a diplomats very job is to be a legal spy in a given country. he won't run around with a gun, but he will be learning anything and everything he can to make sure his country has the information they may or may not need. Most diplomats are also in charge of real spies. either directly or indirectly.
2009 global climate, sound like normal diplomacy to me. See China manipulating people to boycott the nobel peace prize.
no american has a right to detain or control the leader of another country if he is carrying armed weapons, cash, or even illegal drugs. now proper authorities might be contacted so he can be limited movements, but he had to be let go as he wasn't a threat to the Embassy or it's personnel. Are you saying that it is right for American's to interrupt and arrest foreign officials, because that is what it is you are saying.
Do you have any idea what diplomats actually do? or are you another moron. Do you have any idea on the limits of their abilities? Because it sounds like you are just another moron shouting out that it is wrong when you can't even under stand the concept of sovereign foreign countries.
The reporters who reveled the watergate scandal, also kept lots of it secrets and didn't divulge into every piece of paper the republican's created that year, only the parts that referenced the scandal.
Wikileaks simply dumped the entire contents onto the web. So far there hasn't been anything really damning about them, except the fact that diplomatic relationships are now shattered across the world.
How would you like every note you passed in class, every text you have sent, and every conversation where you said something bad about a friend to be posted to your facebook wall? how many fights would you get into? That is what wikileaks did. They didn't post scandalous behavior, they didn't post wrong doing or corruption, they posted everything said between two private parties, in private conversations.
Right now go look through your IM logs, text logs, and emails, between you and your friends and figure out just how damning some of them are.
it won't fit comfortably in your pocket anymore. so maybe a hip holster or purse. The whole idea of smaller phones is so that you can carry them without having to buy a holster for the damn things.
And if it wasn't for jobs there would be no android or windows 7 you wouldn't have a smart phone you would have something like like the sidekick, or windows mobile 6. you need someone who not only thinks outside the box but is willing to actually build what was dreamed up. very few in the industry are willing to do that now.
military spending does trickle down. GPS, Apranet, infrared detectors even the new M-25 all have very valuable civilian or police uses that would be possible without some major money funding their initial 20-30 year developments.
If you don't know why the M-25 with vaulable for police, it can fire flash bangs, and rubber bullets instead of bombs. You can flash bang a hostage room from far away on one side, while breaching on the other.
Two points the customers didn't complain, The customers simply got nationwide wireless(I have had it for a decade now), because the customers like to travel and in the USA there are no borders to check through.
The EU is made of countries, each soverign unto themselves. you have to pay international rates to go internationally.
And that is why single player games will never really go away.
Multiplayer is fun when you have time. but games that keep on going and going means that people who only play casually won't ever truely be a part of it.

