I'll be at E.On Cycle Live Nottingham at Victoria Embankment, Nottingham next weekend (13 thru 15 July) - I'll be posting photos (possibly live video feed?) as well!
World of Tanks (I forget who the publishers are) also uses BitTorrent as a PDM. It's arguably quicker than relying on one server for delivery of patches to several hundred or thousands of players at the same time, particularly given that more and more games these days are persistent worlds. A ban on the protocol will hurt the gaming industry more than any of us know - and it won't be a case of simply falling back to optical media, since persistent worlds demand several tens of Gigabytes of data. One-disc install-and-go games are a memory.
Public servants are doing the public a dissservice if they're lying to them, and rightly should be publicly called to account if they lie in the performance of their public duty. Someone else lies to you, you can deal with it, but if say a building safety official lies to you about the safety of the building you live in, then someone (perish the thought, you?) is injured or killed, who's to blame for that? I'll tell you who: the lazy bastard who lied to get out of putting a potentially dangerous situation right. If you survive the falling gable, you can then (nay, should) call out that building inspector on his laziness and let EVERYBODY know that he cannot or will not do his job properly!
Mod parent up. Harvey, you are more right than you know. Check EVERYTHING you are told by ANYONE with ties to the Government. I mean EVERYTHING. Call them on it if you find out they're lying to you, and do it PUBLICLY.
the key word here is "believable" disinformation - where they can point to it and say "Oh, that? That's our information, and he had no authority to access it never mind distribute it". If it's a government document, then anyone found in possession of it may find themselves in the same boat as Assange, that being indicted for "aiding the enemy". That it is disinformation is a bonus; it does the Government no real harm since it refers to fictions, and as it's designed to be "believable" there's no way for anyone outside the information loop to be able to tell the difference between it and the real information.
nope, it's a Blitz Air Hawk with custom shell modeled on the Bell 222, in Airwolf paint scheme; SD camera mounted in the nose at 45 degree downangle and the H/S HD pen cam is mounted in the belly - pointed vertically down. Depending on the weight I may add another channel and put in a rotating axis for the belly cam.
There again I might go out on a limb and buy an Eskey.
I have an Air Hawk with built-in cam and with a little tweaking of the airframe, it now holds a digital HD camera (Hammacher Schlemmer pen cam, minus the ink barrel!), so two for the price of one (almost, the whole setup costs £90 including batteries).
For the sake of argument, let's say that I'm a dealer in refurbished secondhand computer systems. As a matter of course, I retrieve license information from the installed system, then replace the hard drive and install software using those licenses. Microsoft, via their lapdogs at the BSA, would have kittens and try to extort money from me (they've tried - truth of the matter is, I used to deal secondhand machines) for new OEM licenses but at about 75% the price of retail on top of "costs". This judgement (linked in the press release) tells me that Microsoft/BSA *cannot* do this, which has been my argument all along because the rights of Microsoft to further revenues from the sale of that particular license are exhausted *on the first sale*. This is Common Law, people!
Further points to make in argument: - The thing that bothers Microsoft is the license key. You can buy copies of Windows 7 OEM for a fiver, which is reasonable, or download an image which is even better (costs next to nothing). Do Microsoft care that you can do this? No. Why? Because... - They make the money selling *licenses*. Not CDs. This is the classic "get 'em hooked" lock-in, same as schoolyard drug dealers use. Give the stupid user a thirty day grace (the "free samples"), then fuck him over for a full retail license - having taken no money beforehand. IF Microsoft were so bothered about people being able to download their software, they'd not wait for the DoJ to step in, they've got more money than God. They can *buy* their own army and storm Sweden.
There is, but you can't see the wind turbine or solar panel on there because I hadn't fitted them yet. The amp and one of the batteries are visible mounted on the downtube; at that point (May 2007) I was just starting to think about some sort of assisted power...
