Assange isn't being extradited to the United States, he is being extradited to Sweden. Your example has nothing to do with this case. The women making the complaint say that Assange assault them. There isn't much room for confusion here.
Those are just excuses to get Assange out of Ecuador embassy in London. The rape complaints are very suspicious, they were filled late. Issuing international interpol warrant based on those accusations only is unheard of. This whole case is political and it's clear that he is harassed for his anti-government activity in wikileaks.
Can we just all agree that this was over before it started and move on? I'd hate to have to write a script to remove any articles with BitCoin in them from view like I did with the Kardashians...
No but maybe you can write me a script to remove all your unnecessary comments from bitcoin articles?
Where i live everybody plugs their projectors because they have no wireless capability. IMO it's stupid to throw away perfectly fine projector just because some new overpriced laptop doesn't have suitable port for it. I'll just choose different laptop.
My first reaction was: how many stupid slashdoters would label Assange as egomaniac, rapist and criminal based on totaly misleading informations in summary, how many slashdoters would rather side with opressive practices of U.S. (and other) governments instead of Assange and wikileaks, which are trying to fight it?
The answer is predictably and unfortunately: quite a lot.
I usually go to kickass.to for the mainstream stuff or to karagarga.net for rare/artistic pieces (unfortunately karagarga is private tracker and it's very hard to get invitation).
That's ultimately the problem with these arguments. A system without any sort of intellectual property makes it much more difficult for anyone to spend significant time on any given creative project, since no money can be made from that lost time... let alone taking any time to learn a skilled craft.
Wrong, we can have system which ensures money for creators without intelectual property. We can for example replace the current copyright law (which ensures that you pay for something because you can't copy it) with mandatory monthly payments (you crowdpay creative works you like, you can choose what to support but you have to spent something based on your income/wealth etc.) and the resulting works could be in public domain available to everyone.
Net neutrality doesn't mean that ISPs can't use QoS to mark and prioritize real-time traffic like VoIP, IPTV etc. over http. They can do it but they must not discriminate between different VOIP/streaming providers. For example net-neutral ISP cannot prioritize its own streaming service and throttle competition like Netflix.
Yes. Cleaning the homes of people who own factories.
What happens when we get to a point where we just don't need everyone to work in order to provide the goods and services people want? I'm thinking we may have already reached that point in some developed countries. Then what?
Unless we're prepared to have some big (and forced) reductions in populations, we had better get comfortable with larger welfare states.
As technology and automation advances, there will be more and more job oportunities. The problem is, those jobs will require very high specialization and qualification which only few percent of population can reach. Not anybody can be rocket engineer,microchip designer etc.
I agree with you that wealth redistribution (in the form of welfare, basic unconditional income etc.) is the right solution.
Guess what doesn't happen on my server? Yes, random hardware appearing and disappearing while it sits there for years running one app... Systemd has no obvious benefit to servers
Just because your server doesn't take advantage of hotpluging doesn't mean that other people don't use it on their servers. There is plenty of scenarios where hotpluging is useful for servers, please don't force your server usage pattern on everyone else. I for one welcome the changes which systemd brings even for the servers.
I don't see what this person could have to gain from this other than just being a dickhead. Heaven forbid someone be different from what your approved normal is. What a pathetic jerk.
He could force facebook to change it's stupid real-name policy?
I'm still waiting for an example of how to get to this so-called vulnerability, without using a different security hole to get to it. Either some moron letting the web server call bash directly, or someone not sanitizing his inputs.
I disagree that using shell CGI scripts should be considered security hole any more than using CGI scripts written in any other language, but if you want other examples of exploiting this bug you can do it via malicious DHCP responses processed by dhcpclient or by env. variables passed when loging in via SSH.
but if you don't do something stupid like eval your those environment variables it doesn't turn into such a mess.
Your CGI script doesn't need to do anything at all. The rogue code injected into the env. variables is parsed and executed by bash when it sets-up the environment for your script.
Of course, now you have your "wage gap", which in reality is a "work gap".
This is not true. Any sane methodology used to compare wages excludes over time hours (which are paid separately, at least in EU). See for example the Methodology paragraph on this site, which describes how they do it in UK.
No, they accept USD, or whatever fiat currency they specify, with a transaction processor like Bitpay converting BTC to fiat on the spot.
I think you missunderstand the meaning of the word 'accept'. From merriam-webster dictionary:
accept verb \ik-sept, ak- also ek-\
: to receive or take (something offered)
: to take (something) as payment
: to be able or designed to take or hold (something)
I think that it is clear that to 'accept' something as payment you don't need to hold it afterwars. You are free to convert it to something else or use it in any other way you see fit. To give you some example, few people would argue that steam, google play or blizzard online store is not accepting euros because they convert it to dollars after the purchase.
I can think of one downside: People might be less willing to pay with Bitcoin if they don't get the protections that they'd get from their bank's credit or debit card
Accepting bitcoins doesn't mean that you stop taking other forms of payments so this is no valid downside for merchant who start to accept bitcoins in addition to existing forms of payments.

Patents That Kill
·
· Score: 1
For copyrights, the content creator's remaining natural life plus ten years, or 40 years total, which ever is longer.
Reasonable limit would be 10 years initialy + 10 year extension if the creator wishes so. The best solution would be to abolish copyright completely and provide money for creators in some other way without artificial limits on content distribution. Current copyright doesn't help creators, it is tailored for the needs of distributors because it is a mean to control distribution. Creators don't need distribution limits (it is actualy bad for them as it lowers their exposure to potential audience), they need money.
Patent law is more complex and i think that the current model is not so bad, the problem is the patent office which is not competent in patent aplication review and juridical system which makes invalidation of bogus patents expensive and lengthy and which enables patent trolls to thrive.
Gravitational lensing does not require either dark matter or dark energy. I find it odd that the NASA link discusses Einstein as the person that came up with the theory, yet fails to mention that Einstein did not theorize these two "dark" things. Gravitational lensing is a result of having curved space and obviously gravity. Dark * is not required nor expected..
Einsteins theory doesn't use gravity at all. It works with mass and energy which cause curved spacetime which then causes gravitational lensing. The dark matter is predicted by this effect because we can't detect enough normal matter to justify the level of light-bending we can observe. Dark matter is also predicted by several other observable phenomena like the speed galaxies rotate around each other or cosmic microwave background.
It's a blockchain. It's know what portions were stolen. Send a message out to all people involved in this scheme to not accept them. Oh right - that would undermine the illusion of "freedom".
Please try to send the message and let us know how it worked. I think that you'll discover that your "illusion of freedom" is very far from actual reality.
