for showing such ability to be able to create said web pages and nothing more? yes, yes you can.
i wrote a basic CMS as my portfolio to get me into the industry. was it 100% secure? nope. was it 100% user friendly? nope. was it 100% bug free? nope. it's a mostly incomplete software as good as what you get in the real world done by a single person in about a week. The idea isn't to show that you're an expert in the field, it's just to show you can program competently & dynamically and problem solve. this is just to get an entry level position really.
or... you could just host your own? set up a dynamic dns and host it on your own computer using FOSS, that's what i do whenever i send out my resume. also shows how frugal you can be... and managers love that:)
I use it to research anything questionable. I don't trust my ISP & espeically my government to not flag certain informative websites like erowid as "questionable behaviour", which may end up with me being further inconvenienced in the future, (roadside drug searches etc.). I'm not particularly concerned about being convicted based on my browsing habits, but i don't want to risk the extra attention with corruption being rampant in most police forces.
then you got to worry about those other privacy concern... like people being able to view whats on your screen and see you fap. IIRC someone in Australia was caught doing more or less exactly this.
it may not get you convicted, but do you want the extra attention? I'd consider it if my country wasn't balls deep in thought crime persecution, last thing i want to do is gain unwarranted attention.
accessing webservices based in https would fix this surely? but if they don't encrypt the exit tor node -> web server then of course it could be caught by a man in the middle attack. even if they get this information however they would be unable to tell where the traffic is coming from up stream of the tor exit node unless there is identifying information in the sent data (like you've entered in your email or some such).
I'm not an expert though so don't take my word for gospel, but AFAIK that's how it works.
That is, unless you register your network cards serial number for warranty, I'm sure manufacturer holds the serial number and mac address tied together on a database somewhere, and now they have your address too. getting your identity from your mac address through purchase history would be all but impossible.
an american news company has reason not to release sensitive american information because it would be unpopular, not out of any real moral reason.
not only that but fox news also released the information to the public, so by your definition fox news editors are just as bad as Assange then?
but lets focus on all the lives that Assange has endagered:
1) can you point out who exactly is at risk?
2) wouldn't the person who was trusted to keep the secret be the one who endangered the lives by releasing the secrets if lives were indeed at risk? not some 3rd party that informed the public on their behalf?
here is an example for you: You're a Pedophile and you tell your good friend "Bob" that your a pedophile, bob then tells the police about your actions which in turns plasters all over the news that your a pedophile, whose fault was it that your secret got out, bobs or the police? is having the secret even justifiable in the first place when revealing it benefit the rest of the community? your real beef should be with bob but you're blame the police for telling everyone? Its understandable if you now hate bob and want revenge, a person in the position of trust abused it, but similarly to the current situation with the leaks the rest of the community is estatic that bob came forward (even at the cost of your relationship with bob) to improve the community as a whole.
in this analogy, you are America, Bob is manning, Assange/The Press is the police, and the community is the rest of the world.
Manning was under strict instructions to keep shit secret. He leaked the documents, he was an authorized personnel who leaked to non authorized personnel.
Assange is an Australian citizen living in the UK with no ties to the united states, he is under no moral obligation to keep Americans secrets in the same way that American news sources have no obligation to keep North Korean or Chinas secrets...
an international news company should not have to hide secrets because its embarrassing to a single nation... that is unless you disagree with freedom of the press? in which case your right, Assange should not do what journalists do and instead of fighting corruption should be encouraging cover ups by reporting on benign information like what one black eye peas band member said to the other black eye peas band member because that's real journalism.
stop drinking the cool-aid and think for your self.
IMO for the big bang theory and the singularity concept to work this should be observable.
its also possible that a black hole is the threshold where space inverts, so inside a black hole is the opposite of outside, so what we perceive as the big bang is actually the creation of a black hole in the inverse space. and we are possibly inside a giant black hole, which would explain the background gamma radiation. this also allows for an oscillating universe which gives more support to the very nature of existence being independent of observation and frame-reference.
but what would i know? i dropped out of high school in year 10.
That's a lie. Assange is a better journalist then most because he posted his sources, Of course he analyzed the data, you can read articles he wrote about the information contained within the leaks. he also included his source information, something most journalists don't do and should be done more often. He also retracted select sensitive information that he came across, not much, but there definitely was an effort made.
he thought he could bankrupt the us economy? what with your trillions of dollars surplus? he must be stupid... oh wait, considering how broke America is now and the fact that the war isn't over, I'd say he is at least smarter than you.
how do you suggest manning handle leaking out the corruption in government then?
manning released what equates to "insider trading" to the "stakeholders", the government belongs to the people and is accountable to them, not the other way around. not all secrets should be revealed, but I'm yet to find one that shouldn't have due to the negative repercussions of the release. no one has died due to the release (OBL is speculation at best) yet how many people have died from keeping the information secret?
because a transparency in diplomatic pouches means that either the ambassador can't speak honestly about his or findings, out of fear of offending the government of malaysia
considering international law dictates that diplomats are not to be performing any sort of intelligence gathering activities, then yes, i think this is a good thing.
because "someone who knows exactly where i am hasn't reported in for 2 years, maybe its time to change location" wouldn't have ever crossed his mind. IMO OBL stayed there because he assumed that Pakistan would protect him, he assumed wrong.
I don't see how you think that an Someone who isn't American has some sort of patriotic duty to keep American secrets safe? Your beef is with manning, not Assange, Assange is just a journalist doing what journalists do. or do you think Assange should have kept the secrets safe and sold them off to the highest bidder? Just be thankful that you got to see the content as well, not just china's intelligence agency.

I think he wanted to find out what the motives actually were, not weather you had a right to that privacy in the first place.

wouldn't it suggest sudden ejections of matter or energy? almost like the Hawkins radiation emitted by black holes?

that's not spit.
a suicidal mooj would probably take 1million dollars to relocate his family to greener pastures, Terrorism is born out of desperation, not insanity.

If your paranoid enough to use Truecrypt, then I'd guess you'd be paranoid enough to check the source code.
yes, but the tick is a show stopper :)
and if OBL had thought "as the worlds most wanted man, perhaps i shouldn't stay in the same location for 7 years".
because "someone who knows exactly where i am hasn't reported in for 2 years, maybe its time to change location" wouldn't have ever crossed his mind. IMO OBL stayed there because he assumed that Pakistan would protect him, he assumed wrong.

At least big media gives you the reach around!
