If you just yank it, the next time you want to use it you'll have to go through "The file system on this disk may be corrupt, do you want to run CHKDSK on it" followed by several dialog boxes that need clicking.
Your idiotic "I'm going to yank it anyway" attitude just makes things worse in the long run.
OK, he's offered to be interviewed many times. How's that?
He's also offered to go to Sweden if they'll garantee he won't be extradited to the USA, they could have done that, there's no current extradition order on record.
But... we know this is a case of high-level corruption (the Interpol arrest warrant proves that beyond any doubt) so they've denied him every chance.
the fact that they insisted on having him extradited just to interrogate him, tells me that most likely they were simply acting in behalf of the USA.
Of course they are.
The Interpol arrest warrant proves conclusively that this involves corruption all the way up. The head of Interpol should have laughed them out of the building when they applied for that (Interpol getting involved in a single-person sex offense? LOL!), but nooooo.
It DIDN'T make it to court. He was questioned and released unconditionally.
Later the USA went on a fishing expedition, found that he'd been questioned about something in a country they have a nice extradition agreement with, and re-opened the case.
Remember: He's not accused of anything yet, they just want him for "questioning". All the "rape" nonsense is just what they've been feeding the press to turn the public against him. What they really want is for him to step on Swedish soil so they can grab him and take him to the USA (where his only crime so far is making people in power look bad).
It's corruption all the way up and it sucks to be him.
Assange might well be narcissistic enough to think that he's worth it, but I'm amazed that anyone else would.
Remember: He's already managed to have an Interpol arrest warrant issued for a case of "surprise sex".
Interpol getting involved in a sexual misdemeanor is a clear case of corruption at the highest levels.
(In case you don't know: Interpol isn't supposed to get involved in anything that doesn't involve organized criminals operating in multiple countries simultaneously. Their job is as a go-between among all the various police forces involved)
I don't subscribe to the "ends justify the means" theory here. Yeah, he's shown light on some scummy shit that needed being exposed. But you don't get to dodge justice and jump bail.
Nobody is above the law. Whistleblowers don't get a pass on non-whistleblowing-related shit.
Let's see how long it takes for him to be shipped from Sweden (where he might be guilty of something) to the USA, where he isn't guilty of anything except pissing off people with too much power.
Remember: Sweden had already closed the case against him and returned his passport after he voluntarily went to be interviewed. He's agreed many times to be interviewed by Sweden on neutral ground.
It was US pressure that reopened the 'case' against him and started all this crap. It's the USA that's really after him, not Sweden. Sweden is just an excuse.

More buildings and golf courses! Pesky animals just get in the way.
Actual extinction, I think you'll find.
(technically there's two left but they're both females so extinction is now guaranteed).
Maybe true, but...

It thought the yanked EHD was performing poorly.
It was correct.
Yeah, I can't wait for the day when slashdot posters can use all of Unicode for their missives. I love all those fun little graphic symbols.
Not.
(OTOH you'd think they'd be able to find/convert quote marks when they receive a message).
I remember back in the 1980s when the Commodore Amiga used to say:
"You MUST put the floppy disk back in or data loss could occur".
(or something like that)
If only modern operating systems had such technology.
I agree, the basic idea is OK.
The reality seems to be that the designers had very little experience and preferred to hack along by themselves instead of asking somebody who did.
Result: An awful lot of it is firmly in the "seemed like a good idea at the time" category.
Better not go out in the sunshine, then.
You don't really get much choice on a jellybean hosted server.
(cue all the armchair experts saying "host it yourself!" and "pay more!")
PHP is the worst language ever.
Apart from all the alternatives.

Or ... just find a girl you actually like and trust instead of a controlling bitch who's out to ruin your life.

Correct. He's only wanted for questioning at the moment.
Here's a nickel, kid. Go get yourself a proper keyboard.
Pass the popcorn, we'll see who's right.

Yep.
Simple rule: If the program is going to take more than a week to code, start in C++.
Both of these are true.
If your code is less than screen screens long, Python is OK.
Above that? Get a real language.
PS: Headline ending with a question mark? Betteridge's Law.
The entire 'Sweden' thing is fake.
The only plan is to get him on Swedish soil so they can "lend" him to the USA.
Which she did.
Anybody willing to bet against him being found "not guilty" in Sweden then shipped to the USA within two hours of landing?
Or even that there'll be any sort of trial at all in Sweden before he's shipped to the USA?

To all those who say America isn't going to extradite him from the "Sweden Trap", why are they "piling on the pressure"?
Notice the lack of a question mark in the summary? That means it wasn't a question.
A question would be: "Why Does London's Heathrow Airport Sometimes Hosts 'Ghost Flights' With No One on Them?"
People are much less safe because we wear clothes with pockets than because we have encryption.
Clothes should be higher priority than encryption but let me guess, this particular politician likes wearing clothes. Am I right?
Land of the free, and all that.
