Julian Assange has not been charged with any crime in Sweden. There is a request for extradition to question him in relation to allegations of having sex without wearing a condom, which is in itself dubious as extraditions have in the past only been granted for convicted criminals. To extradite someone for questioning is a world first. And top pretend that a country like the USA has nothing to do with it is naive to say the least. The USA uses financial and political pressure to force countries that cannot invade to strip down and bend over. They even kill people arbitrarily without due process!
If I were Julian Assange, I would have been running long ago.
The Nobel prize winner?
I find that hard to believe.....
OK, everyone know the previous statement was just a lie. If Obama has a kill list (And quite probably he has it), just goes to prove that is just another murderer with a big army of hit men.
So much for the US being a beacon of freedom and justice. First train terrorists and once they are not useful, just get someone to kill them.
And some people still wonder why the US does not earn the respect of the world.....
If that were my network, I would have arrange proper insurance to start with, that should include finance to have equipment purchased to replace those destroyed by fire. I would also have regular (And corrrectly tested) backups stored off site. With a bit of immagination, you would have set up regular dumps of your data to a remote location, so the whold u-haul would have not been necesary (If you use some sort of *nix, you can put a couple of rsync lines in the crone and you have nothing to worry about.....)
So, Micro$oft owned Skype has released a new version for Linux.....
Ho exiting! I bet is going to have those very large adds....
Is there anything else that M$ will do to get money from people that won't pay the M$ tax?
I think it has been like that for a long time. In it's day, the Colt Peacemaker was supposed to be a technological improvement. Kind of love that name Peacemaker....
Considering that the Nobel Peace Prize was given to perple like Jimmy Carter, Shimon Peres and Barak Obama, I would expect it to be worth about five cents by now!
There is a law in the US, that allows the imperialistic yankee government to eavesdrop on my communications, because I’m a citizen of another county and I live outside the boundaries of your aggressive, intrusive, dictatorial, arrogant regime?
In my book that is called spying and worries me that you people talk about it with a straight face!
Not that I expect much honesty and straight dealing from a country that start wars for profit and lies about non existing weapons of mass destruction, so they can invade another country to steal petrol!
After reading your response, I find myself confused. Are you really that naïve that believe politicians to be honest or are you working on their side and pretending to have totally missed the point just to try to create confusion?
Educating people to understand statistics and extrapolation is meaningless if they do not understand the complexities of the underlying data. You cannot teach a person to write poetry if they do not know the alphabet, nor to solve differential equations if they don’t first know how to add and subtract, but you expect them to understand statistics and extrapolation when most people cannot see past the tip of their nose (Politically speaking of course)
Perhaps, instead of educating people to understand forecasts, we should be interested in educating people so they can make well informed and educated choices. The great majority of people have little or no education (And I do not mean literacy here). They are unable to analyse, research or investigate in a critical way. They become emotional about things are not possibly capable of understanding and allow those emotions to tell them to whom they should be giving a vote. En educated person, reads between the lines and can see why a candidate is making some promises and can tell which promises will not be fulfilled (Like closing the concentration camp in Guantanamo bay). The only problem, is that politicians that have been elected so far are against the idea of educating people as this will destroy the system as exist today and they will have to get real jobs.
I have worked in the IT industry for over twenty years, mostly for financial organizations, some medium size, some rather large and within those organizations, the idea of having the data (Or applications that somehow manage that data) controlled by a third party is not liked at all. I have also spoken about it with medical and legal professionals and the feeling of distrust is widespread. The problem is not with lack of trust for the technical security of the systems nor with the encryption that could be used to move the data back and forward, but with lack of trust for the human element.
Looks like Julian is going to get a US government paid vacation to a tropical island paradise. I believe the of the resort is something like Guantanamo bay?
The reviews are not all that good.
I just hope the European Court of Human Rights has a bit more backbone than the British government.
I was thinking about saying something smart back to you, but if you think like you write, would have been a waste of good language. You certainly are not up the challenge of speaking any language correctly.
On July 3rd, 1979, Jimmy Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul, providing training, weapons and financial support to the Mujahedeen (precursors of today’s Taliban and Al-Quaida). So, without Jimmy Carter’s actions, all this wouldn’t be happening. We would not have had the bombing of the USS Cole, the bombing of the US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, 911 nor all this rubbish right now. And he got a Nobel Peace Prize. What a waste!
I see a few inconsistencies with your posting. You have written “I'm pretty well educated, and all that jargon gave even me a fucking headache”. I think a “pretty well educated” person should be able to express ideas without the use of four letter words. I{ on the other hand understood the article quite well and believe me, sentences (Not terms as a term is a single word as every “pretty well educated” person knows) like “Culturally congruent risk perception“ poses no mystery to me. I would make suggestions, however they will quite probably be pushed aside.
Are you sure about that? The article does not say "about 54 million processor hours". Instead it implies an exact amount. If they are inaccurate, I fail to see why you are complaining to me

Rats are far too noble animals to be working for the military.

Don't you forget the mother in law
So, if I win the Nobel prize, I'll have to share it with my seventeen other personalities?
I would love one! Are they available as Siammese cats?
Sure they are not feeding missinformation?

OK, why don't you sit next to the machine with a timer while it does the calculation and when finished, let me know the exact time.
Send him to watch Robocop, he will lovet it!

Well, it is actually 281.25. If we are talking about important stuff, lets do it right!
Well, if there is no matter then certainly wouldn't matter as you wouldn't matter because there would be no matter to make someone like you ;-)
I like them (women) in my private life, but for work, I like to be working with people that are capable, gender is superficial and irrelevant.
