He is subject to the laws of the USA with respect to any activity he did in the USA. Citizenship doesn't have anything to do with it. I think federal prosecutor would likely argue that his persuasion of Chelsea (Bradley) Manning to violate US law was in violation of US law and that he could be prosecuted for it.
Wasn't Chelsea in Iraq? And Assange, where was he? Not the US I'd bet.
Since 1991 and the Gulf War (the first one), we have completely changed this view point to, "we're the best, we're the only, the United States of America, and we can kick anyone's ass".
You've reached the point where you can relaibly "win the war".
Linux uniprocessor systems generally don't page out processes unless they have to. CTSS *always* swapped out processes because there was no virtual address space - the data had to be physically moved for the process to see it where it expected it.
Then what purpose did the base/limit registers serve?
I'd contend that a system with base/limit registers does have virtual memory - the addresses manipulated by user programs are not physical addreses.
base/limit is a degenerate case of segmentation, a machine where the user program sees one segment.
Memory Boundaries and Swapping. CTSS used the modified 7094’s memory boundary register to limit user jobs’ access to only part of B-core, so that the supervisor didn’t have to swap 32K to the drum for every job.
Huh? CTSS is a time sharing system! Of course you're sharing the core.
Well, depends on your point of view. I believe that CTSS was swapping whole cores when doing the VM switch, so you're sharing the HW but not even the physical address space - there was only one user program running in the B-core at any given instant. Each of the time-sharing users was provided with an illusion of a whole physical machine, much like with VM/CMS.
7094 CPU Modifications. The hardware RPQs that made CTSS run on MIT’s 7094s added an interval timer (B/M 570220) and memory boundary and relocation registers (RPQ E007291) to the 7094 processor.

Nope, sounds like it could have multiple jobs in core.
BCPL was first compiled on an IBM 7094 – here’s a picture of the console, though the entire computer took up a large room – running CTSS – the Compatible Time Sharing System – that antedates Unix much as BCPL antedates C. There’s no malloc() in that context, because there’s nobody to share the memory core with. You get the entire machine and the clock starts ticking, and when your wall-clock time block runs out that’s it. But here’s the thing: in that context none of the offset-calculations we’re supposedly economizing are calculated at execution time. All that work is done ahead of time by the compiler.
This starts out wrong and gets wronger!

Huh? CTSS is a time sharing system! Of course you're sharing the core.
And what the hell does malloc() have to do with anything? You can run programs on Unix that don't use malloc. You can run programs on an Apple ][ that do use malloc.

This is CTSS! It had preemptive multitasking - just like Linux has preemptive multitasking. That was the whole point!
But here’s the thing: in that context none of the offset-calculations we’re supposedly economizing are calculated at execution time.
Huh? the BCPL address operators are exatly like the C ones. How could the compiler do someting like:
And nothing has happened. The amount of radiation released from the leak, while the leak should be repaired ASAP, is minute and is still LOWER than the background radiation.
Wasn't there all this hubbub when ROSAT and Phobos Grunt came down that satellites should have a final fuel supply left to do a controlled de-orbit? And here is GOCE which has engines and at the end of its lifespan was even lowered to make better science... and they let it de-orbit uncontrolled.
With its fins and aerodynamic shape, GOCE will maintain a stable position in orbit as it approaches entry.
Why don't they use the reaction wheels make it tumble before reentry?
Because it doesn't have reaction wheels.
Krag said that GOCE components that are the typical suspects for surviving re-entry are a tank and magnetotorquers, as the spacecraft has no reaction wheels. "The rest of the components are âunrecognizableâ(TM) incomplete, irregular fragments," he added.
No artificial satellite is completely outside the atmosphere.
And GOCE is deeper into the atmosphere the atmosphere than most. It has wings and an engine. During it's mission it wasn't really in orbit, it was flying. Now the fuel has run out.
if what he was, was a whistle-blower—to pick up the phone and call the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and say I have some information,

Hysterical bullshit.

What, you didn't know there were others? Blame the US press.

Then lose the peace.

I said "there was only one user program *running* in the B-core at any given instant", and that is technically correct - the best kind of correct. :]
True of all uniprocessor systems, including, for example, Linux unprocessor systems.

var p = ...some address; ... some value;
var q =
p[q] = 22

The GCHQ equivalents would be a slot machine in a smelly pub and a toothless blowjob in the car park out back.
Advice for GCHQ employees - lie back and think of all that lovely NSA cash that pays your wages.
That, folks, is the bizzarest mod I've ever got (and that's saying some, considering some of the stuff that happens in the AGW topics).

That link has nothing to do with you claim. It is also very old, and as it turns out wildly optimistic.
Ahhhh.... there's nothing else quite like Europeans attempting to take the "high road" in disputes over territory that once belonged to the natives.
But there were no natives. When the French settled the Îles Malouines in 1764 they were uninhabited.
Curiously France and Britain are 21 miles apart
And France and Brazil are 0 miles apart, and Brazil and Argentina are 0 miles apart.
So the Falklands/Malvinas are only 21 miles further from the UK than they are from Argentina.
Or maybe I'm making some mistake?
They is no doubt about the actual residents' nationality
Well, there wasn't until Maggie took it away, by accident.
On a slightly more serious note, Sweden has an advantage in that the country is genetically and socially homogenous.
14.3% of the Swedish population are foreign born.
Around 20% are either foreign born or children of two foreign born parents.
You're behind the times. GCHQ have their own slashdot.

It's because there is science to be done.

It was written against the milieu of World War II. Not many folks today realize at a gut level what that entailed.
Of course, exactly the same thing can be said about Verhoeven's film.
It could also be argued that Verhoeven had a rather better understanding of what WW2 was about than Heinlein did.

Uh, the "messed up person" was Timothy.
The phrase "Traitor to the [US] Government", or even the word "Traitor" don't appear in the original article.
The hardest it gets is:
"But that didn’t happen. He’s done this enormous disservice to our country, and I think the answer is no clemency.”
No accusation of treachery, to the people, the country or the government.

So what brand did he buy? Fisher-Price?
