so why does it seem credible that the US seeks a sneaky slight of hand extradition?
One of the two 'girls' involved was kicked out of Cuba for her work with CIA operations there. That's part of why it's credible.
What the motivation may be is a separate matter. I suspect Assange is made more of an example for other journalists if he's wrung through the system rather than just disappeared in the middle of the night.
The only reasonable hypothesis is that he has something more damaging than what's in the insurance file that could come out if he were a free man.
Remember the Bank of America hard drive image that was going to be released but never was when all these came about after the Arab Spring? State Department embarrassment is one thing, but you don't fuck with the banksters.
The number of mobile phones with low-resolution image sensors is going to approach zero over time. There's enough data in a typical smartphone image sensor to pick up subband-coded watermarks in a printed image and very transform-resistant image watermarks have been known science for at least a decade. QR codes, radios, etc. are all unnecessary. Point your phone at the poster and let the image app work out whether there's information embedded in it.
Since this isn't already the norm, there must be a patent that is preventing the progress of the useful sciences here.
Whether the CM10 release is finished on such devices before Google release the next shiny code drop is an open question.
Indeed! I think in the case of my device, the issue is more that Jelly Bean has a 3.x kernel with the OMAP support it needs, vs. a bunch of stuff that was backported to 2.6.32 and attempts to forward port that to 3.0 were not entirely successful by the community.
It's incredibly unstable. The CM10 builds are already more stable, but CM7 is the only thing you'd give to a non-hardcore-geek. So far you have to build your own CM10 for Encore.
The encryption IS the security on implantable, reprogrammable medical devices; password, 2 step authorization or the like is not possible due to the existence of medical emergencies
So it's security by obscurity for a system that can kill somebody, remotely and wirelessly? C'mon, an Ask Slashdot could come up with a better plan than that!
Set up a NAS with 9 3TB SATA drives. rsync your data to it.
The NAS should be a RAID 01 or a RAID15 or similar. The idea would be to have two sets of three drives. e.g. sdc sdd sde make up md3 and sdf sdg sdh make up md4. Make a RAID-1 of md3 and md4 (call it md5). Format your md5 with ext4 and do your rsync. When it's time to move your data offsite, break fail md4 out of md5 and remove it. Dissassemble md4 and pull the drives. Replace the drives and rebuild md4. Put md4 back into md5 and wait a long time for it to resync. Take your md4 drives and bring them offsite (to a friend's house or a bank safe deposit box).
For security, make a LUKS volume on top of md5 and mount that. You could do all of the above with zfsonlinux in a couple steps if you want to do that (though it has some beta-ish edges at the moment).
For really budget get external eSATA adapters and an eSATA card with multiple connectors. The freestanding units where you just slide in a drive are nice. But, that's really ghetto and you'll be happier with a hotswappable setup, if you can afford it at this point (or go ghetto now and upgrade later with no changes to the drives).
There's never going to be a stable cm9 for Nook Color. cm10 is already more stable than cm9 on it, so that's where all the developers went. As far as I know they've thrown code over the wall but nobody has built zips yet.
There's supposedly a debian vm you can get with most of the bits installed to build it. Why nobody's done that and then synced the resultant images to an FTP site, I'm not clear on (so there must be more to it than that, right?)
Anyway, use cm7 or self-build cm10 now for Nook Color.
But isn't Windows 8 still in testing? Or did you mean that no manufacturers have announced Windows 8 phones yet? (I'm assuming, I have no interest in the market other than to watch Nokia confirm my deal-with-the-devil presumptions)
Actually the IDG journalist involved did contact me; the text I posted above was copied from my reply to him! He even quoted the "build bridges" bullet...
Pretty much every interaction with a journalist has been of this type. The more I know of something in a news article, the more I see why it's wrong. At this point I just assume all of the news is more wrong than right.
That's actually why Slashdot is a useful news site too...
Codehaus's logo [codehaus.org] has the same keyhole.
heh, as a child my dog's doghouse had a little ramp on the front of it, so I don't see the keyhole in Codehaus's logo. I do wonder who was so clever as to build a doghouse with a circular door, though.

there are many of us who see [the] actions of the government currently in power in this country as *extremely wrong*.
TFTFY
What about the insurance file?
The only reasonable hypothesis is that he has something more damaging than what's in the insurance file that could come out if he were a free man.

Quite so. From London, even.
While storming the embassy would be an immediate defeat for Assange
Look, if I were to be granting asylum for somebody in a known hostile country, I'd be sure to smuggle him out before making the public announcement.
Do we actually know he's still there?
Problem for him is he'd have to get out at the airport or somewhere.
Chunnel?
How's life in orbit these days?
Isn't it civilized to punish people who do bad things?
Like being gay or driving with girly parts.
and then bomb their fucking stuck-up, 15th century asses into the ground
Yeah, that'll show 'em what civilized behavior looks like!

Last time I checked, the government can't lie. It can only deny.
Sorry, incorrect. Go watch "Don't talk to police" on YouTube. Required viewing for US residency.

So does CM9. Search xda for Eyeballer's builds.

Either that, or the DOJ has nobody with any skills whatsoever.
Or they'd like criminals to believethat they can't pull data from an iPhone.

Thanks, that's all I want. CM wiki says the XT is GSM only, but I'll look for a CDMA version (all that exists in these parts).

We know that this is bad practice for passwords. Why do we tolerate it for "security questions"?
Because the idiots who come up with this stuff have never heard of an attack-chain analysis.
lol I live on $15k-$20k pre-tax salary
Dang, your kids aren't very demanding!
I don't ever expect to have to actually tell lolcats.edu again that my dog's name is QRYh3l34
Yeah, but the FCC might ask him about it.
(PS your comment is Spot-on).
There's "Windows Phone 8", but there aren't any cell phones with it, since it's not released yet.
You think they'll release it without ever having tried it on any hardware?
