Do the Russians really want to kill him? It's embarrassing to the Americans, not the Russians.
This sounds like, if you don't do what I want, the big bad wolf will get you. The big bad wolf is bad... really bad, and he is going to hurt you, unless you do what ** I ** want
now come closer so I can protect you "but grandma what big teeth you have"
The Russians are probably laughing at the Americans and their leaks
If "The Russians play by different rules", then he is
Safe from assassinations, like the Americans tried with Castro Safe from taken to an island, imprisoned without judicial oversight for a few years Safe from kidnapping, flown to foreign countries and given a Spanish inquisition style interrogation Safe from torture, in prisons in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo bay Safe from the white house making up some story and getting the "intelligence" agencies to rubber stamp it as true (... WMD in iraq)
Since when does having high rates of corruption mean there are plenty of people willing to risk their lives, their families and jobs? A more reaonable person, would think In a country with an active and strong internal inteligence agency, little privacy, little human rights, plenty of cover up and run by a polite but a strong man. People would be a little bit hesitant about leaking damaging documents
A reasonable person would think, if the russian government can imprison the yukos guy and take his money. their richest, 16th richest in the world, and hence one of the most powerful people in russia. (copy 'n paste not working and I can't be bothered to type the wikipedia url)
you are doing a character assination job on the guy, because of a tenuous guess to a hypothetical (the hypothetical being there are leaks from Russia **to** wikileaks) Oh and yes, many people based in Australia and other countries run away and hide, when the venezuelan goverment is upset with them. Yep venezuela is well known for assasinating forigners living outside of Venezuela.
yet somehow he (they) are not scared of china
You either watch too many movies or have ulterior motives.
I replied, so that perhaps your eyes (and your fellow country men & women) are opened, and you don't believe the propaganda, I don't mean offence or to put you or Hong Kong down.
sorry, but free world or free country is associated with democracy. economic freedom or free market is different, a good thing (for the greater good) but different. a free port, is also something else, that's a tax status.
corruption *perception* not sure how it's measured, but I presume it's not the same as actual corruption rates, in any event there are some democratic countries with higher *rates* of *actual* corruption than dictatorships. UAE a kingdom is less corrupt than Israel, Spain, Portugal, Taiwan. Also Jordan a kingdom is less corrupt that Italy, Greece. http://www.worldaudit.org/corruption.htm
That government "thingy" is important for free / freedom, you can't just wave that aside as a small "thingy"! How does Hong Kong rank for democratically elected government, how does it rank in freedom of speech, freedom of press?, civil liberty?
what about the projects helpfulness to new people and number of patches gathering dust in bugzilla There are a few high profile projects that I'm discouraged from contributing to, as there are a lot of patches sitting in bugzilla for years.
It's too late if the hacker is from another country, those American organizations can't help you. e.g. google china hack ( by the way a lot of other companies were affected ) how did those American organisations help undo or ensure it does not happen again ?
If your company isn't american then you have even less assistance then that.
Sure they can help you find out how it happened but the damage is done!
Great, can you provide a link to the open specs for rockets, space shuttles, satellites How about the great open contributions by say the department for agriculture, commerce.
you are confusing releasing/contributing into open source / public domain and having all your work public domain.
The licensing costs will be paid for by earth's internet users, wonder what that is 50c a person ? Whatever increase in prices it's a win for Australia, which get's a billion dollars.
If you want a country to subsidize the R&D an hence profits for foreign companies, lead the way.
USSR defeating Germany in WWW2, gave the atomic bomb to the USA and threaten the USSR Germany losing WWW2 gave the atomic bomb to the USA, which used it to defeat Japan. Germany losing WWW2 gave the atom bomb to the USA, which (thru france) gave it to israel
Israel ? you are kidding. to quote wikipedia "Israel was established as a homeland for the Jewish people and is often referred to as the Jewish state" So when a country is established for a religious group and it's outright majority is from said religious group, pop quiz what does it make it ?
I remember NSA rumours associated with google, like a lot of ex-NSA people working there or something. it would not surprise me if google turns out to be an NSA operation, why look for the information if people will come to you and let you know what they look for, who their friends are, contents of their emails, what pages and sites they visit, what language, where they use a computer from, add latitude and you have where they are in real time, google maps where they go and where they start from. Picasa what they look like what their friends look like, google docs and well.... google desktop and well.... lots about a person. Or am I paranoid?
The idea that people only follow laws due to fear of punishment is a standard tactic used by religious people to attack the non-religious, and it's a load of horse manure.
I thought religion was about collecting money, running peoples lives thru unverifiable threats of eternal damnation and generally being self important.
The Chinese guy commited suicide, while interogated by security (the companies) and roughed up. yeah sure he jumped! not thrown out the building or slipped while they were holding him upside down from the window like in the movies.
really? you don't take a pen home, print a couple of pages, photocopy something personal? nothing! good for you. What if you could not be caught at all, would you steal, no one ever would know, no one, come on, sure you would not. Most would, in fact the majority of people would break the law for a reward, if there is a guarantee they would not be caught
*ps* here is hoping this post does not come up in my trial(s)
your number are interesting in a huh kind of way, the amount of densely used areas of earth as a ratio of earth size is very small. when all the land is packed. there is still the oceans which is what 70% of earth. We have a long way to go before using 30% of earth's surface.
bizarre, there is no good reason to spawn new colonies thru frozen embryos, that does not help the original mother planet. Come on it's a good story, visionary but completely pointless. The best result is one of the colonies will discover something and bring it home to mummy? well that can be done here as well
you think so, the closest we have to splinters, is USA, Australia and maybe Canada from the UK and you know what, they are very very close. So perhaps you are wrong, specially since, Australia & USA have a lot of intake from other countries yet continue to be closest allies

relax dude, why are all your posten so serious
No. Nobody's moving away from Oracle - that rhetorical question doesn't make you sound like a smartass, but rather its less intelligent opposite.
That would be a dumbAss, right ? where's my cookie
Is that Aurelius from the gladiator movie, or the real emperor ? seriously.
