    Sorry, Iggymanz post is incomprehensible so I'm assuming you're laughing at the cognitive dissonance of his contradicting himself..

    If I'm wrong and making up nonsense, how is it that the Sweden>US extradition treaty excludes the torts that the US would use to claim Assange? Ah, because Assange claims that there are secret charges brought against him & that these are the charges that will be used to extradite Sweden>US. Thus it once again becomes how easy it is according to each treaty for the US to claim Assange and clearly it is from the UK & not Sweden.

    While awaiting the findings of the UK courts he was also subject to UK law. Come on, you remember, the laws he promised to obey as a condition of not being placed in detention as a flight risk? Yeah, those laws he broke in fleeing to the Ecuadorian embassy that he thinks don't apply to him -- because he only has to obey the laws he wants to.

    Yeah, we've heard it before, Assange and those that parrot his utterings believe that the evil USG is behind every curtain dastardly awaiting their chance to spirit his holiness away.

    That the Swedish justice system can only have changed course without the USG being involved is an Assange thesis disproven by the fact that it happens in cases not involving Assange. Oh, but for Assange, that it happened to him is PROOF!

    Assange promised to obey the findings of the UK courts as to whether he would be extradited as a condition of not getting locked up as anyone else would have been. When the UK courts validated Sweden's right to extradite, Assange foreswore his promise, jumped bail & ran away to the Ecuadorian Embassy where he imposed conditions on any interviews by the Swedish procurer. He may or may not be a rapist but he is a fugitive from justice & believes that he is above laws that apply to everyone else.

    That Assange believes that he is above the petty laws of nation states and able to dictate conditions is abundantly clear. What isn't is that when nation states refuse to obey his dictates that it somehow proves anything other than that they do not recognise his right to dictate conditions.

    Compare the extradition treaties between the UK & the US & between Sweden & the US. The US/UK treaties make it much easier to extradite Assange from the UK but of course believing the creed of Assange makes everything else irrelevant.

    He's going to have to find a way out of England where he is going to be spending time in a prison for jumping bail first. Seems that the simplest way for the US to extradite him would be from there no? Ahhh, but that doesn't play to Assange's need of drama enough. Luckily enough for him, the X-Files has started filming again, maybe he can borrow one of their writers.

    Where were you attempting to put words in my mouth and then knocking down strawmen?

    Are you implying that newer versions of Android aren't affected by the vulnerabilities you know of?

    So, have you stopped beating your wife and abusing small children yet? You know, this isn't the 1950's anymore and punishments are severe nowadays for these acts.

    You can quit attempting to put words into my mouth, I have no intention of falling for your strawmen.

    Android's abysmal adoption rate of new OS versions is well known. Marshmallow is and will be irrelevant for months until it's adoption rates become significant & given how frequent new & different attacks have been released for android over the past few years I have little confidence that marshmallow will bring significant change because any new bug is still no more likely to be patched by upgrading to a fixed version than present versions of Android have been.

    That someone with the experience you claim would be so apparently clueless as to ignore these points and to keep bringing up "but how's marshmallow" like it makes any difference just shows that you still haven't understood the problem.

    My children are adults now. During their childhood they were often complimented on how well behaved they were for their ages but I've seen what bad parenting does. Your lack of self-control and justification of how that is supposed to be normal in particular for an adult does not speak well for how you were raised.

    You're an android user admittedly ignorant of how the repeated and generally unpatched critical vulnerabilities of his cherished platform have made Android into a security nightmare. You compare iOS vulnerabilities for people that downloaded code from unvetted third parties or from Chinese developers that performed the same bone-headed move with innate Android bugs that in most cases will never be corrected until people replace their phones with new models so that their maker will be motivated enough to update them. The vulnerabilities that Touch-Wiz, etc have are severe but most android malware targets the OS level bugs because that makes the exploits work on more devices.

    Again, I am not here to educate you & I have signed NDAs that prevent me from talking about them or just what problems they encountered in anything but the most general terms. Android's adoption rate of the most recent OS has stagnated for years in single digit adoption percentages even in corporate environments. Until that changes and the current avalanche of new Android security vulnerabilities every month tapers off, Android Security will continue to be a joke right up there with Military Intelligence.

    As for you calling me names ? I couldn't care less that you are unable to show more control than most small children.

    Their website explicitly addresses the tensile strength of Ice:
    A fibrous clear silica additive (flat-packed in the lander) provides the ice form with greater tensile strength, calculated to bolster the strength of ice to the order of 3 times. While ice has been shown to possess tensile properties (~2-3 MPa) that are, in fact, superior to materials such as brick (2.8 MPa) and granite (4.8 MPa), the fibrous reinforcement ensures the longevity and integrity of the structure.

    It also addresses the need for thermal insulation:
    A translucent hydrophobic aerogel layer with U values of 1 W.m2K and light transmittance of 66% is printed between the inner ice shell and the inhabited programmatic spaces to ensure thermal comfort.
