Neither John F. Kennedy nor Nikita Kruschev would have had the support of their governments had their positions been known because of something like a Wikileaks release.
Why would you assume that the public would have chosen nuclear war over bargaining?
By the way, wikileaks seems quite resilient. Seems pretty easy to establish a mirror: http://wikileaks.ch/mass-mirror.html ; and there are LOTS of them right now: http://wikileaks.ch/mirrors.html If somone were to make a small linux distro with even easier wikileaks mirror setup, it would become tantalizingly close to impossible to bring it down. But it would have to be someone with good computer science skills; where would you find these people nowadays?
well this "operation payback" has struck gold before, against the blackmailing towards alleged filesharers:
Operation Payback hit ACS Law a second time, knocking out the site. In the process of bringing it back up, someone exposed the server's directory structure through the Web instead of showing the website itself. Those conducting Operation Payback immediately moved in and grabbed a 350MB archive of ACS Law e-mails, then threw the entire mass up on sites like The Pirate Bay.
This is more than a matter of mere embarrassment. The UK has tougher data protection laws than the US, and the country's Information Commissioner has already made it clear that ACS Law could be on the hook for hundreds of thousands of pounds. That's because, in addition to his iTunes receipts ("Hooray for iPads. I love mine," Crossley says at one point) and Amazon purchase orders, the e-mails include numerous attachments filled with all manner of private information: names, addresses, payment details, passwords, revenue splits, business deals.
now would be a good time for google to say that google checkout will only block services that have been convicted guilty under a court of law. This would hit paypal hard, and perhaps even the CC companies. Oh hell, one can only dream of a just world.
step 1) friend them both up; step 2) Change their relationship status to "married to $each_other"; step 3) consider why AC seems to be a little on the slow side, exchanging sarcasm for homophobia.
(In Russia, almost all of the software sold is unlicensed (it has been like that at least several years ago). Given that Russia is a populous country, floods US and other developed countries w/ programmers and generally is a flourishing business, one can only assume that Russian software market cannot be dismissed during this assessment.)
You made an informative comment about Russia? That's not the way we do things around here, son. Watch it.
I think a more interesting thing here would be to share desktops in (hopefully) a one-click magical and revolutionary solution. Idea 105's time has come.
is it too much to ask that at least/. users start linking to the google link to the url? Both the NYT and the WSJ let you bypass these walls when you're coming from google. For instance,
this link makes you collect underwearwhile this link is PRoFItz!!. Come on,/. editors, seriously?

perhaps because I think that spying on UN officials is the serious crime here?

So the getting of DNA samples from UN authorities from US fucking diplomats is something that in your opinion all those taxes are for?
it seems that donations to wikileaks are still being processed by this startup: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2010/12/08/wikileaks-continues-to-fund-itself-via-tech-startup-flattr/

Freedom of speech, priceless. For everything else, there's Mastercard.

A mashup of this would be to marry two guys in the same starbucks. That'd be cool. But it is something I am morally strongly opposed to.
The more and more I hear about how crack rapes your pipe and your wallet, the more I wonder how people are willing to pay for it.

He should tell his boss to go AC next time. But nice try, Dr. PR GoodForUsers.
wrong forum, anon
Or if you want to be more avant-garde about being modded down, rant about how Ubuntu is vastly inferior to your favored microdistro.
Ubuntu is for noobs; Microsoft Linux is vastly superior for those that know what they're doing.
for a hundred bucks I'll answer your question
oh, and if anyone out there is interested in this idea, be sure to check out project epidermis

I have no idea about the rest of your claims, they may very well be true.
Oh, I see, you work at the patent office
Seriously, no government organization would be stupid enough to try to "take someone down with" such flimsy accusations
wmd and Saddam?
