You really haven't read *anything* from the link which I posted, have you?
You have your crusade and you want to pursue it blindly, that much is obvious.
Reading the actual court documents is very *very* revealing, by the way - it throws much of Assange supporters claims right out the window. Such as basically your entire post.
It's technically a charge of "lesser rape"- we wouldn't call it rape in the English speaking world. Sweden has three types of "rape" on their laws, only one of which we would call rape, and the least serious of which is what Assange is accused of.
This is a common argument made by Assange supporters - that the "rape" allegation is only "rape" in Sweden.
Its a bullshit argument.
Here in the UK, for extraditions to be approved by the court, the reasons for extradition need to meet the "dual criminality" test - they need to be equitable crimes here in the UK, and if they are not then the extradition is not carried out.
Assanges lawyers tried arguing that "its only rape in Sweden" to the UK High Court during their appeal in July 2011 - the court threw their arguments out, giving a lengthy ruling on this very exact issue:
See points 104 to 127 in the High Court ruling - the court spends five and a half pages giving its reasons why the court has judged that the fourth offence being considered against him is also considered "rape" in the UK.
Five and a half pages. And that doesn't even count the pages spent giving reasonings for the other three offences being considered!
And yet people like you still use the "its only rape in Sweden" line!
Yes, they are more experienced and often more confident, but they can also be less well versed in more modern treatments and techniques - continuous professional development isnt as intense and all covering as a doctors initial training, so the younger the doctor is, the more recent their core training will be...
Pay especially close attention to the type of housing - most of it is Victorian era terraced, with on street parking. No allocated parking, and often you find you cant park on the street you live on due to the number of homes with more than one car.
Most of these homes won't be able to charge an EV. There simply isnt the ability. Until that changes, EV will still be a niche thing here - and the only way that will change is when charging comes down to a 5 minute stop somewhere at a charger spot, similar to a petrol station currently...
What the hell are you people doing to cars that requires a $1200 a year repair budget...?
My wife is a GP Doctor, she uses her Landrover for home visits and does about 40,000 miles a year. The Landrover is 13 years old - we spend less than £400 on that car per year, with services, MOT and upkeep, and insurance is £250 a year including business use.
Thats about $900 at current exchange rates...
So what the hell are you people doing to your cars?!
The recent "prologue trailer" for Alien Covenant is worse. Look away now if you haven't seen the film and don't want spoilers.
It literally has nothing to do with the film - I have no idea what actually happened, but Noomi Rapace (Elizabeth Shaw from Prometheus) basically doesn't appear in the full film, all her scenes are in the "prologue trailer", and the film itself goes off in a totally different direction. The "prologue trailer" hypes you up for the coming story and then... nothing. That story isnt told. They tell a different story.
There is basically a film missing between Prometheus and Covenant.
That doesnt remove the ability of the Austrian court to do anything - the Austrian court still has as much jurisdiction as it can encircle with its ability to enforce its judgements.
He does have a point in that anything owned and operated by the general public tends to be maintained to a lower standard than anything owned and operated in an industry which has rigorous maintenance standards and penalties for not following them, such as the airline industry...
Even with private aircraft and pilots, the pre-flight walk rounds can take more time than the flight - precisely because it is necessary to ensure some level of safety.
That is what terrifies me about the flying car concept - all the ideas are around private ownership and operation. Knowing that some people in the UK are more than willing to not maintain their cars to the level of passing a £35 governmental standard test (the MOT, once a year) and instead drive potentially unsafe cars around illegally, I don't want that situation when those cars take to the air...
Yup, this is no different to "fusion drives" that have been on the market for years - a small SSD acting as a cache for a large spinning disk.
What is different is that all Kaby Lake Intel chipsets come with support for setting this up in the bios, easily and quickly, so long as you are using an Optane PCIe stick as the cache device.
Once the DIMM packaged versions become available, thats when Optane will really start to take off - slightly slower than DRAM, but not much, but considerably cheaper than DRAM for the same capacity - so you get slightly slower, much much cheaper RAM, meaning large RAM setups (like 1TB plus) are no longer out of many peoples budgets...
Free *software* may be winning, but RMS goes way beyond free *software* - his entire ethos is built around his idea and style of "freedom", which in many ways is significantly more limiting than the alternatives...
That doesn't matter - may I refer you to the case of the NatWest three and Navinder Singh Sarao, a day trader based in London who is about to be extradited to the US.
People who have never stepped foot in the US have been extradited to the US to face charges.
The recent court cases against British and other foreign bankers in the US, leading to extraditions, have already basically laid the basis for jurisdiction over Assange should he be charged with passing classified material under US law...
So, as a host, Airbnb pays for the rooms upkeep, the staffs hourly wages to be on call should the guest require an extra towel, or the toilet unblocking...? Or does the host pay for that?
The iPad 1 was obsolete pretty much the day it launched - they launched it extremely close to the iPhone 4, but they gave the iPhone 4 twice the amount of RAM, meaning that the flagship brand new Apple tablet already couldn't run all the apps available...
Right, and you do realise that the SPEECH act does not matter to the Australian judicial system, right? If its bounced out of the US, the EFF had better hope it never has any funds or assets in Australia, because they will be seized under contempt of court, and contempt of court rulings aren't covered by the SPEECH act even if the contempt is based on an original case which is, so any fines issued under contempt of court *can* be pursued in US courts against its US assets.
The SPEECH act is not a "get out of jail free card", and it does NOT solve the underlying issue - there is a valid court order issued in Australia, and any ruling by a San Francisco court doesn't invalidated it, it just limits the ability to collect under that specific ruling in the US. There are multiple ways around that if the EFF want to ignore the Australian court...
Yes, I've read the SPEECH act (been a few years tho).
The court order wont be enforced in the US - it will be enforced in Australia, by an Australian court, and if the EFF refuse to comply, then the Australian court will issue contempt proceedings, in Australia.
If the court fines the EFF, then that fine can be pursued in the US under separate law, but it probably wont need to be.
And I'm on the EFFs side in this battle, I just think their filing in the SF court is ridiculous and a waste of money, as any court ruling in SF will have utterly no effect on this order.
This and "roasts" are two things an American friend of mine tried to explain to me when he realised we don't have either - and then our Comedy Central tried to get the UK all het up about Justin Beibers "roast" and it all failed miserably over here.
The Americans just have some unique sense of humour, one that is hard to decipher some of the time:)
It depends on the timings - the airline crew can only legally operate if they have a given amount of *uninterrupted* rest before the flight, and that includes travel time. If the flight gets them there in enough time to allow for the uninterrupted rest period before the flight the next morning, but any other travel means does not, then the flight is the only option. In this case, driving wouldnt have cut it as it would have broken into the rest period.
If you contact the airline, they will pretty much always credit the ticket price to another journey within 12 months, even if the ticket was in a non-refundable fare class.

Translating the charge against him to "rape" is already fucked up.

There isnt though, the next film is for between Covenant and Alien.

Why does that need a separate decree, rather than just being prosecuted...?
