s/monarchy/fascist dictatorship/. North Korea is arguably a monarchy but I haven't heard a peep about the fruit of Putin's loins being primed to inherit his titles.
Burned what goodwill? His supporters still support him and the American government always hated him, what do you suggest has changed because he's stayed in the embassy?
The most important goodwill he squandered is that of the U.K. justice system that gave him the benefit of every doubt, allowing him to be released from jail until the resolution of all his appeals on the strength of his vow to respect their judgement and the assurances of others that he would do so. That goodwill is gone along with Assange's reputation as a man of his word and is likely to result in the hardest sentence possible for him for jumping bail once he exits the embassy.
The other goodwill he has now squandered is that of the public in the west who now generally see him as a fugitive from justice, likely a rapist (Q: Hey, what's this Stealthing thing in the news? A: It's what Assange is accused of doing) and the mouthpiece of any dirt Putin wants to throw at politicians/organisations. The "weight" of his hardcore supporters now means little beyond mod points on slashdot. The fake excrement mixed in with legitimate but private campaign emails he released on Macron just before the 2nd tour surprised no-one and further tarnished his reputation (if that's even possible at this point).
The rape charges have been confirmed in every real life court in which their reality was called into question are only dubious in the minds of the hard-core Assange supporters that can't bear to see their hero brought back to earth.
The alleged acts were/are defined as rape in Sweden, the U.K. the rest of the E.U. and in the U.S. The U.K. high court confirmed this years ago, at which point Assange jumped bail & scuttled off to the Embassy.
The Swedish prosecutor was unable to satisfactorily question Assange due to his preconditions and would need to be auditioned again before the case could move forward.
As a high profile bail-jumper, he will very likely see the most severe penalty of a year in prison for jumping bail: 1 year, served in the U.K if no-one cares to claim him.
If he stays in the Embassy until the Swedish statute of limitations for the rape charges runs out (instead of coming out as promised when Manning was released) we'll all see if the boogey-man of U.S. charges become reality or not. He has burned all his goodwill by jumping bail & the U.K.>U.S. extradition treaties make extradition a mere formality for any that the U.K does not wish to defend. If Brexit becomes effective before 2020, appeals to the E.U. High Courts become impossible.
It took Putin a while to beat down dissent. The sad part about Russia is that even though it was corrupt, they had a functional democracy and a free press for a few years. All murdered/imprisoned, now.
When the NSA realized that the code had been stolen & likely to be released, they communicated the SMB bug to Microsoft who then released patches for their "maintained" OS's two months ago. It is because of this that they were able to release patches for their out of maintenance OSes as soon as Wannacry started spreading.
Did you just imply that if the NSA said "here's a patch, please apply it globally" that you would apply it blindly?!? I'm not one of the people calling for the NSA to be the world's beta testing organization by buying up all the bugs on the internet & then handing them off to makers so that they patch their code, but even I wouldn't apply a NSA patch blindly like that.
The NSA is not Trump with hourly Twitter updates direct from them to the world. They'll always communicate through proxies.
The point is that the AC I replied to is a lazy twerp.
For articles that are paywalled, putting in the non-paywalled version in the summary is preferable and when this is forgotten and I have mod points, I reward the first to post it. However, I do not expect people from the U.S to log into a proxy outside the U.S. just to check if an article's embedded video link is region limited*. When someone without the balls to log in posts "Hey it's not available here, you suck" -- WITHOUT even making the effort to post the results of a 4 word web search, well that's stupidity worthy of mockery.
* Were _you_ to post an article containing an embedded video to slashdot, would _you_ use proxies to make sure that the embedded video works in South America, Africa, Eastern & Western Europe, Africa, the Near east, Japan, Australia & China? No, me neither.
So now that you've retreated from the world at large you think it's funny to pretend that lust calling oneself an imam will get you locked up in the U.S. (or wherever you are))?
