  1. Ijiot, you offer revenue. Play our way, or fuckin do not play at all. When you supply the revenue, you make the rules. Social services, infrastructure, sound justice systems and efficient quality regulatory agencies all work together to create the opportunities for revenue, either pay your share or fuck off, that is the rule that is required. Cheat on taxes in tax havens, use exploited labour and resources, well, you are not wanted and will either be banned outright or charged import duties to match the unfair cost savings against local producers. So do it fair or pay anyhow or simply be banned, done and finished, ain't no one beggin for nuthin, they will be told how it will be.

    In this case it is the authorities who are the clowns, acting too little and too late to do anything worthwhile. A investigatory flying squad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., should be the first ones on the scene as soon as it is reported. This to gather evidence for proper investigation. This requires additional effort, as you can not just strip the victim of the core computer hardware but must provide a temporary stop gap and get it up and running, whilst the infected machines are properly analysed or even honey trapped. Real focus needs to be taken to tackle high end organised computer crime whether it be criminals or foreign agents (in reality much the same kind of criminal, a lot more exchange goes on there than is allowed, a whole lot more).

  3. They have kind of woken up to the fact that if you own underwater front property, easy access to fossil fuels is a bad idea and quite wealthy people live and own in the underwater front zones across the globe, many own in multiple locations. What the sheep want is arbitrary, the eat what they are given and they are shorn regularly, if you can not buy it, you can not buy it (like its going to be a matter of choice, the infernal combustion engine will be banned from city centres globally).

    So renewable for domestic consumption and nuclear for industrial, high density residential, desalination and recycling (cheap plentiful energy means very high reuse of resources and leaving difficult locations to wallow in the misery of their own creation, leave them in peace and let them sort it out themselves or not).

    Then of course there is getting into space in a big way and that at a minimum will require pretty high density long life energy sources, nuclear as a start.

    They were fined 586 million dollars, which is pretty indicative of how much they stole. How many went to jail, well, apparently none. So the government still turning a blind eye to corporate criminals instead fining the investors. Corporate crime, the crime that pays quite well and when you get caught, well, someone else pays that fine, what a disgusting scam. Why is corporate crime out of control, this is exactly why corporate crime is out of control.

    How about a universal programming language based upon English, maths and physics uses. A properly designed from scratch programming language with no psychopathically insanely greedy encumbrances. English is just the text in a container, the underlying programming language is more important and none of the current ones are good enough.

    Access by people and countries is also tied to the craziness of religions, authoritarian states controlling and limiting access. Then there is extreme corporate invasion of privacy and placing far tighter mandatory limits on it. Consideration also needs to be placed upon safe and secure access for minors, a separate, secured and encrypted internet with strict limits on access. A more complete measure of socio-digital health and ensuring the result is of benefit for the majority.

  6. If closed source proprietary software is too expensive, privacy invasive, badly supported, unreliable or insecure and it's use represent an unsound economic burden on a country, simply use and work on the free open source version of it. Not only will you save money but you will also develop computer sciences in your own country, so double plus benefit. It's the old give a man a fish or in this case selling it to them versus teaching them how to fish.

    In this case the conclusion is both right and wrong. They are right to claim Native Australians (not the adjective people), did cause that extinction. However they were societies under stress due to the ice age onset and so, while they were once stable in their ecology, that stability was disturbed by an ice age.

    The reproductive rate is tied to genetics and cerebral thought patterns that lock into belief structures, high peak thought cycles that become go to solutions for a wide range of problems and require substantially higher thought peaks to shift them. So reproduction is closely tied to 'religiosity', they are tied to a belief and the nature of that religiosity, as expressed in the belief of reproduction, is expressed by religions desire and even need to control reproduction and all elements of it even to forced reproduction.

    So you must believe in reproduction in order to reproduce or as it turns out and is reflected in reality, be raped by a religious freak or as is often the freaks, as in plural (The Uncle Tom Obama brigades in Syria).

  10. My statement was more about principle, rather than this particular incident. In this case the person admitted to having the password and was seeking to extort payment, that is problematic (the information was not theirs to sell, they did steal the by denying access to it by the proper owners). The hardware, well, the employer has to prove it is theirs and the contractual conditions under which they gave the employee that hardware, before they can try to claim it back. Obviously they did not simply claim it was stolen, hence it ownership is questionable, they can only really sue for it's return. Google is still largely at fault for the problem, they simply did the cheap thing, fobbed it off and failed to deal with it properly.

    I would bet my last dollar that quite of few of those 'Asians' (so why is it Asians versus 'white people' rather than Europeans). are paid quite a lot more than they seem to be. So where is that extra money coming from, why from those foreign agencies who hire and train them, just before they apply for the job working on US computer infrastructure. I'll bet there are so many secret features buried so deep they will never be able to find them all, US corporate greed serving the US as always, as cheaply as possible to maximise profits and fuck the consequences.

    Nobody trusts the US any more, not one tiny little bit and as such they all will be looking to place sleeper agents as deeply as possible in US digital infrastructure, no just agents, the software and hardware they insert into US digital infrastructure that remains long after the agent has left and this will have been going on for some time. Thanks US corporate greed, revenge for the NSAs shenanigans in other countries would not be possible without you.

  15. As a ex-employee he is fully entitled to be a big a dick as he wants with regard to his ex-employer. Not a good idea as it damages you image for future employment but you are now free and the company can only suspend payments to you. What was on the notebook or not on the notebook is truly imaginary.

    The reality is google were the dicks for not promptly and properly assessing the case and returning service. The claim should be against google and not the ex-employee. The university in turn should wake up to itself and properly manage it's services to students, clearly working through google is a really, really bad idea.

    I give you a hint, ex-employer asks me for anything after termination and quote for consultation services will be provided including the upfront payment demand for the cost of the call, no freebies, not one seconds worth.

  16. It seems everyone is jumping the gun on announcements, even Julian. No acceptance of extradition can be made until the US as applied for extradition with specified crimes and substantiated evidence. With the current state of US politics clearly under the destructive influence of finance corporations and arms industry, pretty much any charge would be made, no matter how spurious, with the intent of extended life threatening imprisonment drawn out by a purposefully extended trial process designed to be it's own punishment ie years or prison under the worst possible conditions, whilst the trial drags on and on and on.

    So Assange needs to correct his statement to, I am waiting for the US secret punishments via corrupt prosecutions to come clean with the secret warrants. Ideally Assange should return to Australia, as an Australian and should the US wish to attempt extradition, they can do so in the Australian legal system. Assange has a legal responsibility to ensure that in legal relations between Australia and the USA, that the USA is forced to adhere to the principles of Australian law when seeking application of law from within Australia.

    Julian has a moral responsibility to ensure that the US government is forced to treat with Australian citizens under Australian law. So out of the UK and back to Australia and then lets see what will happen. Will the UK want him back, will Sweden seek extradition, will the US just slink away too embarrassed to put their claim before the Australian high court (I am sure there are others that the US wants to drag out of Australia for persecution via corrupt prosecution, for which they are also to cowardly to put before a real court for an extradition claim).
