b) Nobody except the Swedish prosecutor is sure what exactly he's accused of. The Swedish police didn't think he'd done anything, they let him go. The prosecutor only became interested int he case when she was on a fishing trip through the police computers using the search term "Julian Assange". After she found his name on a police statement she called the two girls in and persuaded them to upgrade their query to "complaint" so she could call Assange in. Both the girls later regretted doing this after they figured out what was really going on and how they'd been manipulated by the prosecutor.
c) He has hasn't been _charged_ with anything, he's wanted for an *interview*. He's offered to do the interview on numerous occasions, just not in Sweden; Because Sweden has a weird law that allows them to "lend" him to the USA.
Go back a few years and AOL and Yahoo were juggernauts. Go back before that and IBM was hot.
Sure, but... nobody wanted any of those. They were just tolerated until the real thing came along.
The migration was swift when the real thing appeared.
People seem to want Facebook. It will be very difficult to overturn that (Microsoft and Google have both failed and I'm sure Facebook can copy/buy anything that looks like a threat).
Microsoft solved this problem 15 years ago (Outlook and PSTs).
Huh?
I just had to migrate a bunch of Outlook mail for people who were moving from XP to Windows 10. "Solved" isn't a word I'd use to describe the convoluted process needed to do it.
The original has been completely ruined by Lucas with all his remakes and extra scenes.
Cutesy extra creatures _everywhere_, Han shooting second, that barf-worthy fake scene with Jabba The Hut... it completely changes the feel. And it's awful.
According to the Snowdon leaks, they're tapped into just about everything. They've also probably gotten into Intel chips to weaken the RNG, etc. (https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2013/09/surreptitiously.html)
They've got the budget to waste time/resources. You only have to crack a communications system once, after that you can read ALL the messages with no manpower needed.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but there's just too much evidence to think they aren't doing anything they can possibly do to set up a spying network. What do they use it for? I dunno, but it's definitely there.
If the NSA controls the chain of cryptographic certificates (eg. Verisign) then they don't need to crack anything. Nothing can be authenticated. They can simply impersonate people and perform man-in-the-middle attacks. Most of the world's encryption is wide open to them.
Do they control that certification chain? You can be pretty sure they do. It's such an obvious target.

Is that the the same "traumatized victim" who threw a party the very same day to present her cool new boyfriend to all her friends?
Got it.
a) Now he had an STD....? That's news.

... assuming people always drive on the same side of the road)
Well, yes... only if we assume that.
The British Government officially adopted the "short" billion in 1976 for all government statistical reporting. So that battle is long over.
So the two countries that clung to feet/pints/bushels/furlongs the longest have decided to agree.
And have both agreed to something the rest of the world doesn't recognize.
Fail.

In a rational world[*] people who openly advocate blatant contempt of the Constitution would never be able to find a job in Government ever again.
What happened to freedom of speech? He can say whatever he wants to.
The majority of Americans believe that Satan is a living, breathing beaing who walks around the place, so... this is way down the list of priorities.
Going to be lots of false positives on this one.
Doesn't matter.
It's a bit like blood-group matching. It can't prove you're the guilty person, but it negative match can certainly prove you aren't.
They did make rear projection CRTs
And most older video projectors used CRTs. Many could project way bigger than 100".

I wonder how many extensions and themes will be broken/unusable after this update...
How about where they added an "Ow!" where the stormtrooper bangs his head on the door?
Ha!
LOL leave it to the "pirates" to get their video editors out and give the people what they actually want. Oh, yeah, they're the criminals.
What ruined Star Wars for me can be described with one word: Ewoks ...
Agree 100%. Ewoks is where I stopped watching.
And "Ewoks" is basically what Lucas added to the original to ruin it.
Not actual Ewoks but "Ewok" look and feel.
Barf.

Take all those out and it's still quite good.
Nobody wants to be seen as a sheep farmer in the USA. They're all too macho for that.
And humans aren't carnivores, they're omnivores. No human needs to eat meat every single day. It causes health problems if you do.
Once a week or so seems about right, biologically speaking.
"Other predators" don't have knowledge, education or communication.
And not many of them are cutting down the rainforests to make more space for their herds of food.

....and in which "stuff" do you use it to communicate with other people?
Call me when Microsoft adds provably secure messaging to Windows by default (ie. no man-in-the-middle attack possible).
When that happens I'll believe the USA has relaxed its position on encryption.
Until then? It's all just hot air and political posturing.

What makes it impossible for the country that has achieved most of the nuclear breakthroughs to achieve the next one?
A spineless government who'd rather spend the money on political wars?
(because it's easy to sell wars to the nation of paranoids they've created over the last few decades)
