First and foremost, don't expect ANY help from the "security" companies like Symantec and the like, SOLVING this problem would mean the end to their extortion business.
And, don't expect ANY help from the "white hats" in general, all they can do is walk in circles pontificating about how it would be unethical to hack these networks and bring them down.
So really, the only solution is the possibility of someone with "black hat" skilz that wants to be paid to take the system down outside the "law".
I don't see how it could happen other than if South Korea invades North Korea or the North Korean government collapses. Is that what South Korea is really talking about when saying they want to "unite"?
Yes.
The South will wait patiently until the current regime dies. At that point there is indeed MUCH potential for an absorption of the North by the South. You have to understand that *MOST* North Koreans *WANT* to move to the South, become a part of the outside world.
The arrest warrant also mentioned a molestation charge, but molestation -- which is not limited to child victims in Sweden -- is not a crime punishable by jail time. Rosander told TV4 Assange is still under investigation for molestation.
Remember Hans Reiser? As I recall, many here initially said there was no way he did it. But he did. The Wikileaks dude is ***STILL*** under investigation for "molestation", they just don't need to pick him up for it yet. Just because he has POLITICS that you agree with does not mean he isn't a sex creep.
Assange's opponents don't have all that much credibility left
My friend, your assessment is based on your personal associations with people that think like you, and your reading list of like-minded web sites and publications.
But, guess what? The sad fact is that there are MANY people who *DO* support "the war" and do not think as you do. Many more than you realize. There is a *significant* number of Americans and non-Americans that are completely "on-board" and consider this WikiLeaks dude a sociopathic danger to freedom and apple pie.
By *assuming* the majority believe as you do, you provide a dangerous weakness. Over-confidence often leads to catastrophic failure.
You're an idealist, but be warned: Not everyone is. Not everyone cares. Not everyone believes as you do, and in fact you are in the minority.
The German ID card is using the BAC protocol as well, but only for the basic data which is printed on the front of the card, the picture and the name. Other fields are protected by a stronger proprietary protocol.
That's what they think. It'll be cracked within days or weeks.
the thing is, most ADs make you a fat fucker, (the atypical AD) wellbutrin stops your appetite, i mean if you still eat you dont magically loose weight ofc.
I think you must be thinking of amphetamines.
Welbutrin is often perscribed to quit smoking (ZyBan for example was specifically marketed for this purpose). I took it while giving up the Death Sticks, didn't effect my appetite at all. In fact after kicking the tobacco habit and while still on Welbutrin, I gained weight.
Well, that could have been because I replaced ciggies with malt liquor...
Any kid under the age of 10" doesn't scratch wallpaper off the wall until their fingers are bloody, for example. Or spend an hour or two bouncing in circles and shouting "La-DEE la-DEE la-DEE" at the top of their voice.
Man, you never met that kid's mother! If you had to live with that bitch, you'd be walking in circles too. Seriously.
The judges were asked to grade each wine out of 20 points. No specific grading framework was given, leaving the judges free to grade according to their own criteria.
While they were "double blind", note that there was not specifically defined criteria for grading.
Like ADHD, "Autism" is *HIGHLY* over diagnosed, it's very much big money these days, both for pill companies as well as "therapists". NOTE: I didn't say these "conditions" where fake, I said over diagnosed for the purpose of money.
What is with the Americans? PATRIOT, revocation of habeus corpus, free speech zones, a prison population 5-10 times that of *any* other western nation... even 2257? Is this really what the average American wants? Surely the Yank public is not this stupid? They do elect their politicians, don't they?
Yeah, well... Umm... At least we have the most violent video games available without much real restrictions... Most Americans don't know how to say "habeus corpus", let alone what it means... But *BY GOD* we have Grand Theft Auto with fucking HOOKERS and MACHINE GUNS...
What is with the Australians? This is just the latest in a long line of this sort of shit. Is this really what the average Australian wants? Surely the Assie public is not this stupid? They do elect their politicians, don't they?
Their specialty in all cases seems to be how to phrase the headlines as misleadingly as possible (and pause videos in the most compromising and misleading frames possible for use as pictures) to attract people to read the articles which are usually much less interesting than the headlines would have one think...
Performance is going to be an important differentiator in browsers, for how well they are able to run web apps
Well, that knocks Firefox out of the running. Slow as a snail, memory hog... I gave up FF for Chrome / Safari (WebKit) many moons ago. Until they get a handle on memory management and the speed of their JS engine, I'll not return.
The imagery near my house was very out of date until recently
The age of the pics on Google have *NOTHING* to do with the private sat companies that can and do take pictures of your area at least once a week or more. Google doesn't pay for the most up-to-date pics, that doesn't mean they do not exist. *IF* I wanted to pay several thousend $ I could buy *VERY* up-to-date pics of YOUR property.

As far as I know Hans Reiser didn't have powerful enemies.
And this has what to do with the possibility of the guy being a sex creep?
Look, all this nonsense about "powers" ginning up these charges *HAVE NOT BEN PROVEN* and in fact there is ZERO evidence of that.
Two girls said something happened. That's what we know.
The arrest warrant also mentioned a molestation charge, but molestation -- which is not limited to child victims in Sweden -- is not a crime punishable by jail time. Rosander told TV4 Assange is still under investigation for molestation.

There is a choice, don't vote for the major parties...
Here in the USA, voting outside the Democratic Party by liberals bought George W. Bush four more years.

Maybe, but those rural areas create the food that the cities need to house ... their populations.
Only if you live in a house built out of cow shit...

Soliciting implies trying to convince people to send them documents or offering something in return. Which they do not do.
No, it's exactly what they did.
Wikileaks received a large number of documents, what did they do? they released most of them to the public with some redaction.
Let's be honest: Wikileaks SOLICITED classified documents.
(I was the victim in that case, someone slashed the top of my car [ Geo Metro convertible ])...
Your insurence company "totaled" it, as the replacement cost of the soft-top was more than the value of the car, right?
I assume they used the Samuel Johnson dictionary, which is the *ONLY* concise compendium of the English Language...
