Both Sweden and the UK have an extradition treaty with the US, and the US would like to see Assange "face justice." I know I would sure as hell not leave that embassy if I were him.
True. It *should* be legally possible to smuggle him out in a diplomatic bag (this kind of thing has been done before), but the UK police have promised they'll arrest him if this is tried...which seems to violate Ecuador's sovereignty. But there's been silence on this threat the whole time, even though the UK government apologized for their threat to storm the embassy, which is legally exactly the same.
I don't think it'll make any difference, most of the "market" for this stuff is happening on darknets and the content is just spilling over onto the Web. If Google can filter it out it's no real loss, unless CP sites are somehow operating profitably in the open.
...to gush loving, glowing praise over unchecked, jackbooted authority like a Twihard over (Edward/Jacob) once again.
You can't trust anything the NSA says at all. They have everything to gain by lying their asses off and nothing to lose. Assume they're intercepting and recording anything (which personally, I'm pretty sure they're doing) and don't assume that there are any limitations to their access to that info. If you buy any of the backpedaling that's been coming out in the last few days, much of it submitted to Slashdot by cold fjord...well I have a bridge you might be interested in.
Even if this article describes the access interface of some analyst at some agency...all the info is still there, your privacy was still violated.
I don't think they're going to be using computer vision to try to identify child porn, they'll probably be using a database of hashes (either file hashes, or some kind of "image hash" that can identify pics even if they've been resized, recompressed, added a watermark etc) of known child porn. It's slightly helpful and has a vanishingly small chance of false positives.
Naturally-occurring human genes is a narrowly defined set that isn't patentable, but still this will save many lives by allowing cheap genetic testing for things such as breast cancer susceptibility.
Emissions analysis requires a van parked outside the building where the server is located, it's a lot more effort, it's not the kind of thing they'll do for just anyone. Traffic analysis, as a means of finding any meaning in the encrypted data stream, can be defeated by transmitting random garbage data while idle.
Pro driving is another one. There are two ways in: Win a national karting championship before you hit puberty (requires Daddy's Mad Money), or pay a 5-digit sum for "pay-to-play" racing and hope you get noticed.
If it makes you feel better, you're an exception to the rule and unpaid internships do far more harm than good overall. Without this institution maybe it would have been easier for you to get a job just by showing experience and skill, unpaid internships contribute to the "job requirement inflation" that has made a Bachelor's degree the new high school diploma and wants everyone to have 5 years' experience.
This. Servers you control, communicating using strong encryption set up by yourself alone.
And even this assumes that the NSA doesn't secretly have any cracks for any strong encryption algorithms. Rumor is they've found a way to efficiently brute-force low-level AES.

They've stated just recently that there willing to host him indefinitely. It's surely costing them less than one policeman's salary to host him.
And then there's this little-known fact:

That was September last year, he's still wanted for questioning.

Presumably he prefers an internet connection to being able to see the sun?
Internet connections offer information, entertainment, and easy self-pleasuring, the sun is hot and painful. It's an easy decision.

That's for the future Rectal Rainbow Drive model. They have to start with legs first. Baby steps.
Well since it's a Zelda map, you should be allowed to run in and smash every jar in sight :-D

Old user account by the name of mendax...would you happen to be stuck in a building right now?
What's the saying about not believing the government until an official denial?
Johns are the pimps' customers, far different from an employer/employee relationship
every government action is actually a loss for both sides.
No libertarian cherry-picking of facts in your post.

You're either the ho or the pimp. Pimps don't have bosses.
Ferraris are for suckers. Get a ZR1 and mod it, and wave at the Ferrari drivers as you pass them.

There's nothing more frustrating as a black hat to hammer away at an apparently impenetrable and indifferent target.

Wow, so I guess you got over your self-destructive masochism and got a nice job eventually?

Yep, that's where the phrase "You'll never work in this town again!" comes from.
So do you think they could make this go away if they renamed themselves "the file bay?"
