Just one of many reasons why a case against Assange would be difficult to prosecute. I'm sure a clever prosecutor would find a way to interpret the law so that Assange seems to have broken one or more. Conspiracy would be the most likely one. I'm certain you could prove that he conspired with Manning to break US secrecy laws. It would be much harder to construct a solid argument that US courts have any jurisdiction over people who break those laws from outside the USA. The USA always has jurisdiction over people in active military service such as Manning, which is why they could prosecute Manning.
For a nonprofit, the tying up of working capital in unprofitable enterprises isn't a concern at all. It's not their goal. A for profit is established to financially benefit its owners so opportunity cost matters to the owners.
People tend to want profit, which is why there are so many more for-profit than nonprofit enterprises. But that doesn't mean that for-profit enterprises are the only way to work.
No it won't because Snapchat's popularity is directly due to its simple UI and lack of ads. There's no way to put ads on Snapchat without being obtrusive and diminishing the quality of service. Do that and they will be instantly replaced by some new service that does what they used to do before they tried to monetize your fun. SharePix or something.
Google's serving up ads to the side and even among search results is actually part of what people want to use Google for. If I'm searching for "sweaters" there's a damn good chance that what I'm really doing is shopping for clothes. So ads for sweaters and other things that I might also be looking to buy based on my search terms are part of what I expect to see.
Compare that to Facebook ads. Facebook ads on the sidebar don't bother people much. But ads in the news feed and sponsored links with their friends names on them really annoy users. So far, not so much that FB users have abandoned the service. They keep it at a level where it's moderately annoying but won't actually change users' willingness to use the service.
How much revenue does Instragram generate? How is it that modern business "investors" have lost any inkling of a connection between revenue generation and enterprise value?
The quoted article doesn't SAY that, not anywhere. It's called "making shit up" otherwise known as writing Slashdot headlines, and there is no such implication in US law. Normally, an arrest happens on suspicion and an indictment follows. Sometimes, they do it the other way around but it's never the case that the police need an indictment to arrest you.
They can't actually arrest him since he is an Australian citizen who leaked information from outside of the USA. He is not subject to the laws of the USA. If the US sends people after him outside of the USA, Assange should kill them because once they step foot outside of their borders, they have no authority any more.
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. But they would have to convince a jury and a judge that this was the case.
There are numerous examples of nonprofits that spend the majority of their revenues on activities other than fundraising. For example Oxfam and the American Heart Association. Oxfam raised 918M Euros and spent 77M on fundraising. AHA raised $674M in 2012 and spent $80M on fundraising.
By profit, I mean in a general sense an increase in the net value of an enterprise, accruing to the benefit of the owners of that enterprise.
This distinguishes a for-profit company from from a nonprofit, where there may be an increase in the net value of the enterprise, but this increase is not returnable to the owners (if any) of the enterprise. For example. Oxfam cannot be sold to pay its shareholders nor is any excess in revenue generated by operations and fundraising legally distributable to its owners as return on investment.
You can imagine a nonprofit doing almost anything, including manufacturing, distributing and selling goods to the public. If a nonprofit were to do so, any extra revenue generated from the sales of the computers would not be distributed to investors and stockholders. It would be working capital. In the United States and many other countries, such an organization might not be eligible for tax exemption because the laws governing tax exempt organizations are restrictive. If their sole purpose were to make and sell computers to the public, they would pay taxes like for-profit corporations do. If their purpose were to make and sell computers at cost to schools for the purpose of education, they could be tax exempt.

Most of these features are bullshit. The only feature that's worth anything is the alerting of a parent via audible alarm in the case of an emergency. A $250 price tag and all that mobile notification and data collection is useless because you won't know how to do anything with it.
A nonprofit startup can be funded by another nonprofit or a group of backers who form the nonprofit. Once established, they operate much like other companies except there is never any pretense that they will pay back their investors or share the cash they generate with them, as for-profit corporations pretend to do.
Wages are necessary. Breaking even is necessary. Profit is a religious thing.
Oh, and you don't get to create artificial scarcity just to guarantee someone a viable business.
That's correct. Not for profits can continue to run indefinitely without ever making a profit as long as what they are doing remains valuable to people who support their existence and non-profit-making.
Most companies, however, must make a profit to justify their tying up working capital that could be profitably engaged elsewhere.
There is a good reason for their being PDFs. That's to make them readable and printable on almost any machine running almost any system. they could have exported them to html but that wouldn't make them automatically have identical pagination on every system regardless of browsers, screen size and other things that are relevant for documents primarily intended for print.
I agree with the overall 90%, except in my case it's more like 98% of the time I only want the document to read and maybe print. If the default reader has options to save, download, print, zoom and search, it's good enough for in browser use for me, and if it DOESN'T support all those system-infecting embedded code features, that's a bonus. It means I won't have to download biweekly security updates.
Do I need to root my phone before installing?
No. You can have a rooted phone, or not. The installer doesn't care. However, to be in a supported configuration, you need to be running a stock ROM.
Do I need to unlock my bootloader first?
No, you don't. If your bootloader is locked, we'll unlock it for you.
Can I install if I'm running a custom ROM?
Provided the installer can identify your phone correctly, it doesn't matter which ROM you're running. Again, to be in a fully supported configuration, you should be running a stock ROM. If you're already running a custom ROM, you probably know what you're doing.
How do I get back to stock?
You may perform a full backup from recovery, after flashing recovery (you will have to do this manually, at the moment) and then copy it off the device, if you don't have an external sdcard. If you've already run the installer, you will have to find stock images and flash them using fastboot or Odin.
Depends on how you measure addictiveness. If you compute it by dividing the number of addicts by the number of users, it's a hell of a lot less addictive than nicotine.

Four doesn't make the bar for numerous, IMO, and people unintentionally killed are not normally called "executed."
It looks like the way you use the word numerous, I'd be fine in saying, "Numerous US Presidents have sent US troops to Afghanistan."

They might not arrest him. They might just shoot him.
Or they might send federal troops to enforce school desegregation.
These things happen in America, but not every day.

They certainly have been arrested.
He didn't say unjustified. He said without a fair trial.
For example, Osama bin Laden was executed (or at any rate killed) without a fair trial. Would you say that was unjustified?
I'd be interested to know the names of these numerous US citizens whom the government executed without a fair trial.

They're very close cousins to Arabs.

That assumes that camel and the man didn't both get it from the same place.
This one looks more like 42%. That's assuming of course that there aren't low grade infections that aren't even diagnosed.
