Extradition is permitted, provided that the act for which extradition is requested is equivalent to a crime that is punishable under Swedish law by imprisonment for at least one year.[...]
Extradition may not be granted for military or political offences. Nor may extradition be granted if there is reason to fear that the person whose extradition is requested runs a risk - on account of his or her ethnic origins, membership of a particular social group or religious or political beliefs - of being subjected to persecution threatening his or her life or freedom, or is serious in some other respect.[...]
Nor may he or she be re-extradited to another state without the consent of the Government. Furthermore, nor may the person who is extradited be sentenced to death.
100% agree with you here.
And fact is, open web standards such as XML, CSS and SVG are patent encumbered. The patents are licensed royalty free it is only really the royalties that make the difference between W3C and MPEG LA. Both work with the major industry players to form standards, both collect patent pools, both publish their standards openly, one has a habit of wanting money for some uses of the stuff.
Point one is: It just reached 60%.
Point two is: Up until recently less than half of all Android handsets did not have Flash.
Point three is: Android did well without Flash.
Core Animation is the way to animate 2D on Mac OS X (and iOS). It is what is used to animate CSS (which the article touches upon). From what I can tell reading various developer blogs Core Animation seems pretty well liked.
Oh, I forgot, the latest stable Chrome on OS X is 9.0.597.102 which makes Chrome 10 a development version also. So unless Chrome 10 on Windows is a shipping stable version, then Safari is doing pretty well.
It won't, the web server will see that you are running Chrome and send you the H.264 video wrapped in a Flash object, Chrome will then happily oblige in the name of openness (yeah, right) and play the video.
Sometimes I just wish that there was some kind of levy on buying and selling the same stock within a short time frame (say 24 hours), it would probably never hurt long time investors (the ones that are actually important to the companies' whose stock is being traded) and would seldom affect hedge funds and similar accounts.
From my limited knowledge it always seems like this high speed trading is the worst part of stock exchange today. Especially since everything they do echoes in the job market and affect the companies whose stock they buy and sell without any actual interest in the companies. For all they care the high speed traders never even bother knowing the names of companies whose stocks they buy and sell.
I have a hard time believing this was the intent of creating a stock market.
I will forsake my moderations done so far in this article to respond to this.
There are multiple patents in the patent pools covering HTML, XML, CSS, JavaScript and similar open standards. The main difference is that W3C licenses its patents royalty free. See for example: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy/ and http://www.w3.org/2001/05/23/SMIL-IPR-statements
Similar to the European Union (plus Schengen) then: Anyone a citizen of a member state can travel and work throughout the union without a visa, nations are required to submit to the laws of the union and so on. What am I missing?
You left out the important part of his rise to media fame:
Assange was transformed by his outlaw celebrity. The derelict with the backpack and the sagging socks now wore his hair dyed and styled, and he favored fashionably skinny suits and ties.
That is pretty damning (I heard about something similar in Norway also), but I fail to see how that would be more endangering to Assange than for example the Echelon cooperation (Which UK, USA and Australia are all part of).
Not sure I follow how the UK politicians could claim to be duped and not risk too much negative exposure but the Swedish could? Also, I am reminded of the Gary McKinnon case.
Sweden has laws that are similar to those in the UK, so I see very little extra risk for Assange to be extradited to USA if he is transferred or travels to Sweden. I would think that staying in a NATO member (like UK) would be more of a risk.
Extradition for Criminal Offences in Sweden:
Extradition is permitted, provided that the act for which extradition is requested is equivalent to a crime that is punishable under Swedish law by imprisonment for at least one year. [...] Extradition may not be granted for military or political offences. Nor may extradition be granted if there is reason to fear that the person whose extradition is requested runs a risk - on account of his or her ethnic origins, membership of a particular social group or religious or political beliefs - of being subjected to persecution threatening his or her life or freedom, or is serious in some other respect. [...] Furthermore, nor may the person who is extradited be sentenced to death.
I am not sure this would be much faster than a good shovel while also costing much more (to buy and use) while at the same time risking icing the driveway. Also, using a shovel will give you a little extra exercise.
With one of these I can do a good sized driveway in fifteen minutes with <40 cm snow, about half an hour with <60 cm snow.

"Unlike certain other HTML5 demo sites, Mozilla's site works in any browser that supports the features used in the demo."
What is that about? The "other demo site" also worked in any browser that supported the features used int the demo. Same difference.
Oh, how I want to tag this story gfail.
UK, who extradited McKinnon among others, a nation that is also a NATO member by the way, that is a member of the Extradition Act of 2003 and accepts 70% of all extradition requests by USA will be less likely to comply to this?
For those organisms to turn into oil there need to be a rise in ocean temperature, how do you expect Oh, right.

Android seemed to be doing alright without flash also, about 60% of android handsets run 2.2 or later.

Still a development versions. Makes no sense to exclude development versions of Opera and Safari when they both are readily available.
Oh, I forgot, the latest stable Chrome on OS X is 9.0.597.102 which makes Chrome 10 a development version also. So unless Chrome 10 on Windows is a shipping stable version, then Safari is doing pretty well.
They tested Chrome 11 and Firefox 4 and IE9 (all development versions) but not the development version of Safari: WebKit.
Will Web Workers mitigate the multithreading issue?

Thanks. I might have missed something, but that seems only a little more tightly held than the European Union does.
That is pretty damning (I heard about something similar in Norway also), but I fail to see how that would be more endangering to Assange than for example the Echelon cooperation (Which UK, USA and Australia are all part of).
But Assange is Australian, so wouldn't that mean that UK citizens would react similarly to the Swedes?
Can't find any sources other than speculative blog posts from semi-anonymous folks who does not quote or link their sources. Can you provide links?
