True if it's some random guy. But it's quite unsettling if you are threatened by multiple people in an organized way. Even if no real threat exists, it can be damaging psychologically.
Among other revealations during this ordeal, one thing stands out - I now know how morally bankrupt main stream media have become, irrespective of how right or wrong assange is.
Guardian won awards for all the work done by wikileaks/manning, and now they just backstabbed them, and still have guts to defend their own actions.
NYT is even worse.
Whisleblowing investigative journalism is dead, sold out to big governments and corporations.
If you look in the mirror, your arsehole would look like it has steve jobs' dick in yours arsehole. does that mean anything to you other than you being Apple's bitch?
So wait - Motoroal who invented something which is integral part of a mobile phone should not ask for any return on that from Apple and Apple should use such core technology for free, but Apple can charge anybody for rectangles and others should bend over and pay them???
And also, Apple's lawyers do all this without Apple's wish?
Taco has been driving this old Jeep Wrangler for quite a while with bunch of other drivers, having built most of the engine and shit themselves - he is kind of the chief mechanic. It's not the fastest vehicle out there, but it keeps going, be it snow, thunderstorm or sunshine, while the shiny new toy cars appear and disappear on the internet highway.
Now he is dropping out after taking the car from nowhere to somewhere and is saying "See you, bitches!!".
Right on! Recently, I completely ran out of really good sci-fi, after trying some of the most popular ones I had not yet read (and got mostly disappointed). So I turned to Hogo nominations of past few years (and other not too popular nukes of the internet to look for something different to read).
I ended up adding about 10-12 Kindle samples and also ordered about 4-5 books not available in e format.
Finished "Old Man's War" (John Scalzi) last week. Also, just finished The Bug by Ellen Ulmann : ISBN 1400032350).
I am set for next two months of sampling/reading some good sci-fi after a long time.

FTFY
FTFY.

Then you were thinking wrong.
>> "Restart" (if necessary)
"If necessary"? way to downplay it. It IS necessary, but not on windows or Linux. Deal with it, they are facts.
But but don't you know? PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DIE!!!
(ignore... Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING. - I know).

It's nice of you to try, but you cannnot alter the basic nature of being Apple's bitch. Bonch, kendall, node 3 = jobs' bitches

You would love to read "The Cuckoo's Egg" by Cliff Stoll. A lengthy but very interesting read.

ah.. here comes Steve Jobs' bitches, in droves.
And then comes serial downmodding. Slashdot hivemind in overdrive? Not surprising.
Mod me down, bitches, I have karma to burn.
What? I was asked something, I gave the answer, and the reply was "yeah.. but you would have... if ... ", and I am troll?
This summarizes everything I have against Apple fanbois*. Thank you :)

Point proven.
Like Openness, for one? I agree.
er... does www count?
High bar?? As a salesman, yes. As an innovator, no. And no, few patents on squares and rectangles is NOT innovation.
>> They don't have aspirations of becoming the standard image editing app?
OMG!! THEY DON'T HAVE ASPIRATIONS!!
Yep, that's how Firefox, Thunderbid, Apache and all other Free/open/FOSS tools were conceived - let's become Photoshop, IE, Outlook and ISS.
Right. Because GIMP's only goal is to be usable to Photoshop users and make them stop using Photoshop.
Not!
Dongle?? But that would spoil the looks of such a beautiful toy!!
Seriously though, after paying shitload of money, you still have to buy dongles and addons for basic functionalities?? Fuck that.
Oops.. I guess it's the latter.
