what does 'evading arrest' really mean? in this context?,=
Being told by the court to show up in the UK. Not showing up. Having a warrant issued for his arrest. Running away from that warrant.
It really is quite simple. If you think this has anything to do with rogue nations, then you're over thinking it. The case that you mention against him was dropped last year already. But speaking of...
assange did not feel that the law was correct and I agree
To be clear the law we are talking about is the law of two independent sovereign states (UK and Sweden) who both examined the case against him and both concluded he has a case to answer for. What you're describing is also a breach of human rights and he could seek protection from the European Court of Justice... but he didn't because quite frankly the notion of not standing trial for rape just because the country in question has an extradition treaty with the USA and they may sometime in the future put through a request is just absurd.
Oh and then he broke his bail conditions, so you can add another very simple and very plainly obvious and completely unrelated crime to the list of why he should face the courts.
Notice from your own link that the limitations apply to when a claim can be filed. To be clear the claim was filed against him a long time ago. Statute of Limitations no longer applies.
You can't be extradited from the UK for a crime that isn't also a crime in the US. So "thinly veiled" in this case means: determined to be a crime in 2 separate sovereign states.
The only thing thinly veiled is is the excuses people make for him effectively not standing trial for any crime committed in many countries just because that country may have extradition treaties with the USA.
Is this implying that the CIA director keeps secret information on things like ipads and non-secure cloud storage????
Is this implying you don't realise the number of companies and governments who have approved cloud storage and mobile devices to store secret data?
The iPad part of your comment is especially headscratcing. For all the shit I heap on Apple constantly, failure to offer ways to secure data on devices is not something I criticise them on.
No other major manufacturer has these types of delays for new models.
No other manufacturer came from nothing to making a unique product with such demand in such a short time.
Ford and Toyota are huge goliaths, that CAN deliver on target, and we know they'll be around a decade from now.
Can they? One of those companies received several billion in bail outs only to close factories and miss their earnings forecast by a large margin. But sure if you're completely clueless I can see how you think anything like this is a done deal.
Personally I thought the single largest Korean car manufacturer backed by one of the worlds largest conglomerates who had no problem with production or delivering on target would be around a decade from now too. Shame they took an axe to their business and sold off the remaining shards.
Except nobody builds lots of factories all the same. Automakers for example build different factories with different lines to produce different vehicles.
Actually plenty of people do. Especially since we're not talking about Automakers here but rather makers of generic lithium battery cells, anticipated as being the most sought after product in the coming years.
It's different because most companies realise this and try to underpromise and overdeliver publicly.
Wow, you've never read a corporate statement that wasn't tweeted by a CEO. Maybe you should actually read a company's quarterly report at some point and you'll realise that there's not a single company out there that underpromises anything.
So you give someone something openly, and then because they refuse to let you kick them in the nads you're claiming you're being stolen from? You're delusional.
You want to protect your content put it behind a paywall, until then we're not stealing shit, not even in the RIAA piracy is stealing way.
Yet, the professional reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes loved it. They could not stop gushing on it.
So did I, what's that say? Maybe there's more to a movie than a single one dimensional element like the plot inconsistencies.
You see Batman v Superman didn't just have plot inconsistencies, it just made no sense, it was incredibly stupid, it was poorly direct, the action was a mess, it was hard to watch, hard to understand, and the climax was just a major WTF that made me happy the movie was finally over.
A lot of those are individually forgivable. Together they make a horrible movie. The Last Jedi by comparison committed far less faux pas. It had stupid moments, but was overall good.
Not quite. Cognitive dissonance only really reflects on negative aspects unless something is really really expensive. I.e. you part with $50000 on a new car you're going to look for things you hate and justify they are bad because of what you spent. You part with $15 and something needs to be incredibly frigging terrible for having spent money to have an influence.
Hell, why not just buy all the seats so you don't have to put up with other people?
Because I don't live in a city full of assholes and everyone else in the cinema is polite and curteous? That and I'm not spending $2580 to see a movie.
Unity - adopted because Gnome Shell was a bucket of shit that looked unfix-able. Dropped once Gnome Shell became "fixed". Upstart - adopted because sysvinit was garbage and there was no replacement providing the suitable features. Dropped once systemd became suitable. Wayland - I assume you meant mir? adopted because x.org has it's warts on a modern desktop and it won't ever change without a ground up re-write. Dropped because Wayland became suitable. Wayland still the default, still shipped and still supported is only not the default for a single LTS release with a different use case than the rest of Ubuntu. Nautilus... well I honestly have no idea. Upgraded, regressed? Didn't notice. Didn't make a difference to my system.
Et al. - Yes when you're as big as Canonical you have the resources to try and solve your own problems. That doesn't mean duplicating other's efforts. It's a testament to them that they drop duplicated effort when something better actually comes around.
The one they fixed through the introduction of polkit to allow fine grained access control to the system. If you don't understand why Polkit exists and why it's preferred I don't expect you'll ever understand the security aspects of what Wayland specifically avoids here by design.
No wonder, since you apparently live in a cave and have never heard of Geico
Well I have now. Clearly it's a company that ads geckos to meetings.
The ad wasn't meant to solve your video conferencing needs, it was meant to be an entertaining video to raise awareness of the mobile app, and maybe get some people to share it. And hey it worked -- you found the video on Slashdot and you don't even know what Geico is and you know they have a mobile app. I'm a Geico customer and didn't know they had a mobile app until I saw that video.
If the mobile app was useful and you as a customer needed a video ad to find out then the marketing department should also fire the people who weren't working on this advert. Also entertaining videos on their own do nothing. After watching it I have zero inclination to even type Geico into google.
I'm glad marketing works on you so easily, but then as an existing customer who apparently just needed to find out they had an app, they could have told you in a much cheaper way.
Hollywood asks everyone to pay $10-$15+ for a theater ticket or DVD to see their movie.
That is completely irrelevant. Many of us have the disposable incomes to not care about spending $15 for entertainment. Heck when I saw Batman V Superman I even paid extra to get a comfort chair. The fact I watched Bright for free didn't change my opinion of either movie.
One attempted at having an original idea and at least had a coherent story line. The other was an unmittigated cluster fuck. You couldn't say it if you shouted out Martha for no reason.
Batman v superman and Bright rated equally on Rotten Tomatoes for Critics.
Bright rated significantly higher with audiences than Batman v Superman. Bright had no history so it didn't even get rabid fans praising something with Batman as "can do no wrong" so the already lower score of Batman v Superman can be "downcorrected" too.
Bright was good. Batman v Superman was a messy turd of a movie. Don't compare the two.

