True, but Sweden can claim that he cannot be extradited due to it being a "political offense". Please see Article 7 of the extradition treaty below:
ARTICLE V Extradition shall not be granted in any of the following circumstances: 1. When the person sought has already been or is at the time of the request being proceeded against in the requested State in accordance with the criminal laws of that State for the offense for which his extradition is requested. 2. When the legal proceedings or the enforcement of the penalty for the offense has become barred by limitation according to the laws of either the requesting State or the requested State. 3. When the person sought has been or will be tried [*8] in the requesting State by an extraordinary tribunal or court. 4. When the offense is purely military. 5. If the offense is regarded by the requested State as a political offense or as an offense connected with a political offense. 6. If in the specific case it is found to be obviously incompatible with the requirements of humane treatment, because of, for example, the youth or health of the person sought, taking into account also the nature of the offense and the interests of the requesting State.
The larger problem for Assange is a change in government in Ecuador. Ecuador has not had a stable presidency for some time. Correa is liked right now, but if that changes, he could find himself in the embassy of a US-friendly government. Go back 10 years and Ecuador would have handed him over in a heartbeat.
I guess there is good reason to build this in Utah. Once they start collecting the content and not just the databases...all that data must go somewhere.
Those in the army are our brothers, sisters, and cousins. They are us.
People who don't realize this watch far too many Hollywood movies where the soldiers are faceless automatons. From my time in, I don't see the military ever attacking our own citizens...
Perhaps an assumption is that they obtained this data via the internet. Seems more plausible that they are using agents in defense contractor agencies to sneakernet the data out.
Easy. Would you like all the cell phone carriers to fix the price (removing competition) for service and phones? How about the big farms with the price of soybeans or corn? How about clothing manufacturers? Car manufacturers? Think of a world with zero competition between companies on price...and you will realize why price fixing is a bad idea.
I am also a family of 4 with young kids and a non-tech wife. I solved the problems you allude to with a WD Live device on each TV. It is simple, it works, and it aggregates all the online services with the local NAS that has movies/pictures/photos. It also has a single remote. You can use the android/iphone app, but it sounds like that is going too far. I've since added Playon, and the family use that just fine too. How did I do this? I installed one device while we still had directtv. By week 3, the Directtv receivers weren't used anymore, and we cancelled the service.
The constitution strictly prohibits the military from acting as a policing force on US soil
Slight correction...the Constitution only forbids the forceful quartering of soldiers in residences. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of the US military domestically except in times of war or insurrection.
I addressed this in a different post. Sports is the largest driver for TV right now. Once that goes streaming live...the old model is done. As for MSNBC, CNN, BBC, and Fox News all stream as I recall. MSNBC does not?
Exactly like that. Except the MLB and NHL are the only two that allow live games...and their apps are not ubiquitous quite yet. NBA and NFL only replay games and use live updating of scores and statistics.
If any sports franchise (major league, NCAA, etc.) were to get a streaming contract that doesn't require a cable/satellite subscription, it would be the beginning of the end. I think they realize that, and is why they lock down things like ESPN3 or NFL Gametime, etc. Sports is where the revenue is for the operators...not channels like Syfy.
You underestimate the power of Netflix and the demand that customers have for it.
Many do...it was a wakeup call for the cable/satellite operators when Disney signed with them. Disney is one of the kings of content...and they see something more valuable in Netflix than their current (soon to be previous) contract with the Starz cable channel. Netflix charges 8 dollars a month for offering more content than many people who pay 100 dollars a month get from their cable subscription.

AT&T - Fastest
Verizon - Reliable
TMobile - Cheapest
Sprint - Service

Senator Feinstein also admitted that this is a court order renewed every 90 days....and has been for 7 years now.
Side note...this Senator is the same who introduced legislation to remove a large segment of weaponry from the population recently.
No...I have kids...my Windows laptop still has smudges on the screen...
When faced with a new word it is often prudent to attempt to deduce its meaning from context.
In that case...I go with option A:
Are they drinking poisoned kool aid? (Rev Lim Jones)

True...I don't think my Marlin 60 looks remotely military-grade...yet it is semi-automatic and holds 16 rounds in the tube (no "scary" banana clip)
Rackspace can go to hell.
Hell is already hosted on Amazon EWS...
No...I was thinking you were going to ask if it would liquid cool a Linux box...
That will be Windows 8.11.
Nobody else was dumb enough to click the link.
You don't deal with many ordinary end users do you...
They've got a list of the registered voters. You vote, they check you off.
So all I need is a list from the phone book and I can vote as many times as I would like (as long as I go through the line at different times)?

+ 13th amendment = right to print arms in your home...but you can't make other people do it for you.

What you need is .... TiVo for NetFlix!
Um...you mean PlayLater?

Yup, countries like Canada, Denmark, Finland, New Zealand and the Netherlands are well known for their atrocities and killings.
Some of us consider an NBA team in Toronto an atrocity...and don't get me started on Lars Ulrich's attack on Napter back in the day...