Pray remember that freedom to practice your chosen religion are life and death choices in much of the world but thankfully _not_ in the U.S. Making light of that will touch nerves
Trump can only do so because he won the election. I voted Clinton (warts and all) but like many I liked neither candidate. Trump was elected because the high percentage of voters last year who liked neither candidate voted in their majority for Trump. They did so in part because enough people were tired enough of being put down by supercilious snots like the one I replied to that it got them over their distaste for trump.
Your partisan hate backfired and will continue to help trump oh but it's never you the problem, it's always them.
That would depend on which patchs you have applied to your pre win10 installation. If you haven't installed the patches that apply the back ported snooping... It's a major reason why they removed individual patches in my opinion
So how often should people re-evaluate when a company like Microsoft breaks their trust by forcing upgrades and other such nonsense? 6 months are sufficient according to you apparently.
News flash: When a company breaks it's users trust, the time it takes can be measured in years and is often never. Yeah it'd be great for security if people were applying upgrades ASAP but MS's new policy of only making rollup updates forcing the inclusion of all previous updates can only backfire making people even less apt to apply them. Hey, they've already broken our trust once, they're likely to do it again.
Get back to us when Trump & co effect change that screws with something you really care about, something they were able to do because you didn't see that your mockery and false sense of superiority helped sweep him into power.
Something like when you sister/niece/daughter dies from a backroom abortion because they rolled back Roe/Wade.
If you want real fun & games move to most muslim nations and convert or just declare that you too are a muslim.
Then, and this is the _real_ fun part, announce publicly that you're christian/jewish/other. Doing so is committing apostacy _will_ get you caned, imprisoned and even a death sentence. Ho, ho, ho, right?
Hey, the recent governor of Jakarta (a christian) recently got sentenced to two years imprisonment just for saying the the Koran doesn't say that muslims cannot be governed by non-muslims. I'm sure you'd be having _loads_ of fun in the cell next to his...
Iran sponsors Hezbollah, Hamas & Assad. Most governments consider all three to be terrorist organisations (even if democratically elected) due to their targeting of civilian populations (and yes, they consider themselves to be noble freedom fighters and everyone else to be terrorists when in response to one of their actions, a missile blows up a school/hospital/airbase from which they launched missiles/a nerve gas bombing raid.
Iran is not above sponsoring Sunni organisations when it serves their objectives but _has_ steered clear of the Sunni terrorist poles that are Al Qaida & Daesh.
I put that sig up literally decades ago when in a discussion with a peacenik who abhorred all violence and was blaming a country being invaded by a larger neighbour for daring to defend themselves. Left it up because it's a useful idiot detector for those who attempt to read too much into it and/or think that it says more about me than a momentary whim. Thanks for showing that it still works.
Being a Muslim should not make a difference but on the other hand the UK has been harboring a number of very radical imams whose ties to extremists do need to be monitored.
Yep, just more "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT MEEEE" from a bunch of auto proclaimed "experts".
Robert Oppenheimer, David Bohm, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, Otto Frisch, Rudolf Peierls, Felix Bloch, Niels Bohr, Emilio Segre, James Franck, Enrico Fermi, Klaus Fuchs and Edward Teller & many others were all atomic scientists. These guys? No.
Haven't lived in the states in over 30 years & the last time I voted in a US election was for Obama so your "you GOP" misses absurdly.
That you are self blinding yourself to inconvenient truths that do not fit your preconceptions is clear. Obama came in with the 111th congress and had a majority in both houses for his first two years which is precisely the time period that the SLS pork-fest was created, rising from the ashes of constellation. SLS is NOT some uniquely Republican creation but a bi-partisan trough from which BOTH parties supped abundantly -- easily proven by looking at where the SLS largesse has been spent: roughly equally in both Republican & Democrat controlled states & circumscriptions.
Thus Obama & the D's _do_ share the blame for SLS as I stated.
You can call yourself a libertarian but your stated opinions show that you only attack "teabaggers" and the GOP, belying your pretended view of both parties being at fault. You're just a crypto Dem too ashamed to admit it.