Breaching bail conditions and contempt of court include leaving the country while there's an active case against you.

So what crime did he commit in the UK, for which he should have been arrested?!?
Contempt of court. Something that is a crime in most countries.
You can't be extradited from the UK for a crime that isn't also a crime in the US. So "thinly veiled" in this case means: determined to be a crime in 2 separate sovereign states.

I get texts that let me know when the ISS will be overhead
So what you're saying is we already have this thing in the sky and there's no reason to make another? Yep, couldn't agree more.

And Americans are exceedingly polite.
Compared to whom?

But without skilled leadership, you end up with the manufacturing capabilities of Tesla.
You mean firing up the world's largest battery manufacturing plant and actually shipping batteries? Yeah they suck!
Now I'm sure you have plenty ideas of how to create megaprojects that work first go. Let's hear them.
However, stop stealing from me.
So you give someone something openly, and then because they refuse to let you kick them in the nads you're claiming you're being stolen from? You're delusional.

Fanboys are rabid in both ways. There are those that will complain a lot, but also those that defend to the bitter end.

The X Server stack was fast enough back in the days of the FOUR-EIGHTY-SIX.
And I'm sure if all we care about is drawing rectangles on the screen it still would be.
And by "work properly" you mean back track an architectural choice that has been pushed for security reasons for the past 3 years.
Man if you people were around when sudo was adopted you'd still be suggesting everyone log in as root.
What security hole?
The one they fixed through the introduction of polkit to allow fine grained access control to the system. If you don't understand why Polkit exists and why it's preferred I don't expect you'll ever understand the security aspects of what Wayland specifically avoids here by design.

But how about removing the bug-ridden, back-door infested Intel ME?
They why would businesses buy Intel? If they have to spend extra money on enterprise management they may just as well go to AMD.
