The article opens with the question, "What the hell happened to WikiLeaks?" then argues that "Once an inspiring effort at transparency, WikiLeaks now seems more driven by personal grudges and reckless releases of information..."
This is the same government that gave money to the same ISPs to improve their existing infrastructure that took the money and are forcing people to wireless internet instead. Yeah, I can't see how this can go wrong.
Today I noticed that KB3035583 popped back up in my list of optional updates for Win 7. Doesn't matter that I've told it to stop showing me that one 4 TIMES already, Micor$oft keeps pushing it down my throat. That's why I keep looking up the KB numbers at independent sites before I install them.
Micro$oft stop pushing and nagging about the upgrade around July 29th? Yeah, but in what YEAR? I bet they stop pushing it once they start pushing for us to upgrade to Win 11. I think my next computer OS is going to be *nix once I can't get Win 7. By then the ability to run Windows software should be a lot more stable.
What you are describing is original research and has been against policy since even before 2006. Wikipedia wants to reflect the mainstream press and most reliable sources. It makes no claims to represent a "truth" beyond that. If something is wrong in the mainstream press, fix it there.
The problem is that more and more the mainstream press is using Wikipedia for it's fact checking, resulting in a doom spiral for truth.
How can they be "getting out of the way"? There are only two choices, a) stick with Shell and snub Greenpeace, or b) dump Shell and please Greenpeace. There is no middle ground where they can please both.
If black holes grow by the absorbing the quantum foam, then the universe is slowly gaining mass as new matter is spontaneously being generated but not getting a chance to vanish back to where it came from. This means that eventually the cosmic expansion will halt and be reversed. This universe could end not in heat death but a big crunch. We may have the final answer in the ultimate fate of the universe if this theory is correct.
Software vendors make money selling their software. But you can't sell somebody the same version of the OS that they already have, unless you are Apple, then you just move the OS version up by 1/10th and the iFanboys will buy it. Windows 7 came about because XP had nearly reached the saturation point. Windows 8 because 7 isn't giving people a reason to leave XP. The big problem is we really hit the level of maximum usability in your UI and now you have to make changes for the sake of making it different, so they rip out the functionality and claim it's "improving the experience".
No thanks, I'll stick with what I have for as long as I can and hope that sanity returns when I eventually have no choice and have to update because of hardware issues.
Just wait until the nuns get a hold of it. They will force it to be right handed if they have to break all the universe's rulers over their knuckles to make it so!
So, because they did something ethically wrong and against the law it's OK to do the same to them? I thought we had gotten beyond the whole "eye for an eye" thing.

Totally secure, unless some government three letter acronym agency demands it and tells us to keep it quiet. Yep, totally secure.
until the first hailstorm. Then you're out a boatload of money.
And with current air travel availability, we're no longer measles-free anymore. That was fast.
So, you're saying they turned into Anonymous?

My son and I watched the live webcast and cheered ourselves horse when it landed. What a beautiful sight.
Because we all know that our counter-terrorism actions have been so effective against ISIS up to now.
It won't stay low-income long. Speculators will snap it up in a heart beat and jack the prices up. Nice try, George, but you Jar-Jar'ed it.

I wonder what the over/under is on how long before the new ebay creates yet another version of PayPal?
"Have fun stormin' da castle." "Think it'll work?" "It would take a miracle."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Hey, after you get bombed, you can get bombed!
Figures that the only time Teller talks, it's to sue a guy....
Every web browser as auto spell-check capabilities these days.
Am I the only one who finds irony of the use of "as" in this sentence instead of "has"?

I'll go "All In".
SpaceX to the rescue! It would be a big boost for them if the Falcon 9 and Dragon could pick up the slack.
Karma is a real bitch sometimes.
Is it wrong that I'm amused to see this?
Yes, yes it is.
