  1. Honestly, yes. Diplomats will make whatever assessments their countries ask for. Given that politicians and governments already know that they're being assessed, I can really see a few details coming out now and then causing much of a problem.

    These documents will be an interesting read and will throw up a few headlines. Wikileaks has basically decided to keep the newspaper industry profitable for a while.

    The only real way this could upset would be if someone's been doing some nasty shit they want hidden. Nothing wrong with a little upset in that case

  2. What a small pathetic lame objection! A couple politicians getting slightly upset is really no big deal. As long as the documents are accurate there's no reason not to release them.

    US got stressed, wanted to let off steam. Other countries have done that sort of thing before, see world war 1 for instance.

    I don't mind, as long as they let me sign the form with a DNA sample.

    She's conservative so she probably has something much more horrific in mind. Usually they aim to undo the last 50-100 years of history.

    MPs are frustrating retards. It's best to ignore them.

  7. Re:Go further on National Opt-Out Day Against Virtual Strip Searches · · Score: 1

    Like anyone is going to go into court and say "I was molesting this guy and he beat me up". That really doesn't sound like a case, does it?

    I'm already banned from my doctors for similar reasons. I don't want to get banned from flying too.

  9. Go further on National Opt-Out Day Against Virtual Strip Searches · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most people have a "grab there, get hit" policy (well, less formally acknowledged than that) in their daily lives. I don't think there'd be too much fuss if people applied it to the manual search.

  10. Re:Yep. on Hulu Plus Now Available To All — But Be Warned · · Score: 1

    US only is a bit lame. They have tubes under the oceans which hulu can use in exactly the same way as they use the tubes on the land. It even takes less effort to use them as they don't have to do checks that they're only using the right tubes.

    Correction. The British government are now like the terrorists.

    Sorry guys, we tried to kick them out and we did get one scum party out of government. Unfortunately, the other colour had been away so long that everyone had forgotten that they're scum too.

  12. Re:not a contract. on Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Dude. You mentioned "contract" (a law word) in the same sentence as "dhcp" (a tech word). That automatically means a 3 year court process is needed.

    Or, is this like picking up a discarded paper on the ferry and the guy at the news stand demanding you pay him for it?

    Don't you yank peoples have an equivalent of the metro? A paper that knows what it's worth?

  18. Re:Video chat to compete with the iPhone on Details of Android 3.0, SIP, Video Chat · · Score: 1

    I would like to know if the video chat for android will actually work over 3G (or 4G) then in comparison to the iPhone only working over wifi.

    It would surprise me if it didn't. 3G was launched with video calling, it was advertised back in the day. The technology to put the feature in shouldn't be a problem.

    Having said that, someone would still need to figure out why video calling didn't take off last time and how to stop that happening again.

    Can I suggest that you rewatch the videos. Saying that the filth are trained to do that is a pretty nasty accusation.

  21. Re:Drinking session on 'Officer Bubbles' Sues YouTube Commenters Over Mockery · · Score: 1

    Another example was the guy wandering past a police line in the UK a while back, an officer rapped him on the leg for getting too close, and he got a heart attack around the corner. All he was doing was taking a shortcut home, but the officers were just doing what they were trained to do.

    If this is the incident I think it is you need to watch the video again. It clearly shows an unprovoked assault which is then ignored by the other officers present. If the officers are trained to do this then we have got a serious problem

    Not really, one industry (banking) had a minor fuck up. It's doesn't deserve the crisis response it got. We're nowhere near cutting teachers and police and I don't think we will be.

    How about, take the bank bailout money back? That would cover a lot of this funding. Then how about getting out of the stupid war the last government go into. And then we can look at the not quite so stupid war the last government go into. And then... maybe cutting parliament; everyone already tried to hang it so the public's opinion on the subject is pretty clear.

  25. Workaround? on CBC Bans Use of Creative Commons Music On Podcasts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If they cant use the CC music under a CC license, cant they just ask whoever made it for an old style license? Probably only needs to be an email asking for permission to use the music and an affirmative reply.
