solution to a distributed computing problem that they shouldn't have had a patent awarded to them anyway. Well, that and you shouldn't be able to patent algorithms in the first place.
Incorrect. A lot of them - in particular, the unemployed who get paid for doing nothing and large numbers of public sector workers who get paid for doing very little - like the system.
Irrelevant. The majority of French voters like their system. That's called a democratic republic in action.
Far right is NOT extreme right, it is the difference between being loving your country, and hating foreigners.
Far or extreme right are subjective terms depending largely on what your own views are. To a communist, the centre appears extreme right.
To any outsider, the US political system appears far right. The fact you think the rest of the world are communists is again irrelevant.

I don't think you so much moved the theater as inflate the amount of people working behind the scenes.

I've heard this often, but its the first time I've heard the GPs equation.
Well, I'll enumerate it to point out why I feel the GP is superflous to the three points you provided.
Difficult + quality + speed = huge amount of resources
Difficult + quality + resources = slow to create
Difficult + speed + resources = low quality
Quality + speed + resources = simplistic
Only the last three are needed, as the first is unimaginable in most commercial contexts. It might apply to government contracts, large corps like Sun, IBM, MS, Google etc. but all resources are limited to some extent. Assuming limited resources, it simplifies to:
Difficult + quality = slow to create
Difficult + speed = low quality
Quality + speed = simplistic
Which is your more easily pitchable equation. Still, the GP would be useful if you can draw on vast resources.
Yeah, but you can hardly blame logic faults on the language, and sure bad C is horrific but elegant C is poetic. Its only fault in my eyes is not being low level enough to get both the unimaginably ugly and beautiful hacks you get in raw assembler.
