You are a bit too patriotic in this, but the love for your military is clouding your judgement slightly. Assange is not responsible for the leak. The responsible for the leak are, firstly, the unknown people who designed and implemented a system that could allow a rogue American to amass and leak this information, and, secondly, the person who actually leaked it.
Assange has nothing to do with either the group who built the system and the policies that allowed the leak, nor is he the person who actually released the data.
Hence, the troubles the US is giving him are as illegal as they are immoral. Or vice versa.
Also, imagine what treatment by the US would get someone who leaked Soviet secrets during the Cold War. Someone who would, you know, steal Soviet property and take it to Japan or something.
No, and there is no reason to be -- this isn't a new thing. The US (and all other big countries) have been playing it like the proverbial neighborhood bully since day one of their existence. Pressure, direct threats and, when that won't work, proxy wars or direct attacks have been the standard since time immemorial.
And the small countries aren't doing it on the same scale for only one reason, that they are smaller.
Yep. I even think read about it in a book a long time ago. The title was "Foundation and Earth", I believe. It wasn't all that new or different from the best Soviet utopian sci-fi from the late 50s. I'm almost certain someone is already writing another one with the same concept and a different, silicon-based plot device -- and calling it the iThink chip.
The social organization is very similar, what is different is the means the different authors come to it.
If you've understood the message of the movie, you'd know that getting mad was part of the program. At least half of the Russian "opposition" leaders are most likely a part of the program to some extent.
Considering the slavishness of the copy, I'd say atomic destruction is in order. SBB has to destroy iOS, because it is a stolen product. They should really go thermonuclear on Apple.
Please wipe the foam from your mouth, then restate your question again. I don't really understand what you are asking about. It certainly does not address the point I am making.
No, it is comparing apples to oranges as usual. I wonder what is the adoption of JB on Google devices. For me, it is about 100%, as all my google android gadgets run JB.
what is worse is that people are buying into it once again. the submittard is talking about emerging "evidence", then links to a wall of text with 100% speculation and no shred of evidence, emerging or emerged.
He died in April 1945, patriot, and the WWII was largely settled by then. You better read up on that history, as I told you earlier. Inventing your own facts doesn't make you right, you know.
The war was setup in the treates of WWI already, and this was quite well understood by quite many people at the time. FDR used it well to the benefit of the US. Go read some history books.
Ridiculous. People did not emigrate to the US because of the brand value of the Apollo program. People emigrated to the US because the US was a rich country, which could pay much more than any other place in the world post WWII -- a circumstance that is largely due to the excellent way FDR lead the country into and out of WWII.
Yep. You could stay on topic, which is manned flight for propaganda purposes vs. meaningful space research.
The spending on Apollo -- a one-off program without a followup -- dwarfed the spending on real scientific projects and on projects with real economic effects. The program ate up 60% of the NASA budget for years. If you read up on the real economic and scientific effects of NASA projects and spinoffs, you'll see that the programs with the largest scientific effects were the studies of space (space-based observatories and solar system studies by robotic spacecraft), and the programs with the largest economic effects were the meteorological satellites.
Imagine how many more benefits could the US have received if that kind of money was not used up for a stupid political competition.
Actually, the article doesn't provide the context you're hoping for. If anything, it makes two points: that the Apollo mission was a political success and that the arguments of its critics -- a majority of the scientists at NASA, it would seem -- have been forgotten. There is nothing in the article that would give substance to the claim that the Apollo program had an economic effect that exceeded its costs.
This is what I used to use the headhunters for before I had my own network. There are a bunch of tech-oriented headhunters out there, and the few respectable among them do give you an interview regardless, and then help you work with HR departments to actually get good interviews.
web crap that has to support IE6, also has to work with IE7, and IE8, and IE9, and Firefox, and Chrome, and Safari.
Very doubtful. The only places I have heard of that still suport IE6 are legacy intranet systems, usually in banks or somesuch, where all the terminals use the same browser version, ie. the same situation you have with an obsolete COBOL system that is still working for various "business reasons".
Outside of such intranet installation scenarios, everybody and their dog have dropped IE6 support long time ago. If they haven't, they should, as I doubt it has even 1% share these days.
Well, if it wasn't I can't begin to imagine why he'd be trying to use his mad skillz to pay for his Ph.D. But you have a point, in which case there is very little I can offer in terms of advice. Maybe he can boast about his good understanding of what can go wrong with these projects...
What's the big deal? Someone I know has to support several COBOL business applications. A lot of the codebase he works with was probably written around the time he was still a youngling.
Not even close -- half of the android apps I use have released new versions in the past month that use new OS features on JB. It just so happens that I haven't seen a huge difference from it for my use cases -- which include mostly photography, various utilities that abuse the sensors of the device, and a host of tools that make organizing my life easier. Maybe I have a set of apps that does not allow the new features of JB to shine, but I don't see what the big deal is. Compared to the difference in the form factor (tablet vs. phone), the other stuff is kinda hard to notice.
Besides, this is true for most of the apps I have on the iphone/ipad (iphone4/ipad2). They look/behave about the same despite whatever new iOS features have come out and were "embraced".
I.e. from this user's perspective the situation on the iOS and Android is absolutely identical, despite the huge brouhaha about upgrades.
For me, the upgrades that have solved various hardware issues were much more important, and these have so far been rather regular.

I don't use it.

I am a right-wing shithead, and I still don't get the joke. What was funny?
Oh please what?

I say we should go all the way and travel naked and blindfolded. That ought to solve all problems.
And FDR died in 1944

At the least, it got all of the UK's key naval bases in exchange for several old boats, transforming itself into the world's biggest naval power overnight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destroyers_for_Bases_Agreement
For that, Roosevelt waited until Churchill had no other option but to beg.
There was a lot more to follow, but I'm sure you, with your patriotic sense of truth, can dig em out easily. It isn't like anybody's hiding those.
Sure, patriot.
