Assange himself masterminded these girls reporting the rapes. It doesn't seem like that bad of an idea if you can later have the girls recant their story, and then claim they were coerced by CIA agents or something... how do you expect the US to prove that the girls weren't coerced by CIA agents?
In this version of the story, Assange comes out way ahead and the US government not so much. Just keep an open mind...
I have a Rubik's Cube that is very pretty, so when I leave it around people like to play with it and be clumsy and drop it on accident, causing pieces to explode off of it and need to be put back on it. If I'm around I can fix it fairly fast, but if I'm not around then people just put them on in random places and call it good...
Long story short, this makes it harder to solve and turns it into an added puzzle, but it doesn't make it impossible. The solver just needs to use some actual thinking instead of algorithms to solve it now.
Note to all readers who are looking for comments about UFOs on this story:
Scroll down. And I mean WAAAY down, because half of the fucking comments are arguments about religion that have NOTHING to do with this story, regardless of a Churchill one-liner. Seriously, 50% of the comments below are stupid side-bars about religion.
We lost a pair of SNE2000 SDSL ethernet extenders (bridges that use a plain dry copper twisted pair, in our case for several thousand feet between two buildings) when the geomagnetic storm first hit. The devices at both ends failed (DSP chip burnout) exactly simultaneously.
Doubt it! In whose relativistic frame of reference did they occur simultaneously? I hope you don't say "the middle of the cable" because that doesn't take into account the rotation of the earth...
It's strange that, even though their methodology was ridiculously flawed, they still gathered reasonably accurate results.
Bittorrent isn't illegal, but does anyone honestly believe that at least 75% of all torrents or torrent traffic isn't accounted for by copyrighted material illegally being mass-distributed?
That reminds me of listening to one soldier talk about Afghanistan when he was back between tours. Forgive me for not looking it up or remembering specific details, but he said some weapons are such a caliber and shoot so fast that you cannot use them against humans. So, they are ordered to "shoot the vehicles" or other enemy equipment which means everything around the target ends up sprayed.
That's a myth, and lots of service members believe and perpetuate it. There are various versions of the myth, such as not being allowed to shoot helpless combat parachuters while they are falling, but instead you are "allowed to shoot at the equipment they are wearing". Some even believe and perpetuate that using a.50 caliber machine gun against personnel is unlawful. In reality, you can use whatever weapons you have at your disposal to eliminate the enemy as long as you are working towards a military end, as opposed to trying to inflict a life-long malicious wound for no reason.
The shockwave of a.50 caliber round going through the air being enough to rip skin open or rip a person apart is also a common myth. A large, supersonic bullet traveling through the air doesn't have that big of an effect on the air passing by it.
Are you sure? What if the boundaries are "150 trillion light years" away, and we are behind a cosmological horizon we can never reach due to expansion? In that case, we would never see these boundaries between an all matter half of the universe and an all antimatter half of the universe.
I'm hijacking this portion of the thread in order to say you should check out The Oil Drum, where a lot of subject-matter experts discuss the progress of fixing the BOP and other BOP-related issues.
This is definitely a plug for this site, and I'm sure there will be others along shortly who agree the above site is wholly worthwhile.
Somebody please explain the ultraviolet catastrophe to me. What is the underlying reason for the old model providing incorrect predictions? I am very science-minded but cannot understand this. The wikipedia page could not help much.
The entire equipment load-out for Iraq and Afghanistan? The security procedures at GITMO? Just off the top of my head. If you think releasing such information is helping in the just fight against the wars or semi-secret prisons, you are deluded. There's nothing just about releasing that sort of information. It is not much of a jump from there to consider releasing upcoming convoy routes so that insurgents can emplace IEDs against them. I do not trust WikiLeaks to say "this awesome classified information is harmful to people's lives, so we won't release it."
Flashcards aren't that great for me. The way I learn is by writing characters down on a piece of paper while thinking deeply about the pronunciation. Everybody learns in a slightly different way, a fact that I think is a little unusual.

Nah, it's like the "halting problem"... you don't know that they won't recant later.
This wasn't a serious suggestion, because none of us here have any of the facts (cue Reiser, etc.). It's just something to think about is all.
How about this?

And he didn't release any of this information... I think that is the OP's point.
It took six months to find Saddam Hussein, hiding in a hole in the ground where he did not want to be found.

Definitely one of the more put-together sites on the web. It sounds cliche, but I'd have to say that everything's possible at Zombo.com.

For that matter, when did Chuck Norris become Chuck Norris?
Wow, your jaw must be sore from asking such a stupid question.

This is not off-topic. Mod parent up, he even included the wiki link for those who don't know about kudzu.

I like facing my partner while sleeping, but then it's hard to move your legs or arms comfortably. We need rock-em sock-em robots or something.

You should watch the movie. I haven't, but I heard it's a very realistic scenario. I wouldn't steer you wrong on this.

Just kidding... I modded you offtopic on accident
