getting into speculation, i highly doubt the AFP had any idea of a honeytrap, rather just an inkling that there were enough angry powerful people out there that dirty tricks were likely.
if Assange had known about an impending honeytrap, do you think he'd have been stupid enough to sleep around? with active feminists no less?
he got into the situation he's in because his secondary brain was overriding his primary one (the one in his head). a warning would have presumably stacked the odds in favour of that not happening.
couldn't have anything to do with him being an Australian citizen, could it?
my hope for Assange is he fade back into the shadows and learn some people skills (not the same as skills with the ladies, apparently, though by all reports he's pretty crap in bed as well). that's not to say i want him to stop with wikileaks - rather just that he grow up, keep up the good work and not try to own this amazing thing he's created.
the "information wants to be free" mantra does not discriminate. it's all or nothing, and what happens on the internet stays on the internet.
1. a person's place of residence (necessarily by zoning laws etc) is not a commercial enterprise. 2. a casino actively invites people to come in and use their machines. 3. a slot machine is covered in statements to the effect that if you press the right buttons, money will come out of it.
to expand upon your analogy, this would be like putting up flashing neon billboards outside the house saying "come in! there's so much money in here just waiting for you to take it!", leaving the doors wide open, then pressing charges when someone walks in off the street and takes your PS3.
i read a job app a few years ago for the dominant "pokie machine" developer in my state. reading the requirements was a bit of an insight into the sort of thing these people do:
- high level mathematical modelling - statistical analysis - ability to develop for a statewide networked system...the house always wins indeed. spread enough bell curves around enough machines and they'll all seem exactly within an arbitrary margin of error while overall they're heavily stacked.
exactly, considering they twist and buckle at 47 degrees in my town (true, 47 degrees C is pretty damn full-on), so i can't see it happening on Mercury.
Ritalin and parents' acceptance of it are disturbing signs. old people take pills. young people probably shouldn't need them.
i know someone who was put on SSRI's for years at a very young age because she was depressed.
why was she depressed? her father had died. instead of counseling or acceptance of the fact that people get upset about such things, she was medicated.
with enough imagination, you could justify anything you see as being enemy activity.
which is why it's the guy in the chopper's responsibility to act intelligently before pulling the trigger.
can't tell? get a little closer, or observe the context - the dark thing wasn't pointing at the chopper, and nothing had emerged from it. the pragmatist would say it could still be an RPG, but it's not in use in spite of the very noisy chopper approaching it. or they could conclude that they can't tell for sure it's a weapon, and either way does not present an immediate threat.
"Personally, I'll not get married, whenever I want to 'upgrade' to a newer model, well, I don't risk losing half my shit that way. And there are PLENTY of them out there."
actually, you do if you spend enough time with them (6 months in my country). something tells me that if you end up with a gold-digger, she'll only end up with guy stuff she doesn't want or need. not exactly much incentive to take 50%....btw, i never went to an altar. i don't need the imaginary Godfather to watch over my wife and I.
at various points in history, scientific method did not prevail.
both positions are extremes. however, based purely on experience i'd say that guys want sex more than women.
now, an ex of mine would be the exception that proves the rule (bipolar has a tendency to increase sex drive, in her case enormously), but i was more than able to keep up, and there was much rejoicing.
i've had to spend a lot of time working with clients (of the sensitive and arrogant ad-agency type, or the pretentious thinks-he's-lars-von-freaking-trier director type, so i would say my people skills are just fine.
i turned the jerkiness up or down depending on how much i like the client:)
now i'm back in an office where i can do less harm.
if those really are drunken emails, you should have no difficulty in getting this idiot fired. you could make it look like an accident... even my very chilled out workplace draws a line somewhere, and i'd say consistently drunk would be unacceptable.

wtf are you talking about?
if you have a sound card with more than a 3.5mm unbalanced stereo input, you'll have ASIO as well.
even if you don't have a decent interface, you can get well below directsound (in ANY flavour of windows) latency using ASIO4ALL.
honestly, you think most music is produced using directsound?
an ex of mine had bipolar, and would often have an attack of intense depression during the night.
if you've ever woken up at 4am to a crying girl trying to hump you, you may find evidence to the contrary of TFA.
latency has always been high in the OS and no sane person in a studio would use a built-in soundchip in place of studio gear.
for a start, where would you plug a mic or guitar?

way to go, straw man.

i hope this poor bastard wins his case.

Fortunately, this nonsense will sound completely foolish in a few short years

this should not be seen as normal.
saw it on TV? did it look shopped?

you just blew my mind
that episode where Adric dies was one of the better ones.
i'll take the latter please...
china is already outsourcing manufacturing to parts of africa.
something might say "made in china" and actually not be.
but if those lives are making drones in a factory rather than dying... they'd be much more productive.
do NOT link to that site ever again!

doesn't sound like no Net Neutrality to me!
this isn't a new technique - TFA even says it's a refinement of a technique that's been used before.
damn cool though, to get the crap from the colour subcarrier that spilled into the luma image and re-generate the original from it.
good thing those old kinescopes were in focus!
