Wikileaks are the bad actors. Hence the need to run to Sweden to hide.
At least, until they release some Swedish secrets.
They can't hope to locate themselves anywhere. They've made themselves extralegal in all jurisdictions. Like all the other "pirate" organizations through history, they will eventually have to find space that nobody owns but them.
As for how to defeat this thing, aside from cutting off its outside contact and obviating their mission, if you want to get inside you just wait for someone to go in, kidnap them, and use them as a hostage. The people inside will open up. They're hippie anarchists, not Navy Seals. So unless they're psychopathic (not counting that out), the prospect of watching another hippie anarchist get flensed will send them running for the security keypad. "Let us in or we dice your friend. And if you destroy the data, we'll dice both of you."
So they still have quite a bit to fear from the other bad actors who want their data.
Any map that puts Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Brian Cox at antipodes is bollocks.
Astronomy and physics are more intimately related than most sciences, and should come out at almost the same point, not carry unsuspecting travellers to opposite ends of the map.
Looking at the rest of it, graphically it's confusing and randomly connected rather than insightfully linked.
Someone had a spreadsheet full of names in columns by college major and sorted by date, and they hung it on a colorful template. Which didn't fit so they wrapped the data around in a spiral, just like a...subway system....?
The send out annual updates (a service included in the purchase price). The next full revision, with all of the updates since the most recent full revision, is due in 10 years.
Which is, IMO, the best possible reason to turf paper editions.
Actually, the saddest part is that in this case the one citation was apparently the preponderance of the evidence, and the decision turned on the validity of the primary source, and the court gave the appellant no opportunity to correct the error before killing the case.
They run the show in every war. The thing about Afghanistan is that it's not a war so much as an attempt to start an economy and a cultural revolution while policing random thugs.
Which means the people at the rear don't have anything of substance to work on, and are engaged in continually statusing each other on the things they put in place years ago hoping to accomplish the mission they knew was a marathon of cyclic behaviors, not a race to beat the Rooskies to Berlin.
It sounds like they could combine the information flows and reduce the HQ by a significant number. But unless the person on top of them does that for them, they're going to continue the status quo, making only incremental improvements, because those show up as just as many bullets on their promotion packets.
Hopefully either Petraeus or POTUS will jump into the circle and make some changes.
The Taliban are inveigled into civilian populations throughout Afghanistan and half if not all of Pakistan.
If we were simply to nuke those areas we'd get about a 0.01% ratio of bad guys to collateral damage. Then the rest of the world would rightfully come after us.
So no. When that idea was presented (probably milliseconds after 9/11, probably by GW Bush), it was rejected as more expensive than just nuking ourselves.
It's at this point you should expect someone to tell you to grow the fuck up. And if you didn't expect that, then you're even farther behind than I thought.
If he's 61, he's lived through a few world-class military-political fuckups and knows better than you do about what happens when you let the terrorists run around unabated, and that the only way to prevent that is to put someone in harm's way, and if the pussies behind the keyboards won't do it, then you have to do it yourself.
You can thank him when he gets home. I hope he decks you.

It does, but you're going to have a bitch of a time calling it up on your iPhone from your dorm-room webserver during a test.
Or in this case, to a random volume and page.

I just cancelled a post on a premonition that I'd read your post saying what i was going to say almost exactly how I'd have said it.

Had to click through a few things to actually see it:

and the original NYT piece:

both include some brilliant shit, and absolutely nail some of the things I've noticed about what PPT does to your information organization

Thank you for reminding us all that no matter how much real information exists, some people will still totally miss the point.

I haven't been in my comfort zone since the plutocracy got the Gingrich nazis elected in the 90s.
And I can't tell who you're ranting against, since Fox News is the one manufacturing stories and ignoring the news.