I plug my mouse into the keyboard that way I only have one cable going under the desk. How is that not simpler? It also means I can move the keyboard and mouse together as opposed to haveing one of the cables to short.
Simplify your stuff. The smaller number of cable runs you have the neater and more organized they will be.
England got lucky, in two respects. Most of their kings and queens weren't total idiots, and since the 1300's the Lords had enough power that the kings and queens had to at least listen to them. Over time that power expanded into a parliament.
As for the size of their empire that too is pretty much all gone. American's revolted in a bloody fued, India was freed after several years of mostly non violent struggles, Their influence could only hold so long. After India all the other area's slowly became free too.
The only real response to to dictatorships is revolution as nothing else will work. There is no other method for change. Democracies in the past have collapsed because they were either killed off(Greece was conquored by the romans), put to much power in person's hands making them an emperor (rome).
The real solution is not to have one person with all the authority. However that creates two problems bureaucracy, and it is slow to react to anything.
In reality for all the grandstanding the President of the USA is almost powerless. He can't do much without approval of congress, he can only challenge things in court. He can deploy the military sure but only for 60-90 days. He can't create jobs, he doesn't control the economy or interest rates, all he can do is approve the budget. Oh and he gets all the blame.
there si a reason why everyone who goes into that office comes out ragged. You have no power to fix anything but you get all the blame when it goes wrong.
I can understand copyright. however Mickey mouse should not still be under copyright for another 30 plus years that it currently is.
Businesses should not be able to own copyrights, only individuals. Patents generally need resources to be developed, however all copyrights are the works of one or two people(even things like encyclopedia's boil down to a small group of editors with final control). Business can own trademarks, and patents, and trade secrets.
Edge is for AT&T in Verizon those areas get a randomly slower and slower speed until you get something with half the bandwidth of Edge but it is still labeled as 3G.
As the other poster said on iOS touching the wrong link is difficult. Maybe google should set some standards for touch resolution, as browsing the web on the iphone is a snap.
The only feature that I want is the send to my device (to send url's images, clipboard data to and from my phone. I can buy it for the iphone but then i have to use a third party to host the data.
With the leaks about Putin, i have expect him to be killed with polonium. Maybe a Mossad assassination.
The USA doesn't actually have to lay a finger on Julian Assange, Just about every European leader would like is head right about now. He can go to Ecuador or Australia. Anywhere else and his visa's will be mysteriously not accepted.
Of course they may equally be pissed at the USA, but then again I have yet to see any damning evidence of evil that Julian keeps saying is in there. In fact the scary part it actually shows Hillary as doing her job properly. I shudder just thinking about that.
which when you think about it is odd. ChromeOS is perfect for touch devices. a very simple, interface that has primarily one purpose and that is to surf the web.
keyboards are only so useful for that. The most data entry one does on the web is a quick email, or forms for ordering stuff.
because it let's china save face. Just like the comments from China about North Korea.
you have friends that are a married couple. You find out one cheated once but felt guilty about it. Do you tell the other because they are your friend too? That is what wikileaks has done.
Sometimes in order to get ahead in the world you have to keep small things secret.
Then why has china stopped exports of rare earth minerals?
China has already begun to clamp down on exports. China used the USA to drag itself from farmer peasants to manufacturers. once they reach that point with enough people they won't need the USA their own population wanting cars, computers, etc will be far more than the USA can buy
So do you read the national enquirer, and other tabloids to get your news then?They have valuable information in them that you can't live without, like when aliens will visit your neighborhood next.
I swear people finding the facts in those documents shocking is the single most disturbing point of the whole thing. It is like they are willingly shoving their heads up their arses about how the world works. It is like they have never actually understood the human interactions around them. Governments interacting with each other is no different than office politics, or club politics, or any other organization where humans are present. Even a group of Monks or Nuns, doing good works have internal squabbles, and politics to sort out the order.
name any organization, and if you actually look at the various motivations of the people involved you will find backstabbing politics at the center. Doesn't matter if it is a church, a football club, or even a local gang of thugs. The tools change, the goals change, how the actually backstabbing gets done changes, but in the end it is all the same.
No one learns because they don't want to learn. They don't want to understand themselves.
stupid question, how would an advertiser know that you have muted the commercial? There is no feedback. There is no way for them to know that you don't like it, so there is ZERO incentive for them to do anything about it.
The problem isn't solved, because the people causing the problem don't know/care about it. The problem is at best ignored by the user who mutes the commercial(I change channels)
Oh and there isn't ABP for your TV, or even for HULU(on many computers it is harder to mute the system quickly) to block/quiet commercials.
For the web well ABP has been a godsend. I even import the lists into safari to block most ads too.
And now iraq falls into a civil war and Iran invades it simply because they know the other muslim nations won't do anything to stop them and the USA now can't.
What if because of these leaks China now refuses to negotiate between North Korea/South Korea and let's North Korea invade South Korea?
Is that a good enough reason for secrecy?
The government does lots of things some of them are even bad, but diplomats need to be able to be trusted with information. if you can't keep a small secret how are you going to keep an important one? The USA Just lost all ability to negotiate safely. That is never a good thing.
There is nothing in those documents that is the least bit surprising to me. I am far more shocked that people think it is a surprise or scandalous. It is like they have had their head up their asses about how governments work. Why is it that no other country is saying anything on the topic? Do you know why? It is because they do all the same things with their own diplomats.
A government of the people only works with intelligent people. 50% of the people have below average intelligence.(don't you love statistics?) do you really want people that stupid making your decisions for you?

it got shot through a wormhole created by the recent CME.
what I saw it on tv it must be true.

modern ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles are launched underwater. nuclear subs only have to surface for food, and fun.

I spend 25 weeks every summer racing sailboats, 3-4 times a week.
And ellison's boat isn't the fastest in the world, but it is among them. The fastest went 55 knots in 25 knots of wind.

Out of all the cables only a couple hundred are actually damning, or show bad things of any kind.
The rest is gossip.
Even the National Enquirer has a higher rate of good journalism than that.
Why release 49,000 documents of political gossip when 1,000 of them have actual evidence in them?

The collateral Murder video was the first time I realized julian was a media whore.
That movie was edited to only show the parts that were bad, when the full clip was shown it shows just how hard troops try to miss civilians.
Once you start lying you can't stop. Julian started to cover up the truth with 10 seconds slides that only show his side.
And now iraq falls into a civil war and Iran invades it simply because they know the other muslim nations won't do anything to stop them and the USA now can't.
