Your link includes much speculation,and very little in the way of facts.
Presumably because all the facts are in sealed envelopes.
It also includes outdated information
They don't update it every single day just for you? That hardly makes the rest of it invalid. There's plenty of links/citations to the relevant documents. It's pretty clear that Sweden has an agreement where they can send Julian Assange to the USA for 'questioning' on any pretext the USA cares to invent. Once in the USA, all bets are off.
YOU DON"T HAVE THE RIGHT TO NOT BE OFFENDED, IF WE LET THIS GO ON WE ARE OPENING TO DOOR TO MORE NONSENSE.
Yes you do. It's an actual defined legal right.
Nope, you're thinking of harassment.
You have a right not to be harassed by somebody (repeated personal offensiveness, directed at you). You don't have a right to live in a land of unicorns and pixies where nobody ever says anything you don't like.
Yes, but this goes both ways. If an employee finds sexually orientated office banter offensive then you have to absolutely snip(sic) it in the bud
OTOH having meetings to establish a policy before anything actually happens is a bit of an insult to the people already working there. You're basically saying you think they're idiots.
Give them a chance... maybe nothing will happen.
If something happens, act immediately to nip it in the bud.
"Can we stop pretending that what he is accused of isn't rape"
That's a bit of an insult to all the women who have definitely been raped, beaten, and dumped in an alleyway. And didn't throw parties next day to celebrate. Or tweet about how cool their rapist was. And certainly didn't get international police hunts organized to find/extradite their rapists.
The last thing I read, Julian Assange was accused of "Surprise Sex", punishable by a 750 Euro fine. Maybe the girl's stories have got more elaborate since then. Why wouldn't they? With no evidence it's just his word against theirs.
considering Wine has been trying to achieve that for many MANY years I think the answer to that is yes.
I think Wine has been trying to emulate it using OpenGL as middleware.
If there was proper driver support (ie. cutting OpenGL out of the middle) it ought to be possible technically but it would need a lot of work, plus help from people who don't want to annoy Microsoft.
Use it to the extreme and lay people get confused to the point of giving up reading the article altogether
I don't think you're giving enough credit to 'lay people'. Everybody knows how to use google these days. The sort of people who read technical articles aren't the sort to be put off by a bit of jargon.
You could even add a sidebar or footnotes to define terms if you think it's necessary.
How do you think that hotel safe gets reset after you leave? I'm pretty sure that they don't have a guy walk around guessing 4-digit codes on the hotel safes...
I'm guessing not everybody's childish enough to lock the safe before they leave the room. If they do, the next guest will call reception and they'll send up the guy with the iPhone.
Obviously that person meant the chain lock that's separate from the key card lock. I hope not just the deadbolt; the ones built in to hotel key card lock mechanisms can be opened by the master key card. Not the ones the housekeepers carry but the one the chief maintenance guy keeps in his office. One assumes this hack can open the bolt as well as the regular latch.
We had a problem with a hotel safe once. When the tech guy came he popped the plastic keypad off to expose a serial port then hooked up his iPhone to it and opened the door. I wonder how secure that is...
"...who should be scolded for not disclosing the hack to Onity before going public"
a) As if they don't already know what the hack is. b) If the only solution is to change all the locks, maybe on their own dime, do you think disclosure will make them volunteer to do it?

There's a big difference between kidnapping very public people in developed countries and making it all seem legal.
There's people in Guantanamo accused of the heinous crime of wearing the wrong sort of watch.
Decades of torture for...wearing a cheap Casio watch? Not just one or two people, either. Dozens of them.

It's what normal, mature human beings do - they handle the situation themselves instead of crying fucking mental rape.
What if there's a complete idiot doing it, somebody who just doesn't know when to stop?
At some point the rest of the team has to step in and say "enough". It's what normal, mature human beings do.
Chimps, too, BTW. When one chimp in a group crosses the line with his bullying the others often stand up for the victim.
Yeah, the USA always plays by the rules ... and there's been nothing corrupt about the process so far.
It would almost certainly be easier to extradite him from the UK than from Sweden.
Nope.
There's nothing to represent. Assanage has lost his case, and all appeals. He is to be deported.
He can represent him in Sweden and represent him against the USA when they try to grab him once he sets foot on Swedish soil.
Yes there is. He can try to stop the USA from grabbing him if he goes to Sweden...

If he is afraid of extradition to the US, he would have a much better chance in Sweden then the UK.
Nope.
It's actually much easier for the US to get him if he's in Sweden: http://justice4assange.com/US-Extradition.html
In Sweden all they need is a flimsy excuse and they can 'borrow' him for questioning. Want to bet if they'll give him back or not...?
"Assange is accused of rape"
No he isn't.
Not everybody ends up in hospital.
Doctors can go to the embassy, yes.
Is he charged with rape?
You've been watching too much Fox News...
I see no duplicity in what he's doing:
* Pinochet was bad for humanity.
* The people trying to extradite Julian Assange are bad for humanity.
In both those cases he's fighting against the bad people.
Most of the games on Steam will be DirectX, not OpenGL.

Does it preview the web page in another pane as you type?
Politics not science decides questions like this. You get what you vote for, serves you right.
The two candidates presented for me to choose between were both weasels.
Can't we drink it? If we put it in bottles labelled "Pure Greenland Melt Water" and subsidize the price it'll all be gone in no time.
