The latest five pictures will be totally useless for me because a lot of my friends tag a picture with my name if they think I would interested in it rather than because its a picture of me!
Its a bit like my plan for world domination. I'll start by taking over the UK, then Europe, then the rest of the world. I just need a little help with the details....
When HTML5 becomes a standard, then maybe Microsoft (and Apple) can say they support it; per the editor of the HTML5 draft specs, Ian Hickson, expect HTML5 to be a W3C recommended standard in 2022.
At least Flash and Silverlight are available on a majority of platforms today...
Flash yes, silverlight no. Moonlight doesn't run most silverlight sites.
Of course, all of those are US Law, which certainly applies (and should) to the US Citizen (military employee) who illegally copied the information and disseminated it. Those laws of course *do not* apply to non-US Citizens who receive said information.
Now, whether they might be guilty under some "receiving stolen goods" type of international law might be arguable, but Assange/Wikileaks did not, technically, break any US laws.
Try telling that to the yanks. Non US citizens been extradited for breaking US law though they were British citizens living in Britain omitting an offence against a British company based in London.
Hmmmm.... Having said that, i think everyone i know who has Apple computers are women (almost entirely notebooks). But i do know one man who owns an iPhone.
Yes, lets forget about laws and giving sentences that are in line with the crime. No matter how you want to spin it, spamming clearly isn't as big crime as rape, violence or killing someone.
Yes but it might be 1/500,000 as bad - justifying the same sentence.
One morning Julian Assange will awaken to see an unmanned drone hovering outside his bedroom window. It will fire a small but deadly missile through his window, ending his miserable little life. And I will smile...
In the US, punching someone in the face with your fist is generally a misdemeanor. In Canada it's assault(lvl1 or higher depending on the circumstances) and a criminal charge(the same as a felony).
Russia is willing to assassinate people quite openly just to set an example. Julian Assange is relatively safe from the US, because if the US wants to kill him, they'll want to do it either legally or secretly. Russia has very few of such qualms.
Of course now the Russians have given the Americans (and everyone else) the perfect opportunity to remove the "little problem" AND make Russia look bad too. I would not like to be Assange's shoes because I am pretty sure that if someone does hit him it will be in such a way that nobody is completely sure who did it.
Your just pointing out why your not creative enough to think of an operate such a scheme. Its very easy to move and collect money anonymously without getting caught, I won't go into specifics but it can be done via nominee structures.
I can vouch for that. Uncle Osama knows what he's talking about on these matters. By the way hows the cave Ossie?
At last we can remove our dependency on oil, which means investing in Mozzie loony countries that pass profits terrorists....... with an energy source controlled by Mozzie loony countries that will pass the profits to terrorists.
Sometime around 1975 I decided I wasn't going to play with low-powered computers anymore. I went looking for a job on a Cray or one of the big Control Data supercomputers.
I never got the job, but I did get the compute power; it's in my pocket.
Since he is suing the manufacturer in China to stop making the figurine, and not just stop distribution in the USA, I believe that this will be under Chinese law.
We are talking about Right of Publicity, which don't have to be registered. It appears that in the USA it is decided at a state level.
To date, twenty-eight states are on record as recognizing the Right of Publicity. Indiana is believed to have the most far-reaching Right of Publicity statutes in the world, providing recognition of the right for 100 years after death, and protecting not only the usual "name, image and likeness," but also signature, photograph, gestures, distinctive appearances, and mannerisms.

Isn't Windows XP licensed for netbooks at around $40? I doubt you will see much of a price decrease.
There could be other factors like reduced need for local storage, (maybe) running better on a lower spec. processor and with less memory.
Yes because putting a Java JIT engine in a browser is easy; putting a Dalvik JIT engine in a browser is impossible!
Why? Its the same basic concept, all you need is something to run dalvic bytecode and render the output in an on-screen area.
Or was the likely convergence prediction premature?

HTML4 of course.

A faggot is a bundle of sticks---I don't understand why these people think it's an epithet for gay people. You're doing it wrong!
Don't you mean homosexuals. Surely Gay are bright happy spirited people....
Hmmmm.... Having said that, i think everyone i know who has Apple computers are women (almost entirely notebooks). But i do know one man who owns an iPhone.
He must be gay
Apologies for stereotyping... but you must be American...
Civilized countries arrest someone, then try him. People are not guilty until proven guilty... and you certainly won't get shot until proven guilty.
I would say " ... and you certainly won't get shot deliberately until proven guilty. People certainly have been shot before being proven guilty.

Is that you Prince Andrew?
In Ireland it is a traditional friendly greeting.

Couldn't we do this in the US deserts?
The Mojave, the Sonoran?
I can imagine the Native Americans feeling a sense of deja vu. There's gold in those Indian lands.....

Delay all email deliveries for one hour. What could possibly go wrong?
Then the discovery of the scam would be delayed by the hour and the "golden hour" would just be delayed.
whoosh....

I keep getting spam emails promising me that
Maybe Sarah Palin and the tea Party could buy it to launch a strike against any country giving Julian Assange safe harbour
This is serious. I mean everyone knows that using the Apple game centre is tantamount to an admission of being gay.

Seems very likely the US Gov't, through one of it's shadowy connections, hired and paid for this DDoS attack. Interesting trend. I wonder what's next.
Why do they need shadowy connections? Surely they can decent broadband.
/. is in trouble now for leaking the US's inability to conduct a succesful DDoS campaign.
No - posting on slashdot is the US's DDoS campaign. Go on can you resist going to wikileaks to check it for yourself?
