Assange had the power to say "no, we will not release these". He also had the power to wait to release until the documents had been carefully scrutinized to remove names and identifying details of anyone who might be endangered. At the very least, he is accessory to any crimes that might have been committed by the sources of leaks.
"It's OK to recklessly endanger informants and those who help the coalition, because people need to know the truth!"
How does the death of one man get outweighed by the opportunity to find out some statistics?
Just curious, but how can a non-US citizen be a traitor to the US?
It's funny that OP never mentioned the US in his post. If Wikileaks' actions led to the deaths of Australians (and there are over a thousand Australians in Afghanistan), then he could be considered a traitor.
If the Pentagon aided Wikileaks in any way, they would be conceding legitimacy to them, which would open several cans of worms that would not help them in any way.
But the most spelled-out format would be "the ninth day of August in the Year of our Lord two thousand and ten." So 9 Aug 2010 (NATO standard) is logical.
Volume of a 15 x 2 x 3 cm chocolate bar: 9e-5 cubic metres
Volume of an Olympic swimming pool: 2.5e3 cubic metres
Volume ratio is 1 : 2.78e7
Total volume of the oceans is 1.3e18 cubic metres
Iceberg volume, in the same ratio as chocolate bar : swimming pool, would be 4.68e10 cubic metres
If the iceberg is 200 m thick, then the area is 234 square kilometres.
The area of the iceberg, according to the article, is 260 square kilometres

You, sir, have astounding powers of estimation.
In Ottawa (well, at least in the schools in Ottawa that I've been to), all the high schools are PC-only or at the most have a half-dozen Macs for classes like Film that need the video-editing. This may be because there was a fire sale on PCs after the high-tech crash, though...
Shh! If Tom Clancy hears you, he'll come over and beat you to death with his Mac, the Constitution, and a shit-ton of whatever the newest American weapon is.
The equation for drag is force = 1/2 * speed^2 * density of atmosphere * area * drag coefficient. At orbital speeds, speed^2 is very large, so even a low density will produce significant drag. Also, the football-field-sized balloon has a very high cross-sectional area in relation to its mass, and even the mass of it plus the satellite, so the force produced will be still more capable of de-orbiting the satellite.
Proper Use of the LEGO Trademark on a Web Site
If the LEGO trademark is used at all, it should always be used as an adjective, not as a noun. For example, say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGO BRICKS". Never say "MODELS BUILT OF LEGOs".Also, the trademark should appear in the same typeface as the surrounding text and should not be isolated or set apart from the surrounding text. In other words, the trademarks should not be emphasized or highlighted. Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ® symbol each time it is used.
Get on the old media. Local paper, radio, TV, write your congressman, everything. For whatever elections you have coming up, consider communicating this to the challengers so they can promise reform. Make a stink.
Or just retaliate in kind, since now you know the police won't do anything to stop you.
What did you expect? The whole purpose of AP classes is to cover the AP curriculum specifically. You were looking for some kind of non-specific enriched class, which is a different kettle of fish.
Think about it: if the AP teacher deviates from teaching to the test to cover the (admittedly highly relevant) current events, then students who do poorly on the AP exam (which is based solely on the curriculum) will blame the teacher for having spent less time preparing for the exam.
Grammar fail. In this sense, 'fucking' is an adjectival participle. ' Fuckin' ' is a contraction, and is completely interchangeable with 'fucking'. ' Fuck'in' ' is blatant misuse of apostrophes, for which your grammar Nazi credentials should be revoked.
and Buckingham is in Quebec. Do you honestly expect anyone reading this article to know where Buckingham is? More likely it would get confused with some more famous place of the same name. Maybe that fountain in Chicago.
It's perfectly reasonable to call a halt if there's any suspicion that these shortcuts might be common to the practices of other rigs. If one is doing it, chances are the others have figured it out too. Call a halt and make sure proper procedures are actually being followed.

Someday Canada's going to go postal.
Yes, because now that he knows how to spell it, he won't look like a tool. And knowing is half the battle.
Rolls-Royce should go after them for trademark infringement.
My first thought was "didn't I see this in Popular Science ten years ago?"
Canadian War Museum has one too, for those who are closer to Ottawa than Maryland.

Yawn. Paradox Interactive games have had this for years.