Go chase cars, Sparky. I've already done it. 35W panel and vertical axis wind generator on the back of my cycle (both mounted on the helmet box) runs to a pair of 140VA marine batteries which in turn feed a netbook and 50W 2.1 sound system.
not quite. A non-State entity (ie private citizen) has the *right* and more importantly the *obligation* to lay evidence before a Justice to obtain a summons or a warrant. It is then up to the JP/magistrate whether or not to call in the CPS (if he does, then the evidence is passed to the police who carry out an investigation). If he doesn't then the complainant has the right to prosecute the case himself.
DI does not apply if there is a warrant out in a criminal matter.
Therefore, to avoid a diplomatic incident which could result in the expulsion of the Embassy staff (maybe even the Ambassador), the Ecuadorian embassy could be ordered to release a wanted "criminal" into British custody. He would be arrested by security staff in the Embassy and turned over to British police.
If, on the other hand, he is granted asylum, he could be helicoptered out to any of dozens of private airstrips around London (the Embassy does not have a helipad but there is one on the roof of Harrod's - still mildly inconvenient because it is right in the middle of the London No Fly Zone - Mohammed al Fayed has never been granted permission to use it!) then flown out to Ecuador in a Gulfstream (which can take off, fully loaded, from practically any 1-mile stretch of tarmac be it road or runway and make the flight with fuel to spare).
Problem there is, I don't think there is a privately owned Gulfstream in the hands of an Ecuadorian citizen, I do know for certain they (Ecuadorian Government) do not have a single aircraft capable of making the 5800 miles without at least one fuel stop.
If Assange had been SERVED he would also have been ARRESTED, since you can only be SERVED if the document is placed IN YOUR HAND by a person authorised to do so.
First, forget about connecting anything to the engine electrical subsystem. You've already identified the issue there, that being the risk of surging the equipment to death.
I would go with an isolated battery stack, a couple low-profile wind turbines and employing a substantial amount of roof area in collecting PV. This would easily accommodate the power requirements of a modern laptop (my Toshiba L755D draws less than 40W under load) and a late-model LCD panel (HP W1907v for example has a max load of 49W). Plenty of power there for an onboard computer, not including the sound system.
Then you missed the entire point of 9/11. I buy the false flag theory much more than the Arab terrorist with the indestructible passport fairytale. By making sure the general population is scared witless by the notion that a "terrorist" can strike anytime, anywhere, it's not too difficult then to get them to surrender their God-given liberties and rights for the mere *illusion* of security.
They deserve neither and will lose both. By the time they realise that their every movement and thought is controlled by the Few (forget the 1% shit, that's all it is, shit), it's already too late and they're even more indentured than when they started.
It's time we all came to the realisation that we are not free. Any of us. You think a prisoner in a jail is a prisoner? He's more free than *anyone* on the outside. He gets all his meals - paid for - all his medical needs - paid for - all his entertainment - paid for - the roof over his head - paid for - all the sex he could handle (beggars can't be choosy). The first step in freeing yourself from the shackles of total control is realising that you are all totally controlled.
Here's a clue to the kind of totality of control you're all under: George Washington. Abraham Lincoln. Queen Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg Gotha. J.G. Artigas. John Redman Bovell. What can you do in modern Western culture without money? Answer: not a great deal these days.
if they're making a federal case out of it (pardon the pun), then intent is at the very heart of the matter. It can be proved via cc records and details in the ICANN registry that he bought the domains, so that's not even on the table for discussion. It's for the Feds to prove that his intent was to extort money from "rightful owners" of the domains. I put that in quotes because they missed the boat - he bought the domains, he rightfully owns them.

a one way ticket, I trust?
you're talking about an artificial construct. I'm talking about a biological system. :)
"and I would rather be anywhere else than here today..."
No. FYI, the link is to a page dispelling rumours about Obama signing away free speech.
Basic human rights is what we need to survive: food, water and shelter. WE DO NOT NEED THE INTERNET TO SURVIVE.
The UN is a running joke.

if the answer comes back, "non merci" and they go and do it anyway... well, that's grounds for impeachment. Can you say "TREASON"?
