From what i understand, the interpol warrant happened because Assange got tired of waiting on the Swedish prosecution actually getting round to holding a questioning. End result was that he left Sweden and the rest is history.
I suspect what is needed is more fine grained copyright. Right now the laws applied to software are basically the same that is applied to books. This even tho most software have, to date, a shelf life that is 1/10 of a book.
Some artists can work for hire, and so end up as something like a creative carpenter or plumber (first sale doctrines and all that may be a issue tho, as the first copyright laws where partially about printers getting a writers work and then mass producing it without providing said writer a share of the profits). Others can not and so would require more copyright protection. Then there is the issue of non-commercial use of copyrighted works. Doctorow have just put his latest project, "with a little help", up for grabs. Paperback from lulu, Limited edition hardcover, audio book on cd in mp3 or ogg, and the whole text for free for ebook readers. It will be interesting to see what the economic results will be.
Still, there is something in basic capitalist thinking that if a market changes anyone that can not adapt should go bankrupt. A government should not pass laws in an attempt maintain a market for someone. Copyright was first and foremost about profit sharing between a creator (writer) and a mass producer (printer). But now anyone can be a mass producer as part of every day social interaction. And said interaction can have global reach.
I may be shorter, but it needs to be at least a specific width to be usable. This because one would not want one part of the body to experience a different centrifugal force then another part (iirc).
As for mining, a better option may be the asteroid belt (tho moon mining would be a bootstrap for that). This as there would be less energy spent escaping gravity all the time.
That is my understanding the case basically. He had sex with one lady, and she later wanted him to get tested for STDs. He refused, she went to the police to find out if there was a way to force the issue, and now he finds himself under investigation for "sexual assault".
I seem to be able to use my VISA card to buy stuff online from damn near anywhere.
The only problem i have seen is that Google have tried to set up their own payment portal (checkout), rather then partnering up with visa or similar. This then results in Google having to get approval in various places before they can accept payment from there.
I recall hearing about two people that shared a nobel price, because they discovered that something in physics where the same as some pure math issue. This simply by having someone math researcher walk in on a physics lecture or something.
Basically there are to many ivory towers, and not enough bridges between them.
Hell, a astronomer suggested that volcanic activity could be linked to the moon (in much the same way as tides). Volcanologist basically told him to get lost as he was not qualified to speak on the subject. This even tho he have been able to use his theory to predict volcanic activity.
The way i increasingly see Android is as a external project that happens to piggy back on the Google brand recognition. It seems to break the goodwill that Google have been able to build up, any chance it gets.
No. There was however a separate mention of a added camera selection system, so that any app making use of cameras could select between rear and front facing cameras during use.
the opposite may also be the case, when news people focus intensely on something that the rest of the world could not care anything about (if not for the intense media coverage).
There is also some recent data suggesting that what one fear is the inability to stay current with the happenings.
That is, thinking about possible events right after ones death creates a bigger response then thinking about events perhaps 100 years after ones death.
Iirc, Marx aimed his manifesto at Germany. And he claimed russia would fail, as in his view one could not go communism without first having done capitalism to bootstrap the industry. And even then it would only be a stepping stone towards socialism.
The problem i see is that the "blood" nationalists are going to throw the baby out with the bath water. They can't see past the superficial differences and so end up wanting to throw out those that want to learn the language and ways of their new home, alongside those that are not.
Thing is, if one look at USA as an example, that while the first couple of generations may not "merge", over time they will. The Norwegian immigrants to USA initially set up their own "little Norway" in New York. They spoke only Norwegian, read Norwegian newspapers and so on. But over time they merged (to a greater or lesser degree. There is still Norwegian language newspapers being published in some places. And there are those that still dress in the traditional clothes on may 17.).
Could be that breaking up USA may be overkill. But cutting back on the micromanagement coming from DC could be a good thing (or how, or example, Texas is allowed to specify the curriculum of the US school system, thanks to their big book purchases). Funny thing is, EU seems to be sliding towards something like USA.
All in all, what i think have happened tho that has made the merging of immigrants harder is better lines of communications. Want news from home, hop online or get a sat dish aimed in the right direction. When you can place a phone call from anywhere to anywhere, as long as there is mobile coverage, it is much easier to maintain language and cultural details. A days flight and have crossed the globe. Cultural activities that is problematic in ones adopted home is just a flight away (as seems with the Somali custom of circumcising girls. Norwegian law bans it, so parents send their children to relatives in Somalia to get it done). Something like that would have been impossible when crossing the Atlantic was a week or longer.
Faster transportation may have given impressive economic growth, but it has also allowed someone on one side of the globe to micromanage what is happening on the other side. How quickly have we gone from telegraph to internet...
And was a non-issue until one of them freaked about possible sexual diseases, and asked police about getting a forced check on Assange. The whole thing smells of a stack of unintended consequences...

i recall reading about a actual closet in SF that was rented out.

So basically we are back to the age of the microcomputer?
then you have game reviews actually recommending the use of cracks, as they make games perform better. PC Gamer did so for Morrowind, iirc.

woa there, CDMA2K is in no way the same as UMTS. Yes, both use Code Division Multiple Access, but beyond that they are not related.

Why not make it available, in unlocked form, for everyone, everywhere?
No. There was however a separate mention of a added camera selection system, so that any app making use of cameras could select between rear and front facing cameras during use.

Frogpad? And also think there is a 4 key bluetooth chord keyboard out there.
about all the men carrying iphones around...

Iirc, the changes only have to be made public if a binary containing said changes are made public.
I think Google have some extensive changes that they have not shared because they only use it in their own data centers.
china trying to control the net, bad. But USA attempting to take wikileaks offline, business as usual...

One thing to consider is that Lenin warned against giving Stalin power.
Not that direct elections are infallible either, thanks to modern propaganda. Tea, anyone?
