Protection applies only if you are a Swedish citizen. The judicial systems does not even have to be involved at all if a foreigner such as Assange would be deported to the US.
Look at how long it took the UK courts to decide that he really should be extradited to Sweden. That too me shows that the UK system kind of works. When he gets over here to Sweden the question of extradition to the US would not be a court matter but a matter for the Foreign Minister and thus could happen in seconds. At least in the UK he has some protection against that.
To enforce full restrictions (i.e not be able to read books, newspapers etc) on jailed people has been more and more common. So I don't think that this is done specifically to Warg, for example people who is sent to jail for breaking and entering are also put under those restrictions most of the time.
For several years now prosecutors have requested that full restrictions (i.e not be able to read books, newspapers or watch tv, listen to radio and so on) should be in force for most people in jail, at least that is the trend here in Sweden so it would not be a stretch to imagine that the same is happening in Denmark.
Most people never notice this since it only affects "dirty criminals" anyways, but sometimes one or two members of society is put in jail and headlines like this occurs since people for once can see the harsh reality of the judicial system.
Yes that is true but there is also great motivation from the Wayland and MIR developers to implement support in the current toolkits so even if support won't happen in the stable version from upstream it's quite likely that we will get it anyways. For example Canonical have implemented MIR support in both SDL1.2 and SDL2.x. I assume here that they are also working on GTK2 and Qt, and something tells me that Red Hat will do the same for Wayland.
Granted, the last time I checked linux makes the memory space of every process for any uid available to any other process running under the same uid (unless you're using SELinux). It is just that big unixy trust-everything-local attitude.
Which mainstream OS does this differently? AFAIK this is the way it works in Windows and OSX aswell, unsure about the BSDs though but I wouldn't be surprised if they also do it like this (it would be a pain to use things like strace or shared memory otherwise and the MMU tables would be quite big)
Step 2 can also be "do nothing" since the toolkits can implement support for Wayland without changed the major version of the toolkit so the application can link to the very same.so as it did before. Also the user might run XWayland and then even the old X11-only toolkits will work out of the box.
According to the article in The Guardian the attack was supposed to be in the guise of a firmware patch and not a looming vulnerability in the BIOS:
"Among the more eye-opening claims made by NSA is that it detected what CBS terms the “BIOS Plot” – an attempt by China to launch malicious code in the guise of a firmware update that would have targeted computers apparently linked to the US financial system, rendering them pieces of junk."
Which of course makes this even more ridiculous, because how could the NSA thwart a fake firmware upgrade from happening by "closing a vulnerability"
Well I'm on your side and I agree fully with you but the Chinese are not a single individual, there are probably fractions inside the Chinese Government that don't want their economy to be dependent upon the American consumers and also could benefit from an economic decline.
Where did you get that crazy idea from? It's true that many stations distributing a 1080i image is recording them with 720p cameras but that is a completely different question.
The content usually displayed on a Monitor (high contrast text) usually have a higher resolution requirement than a moving image. For example a Blu-Ray movie can look absolutely stunning an a big screen while surfing the web can look completely rubbish.
Yes that is well know:) but still regarding your original claim that my country historically had included the right to pillage and rape in other countries, I would still say that this is probably legal in most countries.
Just look at Assange for example, Sweden wants him extradited for Rape-charges but I have a hard time seeing that Australia would prosecute him for performing rape in another country which in essence makes it legal for Australians to rape (and possible pillage) in other countries.
The cost for us has been marginal, in fact we switched to completely develop everything on Linux and cross compile with GCC when building the WIndows version even though the majority of our customers are WIndows users.
To further your idea with the VMs, the increased usage of the "cloud" have increased our users requests for Linux versions of our software so I think that you are on the correct track!
I can only answer for myself and the reason that we develop for more than one platform is so that when/if the change happens then we will not be left behind (and fly by the competition when they have to stall all development for a few years in order to create a port). It was common sense to only support IE4 back in the day also, not so fun for those guys when people started to switch to Firefox et al.

Just forget that they are held in two different countries with very different judicial systems...
Norway has a very different judicial system than Denmark. If I would ever be put into prison I would want to be sent to Norway!

Microsoft isn't that stupid, they do not use SourceSafe internally.
I just looked at the source for Apport in Ubuntu and it does encrypt the crash reports when they are sent to Launchpad since they use HTTPS.

That benchmark don't show what you think it does. It's between X and XWeyland, that such a setup have overheads is no mystery.
TOR is not an entity and even if they managed to get hold of the exit node there is no logs left there to point back to the previous node and so on.

Ah, the famous: "An error has occurred because: an error has occurred"
You don't "have to". My SD DVDs look much better on my 1080 screen than they did on my 480 screen and then my 1080 is also way bigger in size.

While content would be nice it's not 100% necessary. My 64" 1080 Plasma shows SD content much better than an 64" 480 Plasma ever would have.
Who buys a larger TV just so that they can sit further back in the room? I bought my 64" to get a bigger screen, not to sit far far away.
More likely from his underground base in an abandoned sub way station.
