When every major news organization has its own secure drop box...
With the knowledge we now have about the level and expertise of the NSA / CIA et al to access most so-called "secure drop boxes", why would any sane person use such a "drop box"?
Honeypot or not, the FBI will be all over this. The fact is, sites like this and Wikileaks are no longer useful for this sort of thing. Snowden took it to the next level.
the smaller "players" don't have the cash-ola that "Dot Com" has to pay lawyers to keep the authorities at bay, so it's not surprising that the "little people" are taking the heat and folding. Why is "Dot Com" not paying the lawyer fees for the people he employed to do his dirty work?
Mr "Dot Com" might be in the "right" here, but he's still a douche bag.
These people will be collecting Social Security long before any rocket to Mars happens, and if not, NASA or the governments that fund the project, will choose professional astronauts.
Really, it's a "fun" thought, but simply not realistic.
Thus doing what little they can to help finance Castro's regime. Good job!
Perhaps I have fewer problems with Castro than the unrealistic and venomous wing-nut expats in Miami (where I lived for a few years before the hurricane took out Homestead AFB...).
If you want to keep living in the 1960's or the "Cold War", not much anyone can do. But many people have moved on and are looking for actual real solutions that lead to peace and normal relations.
$60,000 is $28 US an hour salary. Here in Australia thats what we pay kids shifting boxes in supermarkets.
You can not make that kind of comparison without taking into account something called "cost of living". There are many civilized places where my wages are very nice indeed in comparison with the locals, but guess what? The cost of living is different.
Why do you think so many Americans retire to Costa Rica or other similar places? Because for the SAME level of "quality of life", it is less expensive.
But given the right-wing politics and level of personal freedom in Australia, I wouldn't live there if I were a Millionaire.
Within a year or two (or maybe sooner), the price of a cuban cigar in the US will drop like a rock. I have friends who bring them in from Europe all the time.
Now... What's all this about cuban software? They have computers?
Carrying a gun doesn't meet that definition. There have been a number of possies that formed in modern Dallas where long guns were open-carried, without issue. All were in response to poor police response in poor areas.
Did they try walking into a federal facility with open carry guns? Probably not.
Folks, it's simply not legal regardless of if the Feds own the building or lease it. That's why at stand-alone US postal facilities there is a sign that informs you that firearms on the premises are prohibited.
This isn't an argument about the pros and cons of open carry and whatever amendment the gun nuts are in love with, it's simply a statement of fact.
Actually, most Post Offices are owned by private individuals and leased back to the Government for use. As such, the building itself is legally exempt of the Federal Building restrictions and regarded much the same as any other private establishment. There have in fact been court cases regarding this, especially those regarding people getting injured at the property and the actual owners being liable rather than the USPS, establishing precedent. Brandishing a firearm in a threatening manner in a public location or threatening a federal employee is another matter, and carries with it quite severe penalties though.
Almost complete bullshit.
While most US post ofices are in leased buildings, they are still federal facilities.
Please, as an experiment, "open carry" a shotgun into a post office, and tell me how that works out for you?
I wonder if Apple will pitch a fit about the fact that the design of the device is definatly based on the iPhone's visual form. I'm sure there are a zillion "industrial design" patents and copyrights involved...

Nice classic FUD, but you know very well that your speculation simply is not supported by any reasonable facts, and in fact quite the opposite.
Assenge did some amazing things, but is also a seriously flawed man with a long history of both mysogony and God-complex.
Honeypot or not, the FBI will be all over this. The fact is, sites like this and Wikileaks are no longer useful for this sort of thing. Snowden took it to the next level.
The FBI will be visiting in 3... 2... 1...
Amazon's drone delivery service was never going to work...
Amazon's "drone delivery" was never a serious project, other than for PR to keep Amazon in the headlines.

I was looking hard for a Dice link, but couldn't find it. What's up with that? There's got to be a Dice angle, right?
Again, "Dot Com" is not poor, and infact has been involved in significant money producing ventures since then.
But thanks for being a stooge.
His assets have been seized, he only gets enough from the authorities to cover his living expenses and his own legal fees.
Sure. And he hasn't been engaged in any money producing business since then. Right.
the smaller "players" don't have the cash-ola that "Dot Com" has to pay lawyers to keep the authorities at bay, so it's not surprising that the "little people" are taking the heat and folding. Why is "Dot Com" not paying the lawyer fees for the people he employed to do his dirty work?

You cannot demonstrate that; you can only conjecture it.
You can not fuck yourself unless your penis is long enough.

The Yamamomo didn't want to be found, and being found destroyed their world.
Cuba is 90 miles from Miami. Many Cubans have relatives in the US. You don't think they have English speakers?
by the looks of it no, none of their relatives in the states seem to know it
A racist ill-informed comment made by an idiot.
Sure, but India had two things going for it that Cuba doesn't: they speak English...

I'm sure that at the high levels, computers are quite good. Lower down, we are probably talking 486 or even 386.
Interesting comments. I'm basing supply on "serious cigar" guys I know who bring a few back from Europe on military jets now and then.
Thus doing what little they can to help finance Castro's regime. Good job!

Why not just say it out loud? Call center...
Not a bad way to get the average Cuban into the 21st Century.
It worked for India, first call centers, now they OWN the US development market.
We will start seeing an influx of Cubans up here in Washington State on the Microsoft campas as soon as they can swing the politics...

I can think of one scenario: he was on probation for some other capital offense...
A "capital offense" is one that is punishable by the death penalty. I really don't think he would be on "probation" for a capital offense.
