Wow, must be nice to be able to judge, without reservations, someone in a corrupt, violent, third world country who is trying to weaken a brutal dictator. And to do it from the comfort of your pleasant, suburban existence.
The truth has a force and direction of its own. It is not Wiki Leaks task to be concerned about the path that information takes nor the consequences of exposures.
Yes, got a little mixed up, the CIA is an independent agency. But the State Department's mission includes working with the CIA, including providing cover at American embassies, and the State Department has its own intelligence agency, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research which also gathers information. So I should have said the BIR instead of CIA. My point is still the same. Or go ahead, say that the Secretary of State's job does not include ordering the gathering of intelligence. No? Didn't think so.
Since it was a circuit court of appeals decision, does this set precedent in other districts? Hopefully it won't be overturned by our good DoJ friends up in the Supreme Court during an appeal.
It can be used as persuasive authority in other courts; the fact that the 7th circuit made this holding strengthens similar arguments elsewhere. And not sure what you mean by DoJ.
Interesting...a little hard to decipher, though; these are just standard servers loaded up with standard everything? Does every "instance" load up a fresh, clean profile?
I didn't "give up," just in subsequent attempts to learn programming (including college level classes), I found it extremely difficult to think in terms of subprocedures, classes, etc., and I think a lot of that was because of the linear nature of the BASIC programming I learned on the PC Junior.
That said, I do NOT like the way several world governments are railroading Julian and creating trumped up charges. The US govt. is leading this hunt,
Honestly that is unproven. Motive does not equal guilt, and it's disturbing how so many otherwise reasonable people state as fact that the US is behind the charges in Sweden.
Does anyone know of any reputable services that actually sell virtual desktops? I'd really like some sort of centralized place I can log on and have things set up like I like them, be able to store files, etc. but haven't been able to find a place that just offers that, just whole servers.
Anyone who truthfully answers, before hearing the evidence, that they are unwilling to apply the proscribed penalties shouldn't be seated. It betrays a lack of judgment and critical thinking skills.
I just find it fascinating how posters on this story are blasting the patent system and the entirety of the United States itself based on a single, solitary email from some unknown guy. I don't know how any reasonable person would assume with such 100% certainty that this single patent proves anything about any fact other than "once upon a time some guy managed to obtain a bad patent."

Where did you get that conclusion from?
Out of curiousity, what country are you from?
His charges are nothing near what anyone would consider rape.
Really? I would consider "he had sex with me without my consent" rape.

Fortunately most moral people disagree with you.
Oh really? They didn't work in Iraq and decades of sanctions haven't worked in Cuba.
They actually DID work in Iraq, though they ultimately were pointless because we went to war. And sanctions did work in South Africa.

Well the DoJ can't overturn decisions. The most they could do would be to have the Solicitor General's office file an amicus curiae brief.

Other sites claim they support free speech, but when the going gets rough, they will usually protect their bottom line
Aww, stop bashing slashdot, OP.
In your experience? Do you deal with many tyrants?

You think he only faces a $700 fine? What are you basing on this?
Obviously, you do with your blind support for Wikileaks.

"People who view this as a revelation must have a very naive view of the world. "
"What? The woman who runs the CIA engaged in spying? The horror!"
"And if they gave that info, do you really think they wouldn't have been bombed by now?"
Wait, so secrecy IS ok, huh?
They're frequently right. BASIC was fun to learn as a kid but probably derailed me from ever learning proper programming.

I don't remember seeing all slashdotters saying the ipad would fail COMMERCIALLY, just that it was nothing really special.
Why are all these ipad competitors doing 7 inch screens?

I need to defend myself and to keep WikiLeaks afloat
So is he waffling on his long-time insistence that he is not wikileaks, but merely a member?
