Without wikileaks we wouldn't know that US Soldiers were killing innocent journalists and children (the Pentagon denied the event happened). That Hillary Clinton was stealing credit card numbers from foreign diplomats.
That isn't true. We just wouldn't know it yet.
It's illegal to classify information to hide illegal acts. At some point, the information will be declassified, whether when its term runs out (25 years by default, not the best possible situation) or when someone who has the information brings it to the attention of the IG, whose responsibility is to ensure that the power structure does not abuse its power. Every level of command has an IG, so if you don't get action from one, you go up the chain. Eventually you reach the White House and Congress, and when it reaches that point the shitstorm starts in earnest.
If Manning had done that instead of giving uncleared foreigners all of our Secret information, he'd be a hero. But he didn't, so he is a traitor. Any good that may have come from the release does not mitigate the illegality of releasing it.
Yes, it's that simple.
Same logic for Assange. He's sloppy with the releases (don't quote the bullshit about working with newspapers on the State Department memos; his prior releases and his threats to do a raw dump are sufficient to reveal his character; and don't beg for evidence that someone was harmed by it: you don't get a DUI for harming anyone, you get it for increasing the chances) and his goal is not informing the American public but destabilizing the American government and reducing its ability to carry on activities that require security of information.
He also could have done it without throwing information into the enemy's hands. But he's not about doing the right thing, he's about doing the sensational thing.
I started reading that, but the first "lie" was merely dramatic license. I've seen lists like this before and they're all like that.
Moore's use of dramatic methods to tell the story are not lying, not in the way that the right wing's diversions, obfuscations, and blatant lies are lying.
In the end, Moore tells you the truth, and the GOP and its corporate masters and its gibbering minions take your money and move on to their next lie.
This is the same guy who has insinuated that George W. Bush is pals with Osama Bin Laden and specifically sent too few troops into Afghanistan to make sure Bin Laden escaped and wanted to keep his Taliban friends safe.
The first part of that is unknowable without getting W to admit it. The second is borne out by the evidence. Bush's plans for that war were not to win it but to create a reason to start a bigger war that would be profitable for his cronies for a century.
The money isn't there. Unless you can find enough people willing to pay enough money to cover the cost of the infrastructure, you will lose money on the project.
Simplest rule of business, and yet the people who put up satellite phone services don't seem to be able to do this very simple piece of math.
Or they do it, and then they take their time putting up the system and the entire world moves out from under them. That's how the Iridium constellation ended up selling for pennies on the dollar, which is all it could make by the time it was up, because cell service was covering 90% of the planet by the late 90s, not 30% as of the late 80s when the concept was floated.
The other two rulings on this same issue have stated exactly how it applies to interstate commerce. This judge is ignoring numerous precedents that support the Commerce clause by pretending that this doesn't fit.
I'm just eyeballing the pictures, but, they don't appear to move.
This isn't surprising for the outer dots, which are 20-60 times farther from the star than Earth is from the sun, but the innermost one doesn't seem to move either. Not even a little.
There should be some rearrangement in the 4 months between the photos.
So, what about the bi-/quadr-/sextenially elected American government do you consider "Authoritarian?" The fact that it has laws?
The Kenyan government defended their secrecy by killing 1300 people and sending 300,000 into the hills following Wikileaks' application of that "goal." And now Assange says Wikileaks never got anyone hurt. To him, 1300 people = nobody, rhetorically.
His statements are moot. His actions speak volumes. He doesn't care if anyone gets hurt. He doesn't understand that secrecy is already walled up as much as it can be from centuries of the usual threats of espionage, and anything he gets is just because someone isn't following the procedures properly.
He's not a journalist, he's a spy and a danger to the innocent people, and he has no authority to be one. There's your tyrant, a person who proclaims that he's above all law and not culpable for any damage he may cause.
And these are the people that we set loose with big guns, exploding doohickeys, and nukes.
Who? Slashdotters who read a headline and start posting as if they know all the details? Slashdot summary writers who type so fast they forget to read TFA themselves? Journalists who misquote and misread their own notes if they bother to take any if they bother to ask any questions?
The logical progression is to learn something before posting, because the people who can order use of the big guns, exploding doohickeys, and nukes actually had these policies in place, and the people at the other end responsible for implementing them failed to make sure they were being followed. The person responsible for following them who refused to follow them didn't have the authority to shoot snot out of his nose, much less big guns, exploding doohickeys, and nukes.
Except that long ago there was a directive from the Pentagon not to allow removable media to be used for secure systems.
My guess is that they relaxed that for field units because some deployed systems have no networking attached and sneakernet is all they could use. And somehow that idea ended up meaning you could use removable media on network-attached systems, and eventually nobody even noticed when someone slipped a CD-RW into a machine with access to the entire database of classified information relating to the Iraqi and Afghani theaters of operation.
That someone is currently in jail, because, physical means or no, it was still illegal to take the information from the secure area without authorization, and to give it to uncleared people.
I use the charts in the Google Apps spreadsheet app.
Recently, they "upgraded" the chart software.
Under the upgraded software, the charts now look like total shit.
The documentation is vague and shallow. The options panes are missing or disable important features that might help me produce charts that don't look like shit. The only way to downgrade to charts that work is to revert to older versions of the document and not to accept the upgrade when making changes in the future.
Google has lost the plot. The last thing I want at this point is to give them control of application compatibility of my data.
Not to take that seriously or anything, but he could probably handle it just by brushing his armor twice a day, since it's essentially the same problem that you solve by brushing your teeth twice a day.
The Earth has been through a few cycles of sedimentation; sedimentation including the deposition of salt where bodies of water receded and dried up. In some cases cubic miles of the stuff. The Atlantic is a relatively new ocean in the middle of what used to be the Earth's only continent. Just the place you'd find a big lens of salt to be dissolved into the new ocearn.
However, if you read that link you will find that the salinity affects all sorts of dynamic properties of the ocean, so it could be that the concentrations are due to stability in the distribution of these dynamics, with positive-feedback processes causing salt (in the form of alkaline and halide ions in solution) to migrate from areas of slightly lower salinity to areas of slightly higher salinity, creating a larger gradient in the dynamic process, that then causes more salt to migrate the same direction, and so on until some other process that operates in the reverse direction as a function of salinity reaches an intensity that puts the system into equilibrium, if indeed it is in equilibrium.

If $20,000 isn't the full amount, it doesn't do the job. It helps do the job.
The problem is that most of Moore's "facts" which he presents in his movies turn out to be no more than elaborate fabrications.
Wow. You jumped up and demonstrated exactly the corporate-puppet faculties he was pointing out.

This place is not getting a good review for service from me.
Has anyone ever done a security review on Emacs?
I mean, with a piece of software that bloated, it could be decrypting your stuff and uploading it to anyone.
Ding! This ^

Where is it?
does it REALLY matter that much who finds it first?
Ever spent $8 billion on a gamble?
Ever justified $8 billion in spending by saying that no existing equipment can hope to accomplish it?
If Fermi finds it first, CERN is fucked. They won't get funding for a profitable plan to discover God.

Billions of years ago the earth was green because the oceans were lousy with iron and iron oxide.
It wasn't until life appeared to bind the iron and release the oxygen that the Earth became blue.
Then it froze over. The whole thing. For half a billion years. So be careful what you wish for.
The Earth has been through a few cycles of sedimentation; sedimentation including the deposition of salt where bodies of water receded and dried up. In some cases cubic miles of the stuff.

Because it's not a ghost.
