I believe there are plenty of old people who are too dumb to realize they are being taken in on the Nigerian scams. I believe there are plenty of people dumb enough to open email attachments.
I still can't believe there are people dumb enough to fall for those spam emails. Especially pharmaceuticals... who would put medicine they bought from a spam email into their body?
Why root a Windows phone, why not just get an android phone to begin with?
I know... most Windows Phone users will have been issued the device from work, or be novice users who didn't know what operating system the phone had on it. But still.
Encryption can be broken eventually. If this exists I'm confident it's been heavily worked on and the interested governments probably know what is in it already, either through force or sources within the wikileaks circles.
This isn't a case where martyrdom is an issue or like taking out a head of state. He has no followers or government protecting him. His only leverage is the release of additional information, and he's still living solely on the trove of documents that Manning gave him.
If, say, he had something that the Russian government considered especially damaging, he'd have gotten the Litvinenko treatement. Look at that case - only minimally deniable, the world knows who did it and why, and there weren't really any consequences.
I'm not advocating this. I'm simply asking, if he's such a threat and if the US government routinely does this kind of thing, it would be easy to do and easy to cloud or deny enough to avoid consequences, so why haven't they done it?
I agree with this. While I don't appreciate what they have done lately for compromising the balance of diplomacy in the world, I agree with the concept in principle.
But they have gone from supposedly wanting to expose any kind of corruption to exclusively battling to undermine the United States which is not an admirable and utilitarian force for good that assange and slashdotters believe it to be.
Worldwide intelligence services have more than enough information about him to move whenever they wanted.
If this was something they were considering, having him whacked, why wouldn't they have done it before this past leak which was the largest ever?
The reason he's still living is that he hasn't exposed anything embarrassing enough to Russia, or another country that doesn't have any problem getting their hands dirty.
Wouldn't a monopoly have... I dunno... a large market share?
In June they had 28% of the market: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/06/06/apples_iphone_market_share_three_times_greater_than_android_in_us.html
So they fixed it no problem if they could swap the processor out and AMD took the financial hit, but if it was their own low-bidder motherboards bought from a fly-by-night manufacturing firm in Hon Hai that doesn't exist anymore, you were getting stonewalled.
The market got it right in the end. Dell is a shell of its former self in large part because of the poor organizational culture. They paid for their sins in market cap.
Slashdot Mirror
If the state said this to you, it would be an egregious sin.
Why is it a good if someone else says it to you?
He would then be with people who had just as fringe of an ideology of course.
The ideology that all information no matter how sensitive should be public is just as fringe and destabilizing to the world as Al Queda's ideology is.
Who cares, it's the year of Linux on the desktop, not on the server. duh.
I wonder about this too.

No, but the fly spot is where we got the champagne
This is probably more on the China-spying-on-Google-And-Others that we already know

You can't get this content anywhere else?
I don't understand this analogy. Can I get a McDonald's analogy?
The main thing I think about this is "Why would an iPhone user waste their time on this app?"

In Soviet Russia, phone wipes you!
Luckily I'm not a network guy or anything. I just use the Mickey Mouse email client.
as an employee of one of the remaining groupwise customers I think this falls in the category of "anything would be an improvement"

Not much of an advantage really...

I for one welcome our memeing overlords.

This will surprise precisely no one who's ever done business with Dell.
