I would agree wholeheartedly, but no one will be able to read this comment as I had years of good karma wrecked by making only one constructive but non-groupthink comment, so this post now won't get enough points to appear on anyone's screen to begin with.
The moderation system here is now an exercise in removal of people voices that don't adhere to strict orthodoxy.
More than ten years? I have had to do recovery from code stored on paper tape and Hollerith cards. I am sure that recovery of stuff 40+ years old is not all that uncommon actually.
I assume everyone here will assume hes innocent just because he is their favorite superhero.
Sure they went all out using this as an excuse to issue an Interpol warrant when they likely wouldn't have for some lower profile shmuck, but I don't know why people find it so hard to believe he might have sexually coerced two women. He's a vain, self-absorbed megalomaniac with a messiah complex who seems to think the world revolves around him.
My karma went from excellent that was built up for years to nothing due to people using orthodoxy points (you know, the things that started as mod points before it became fashionable to enforce groupthink through censorship) to silence me earlier today. For, of all things, simply pointing out he seems only to target the US lately.
This is my attempt to see if my karma can go negative before I leave the hivemind that/. has become. Mod away.
they say they have more to release than they can and so will have to choose what is most important. for more than a year they have only chosen to release thing targeted at the US, nothing else
they have done this at the expense of refusing to reveal and even pulling previously revealed information about anything or anyone else.
i am not a big fan of the US gov't or what they do. however, no matter what the target, if Assange shows us they only exist to grind a single axe with one single entity - whether that entity be the USA, kazoo manufacturers, Wherethefuckistan, or someones ex-girlfriend - if they lose perspective and balance then they lose a lot of the reason we support them.
I don't see how anyone could mistake the difference between an open documents whistleblower site, and one hijacked by one individual restricting information released to just that which attacks just one specific entity for personal reasons. I don't care if the country he picked was Wherethefuckistan, or just a company he didn't like, or his ex-girlfriend.
first, who cares what he had focused on - the US or something else. The wikileaks went from an open org to make information free and turned into one guy trying to hurt one entity. totally different things.
second, there ARE juicy leaks about other countries, they just won't put them up anymore. talk about information being free and uncensored. assange is bullshit, and after he gets assassinated maybe wikileaks will become a decent leaks group again
I would like to see those leaks too. I see a distinct difference between a leaks site and a political hack. I would bet we don't see all anyway - with his obvious bias, he won't publish a lot of leaks he doesn't want out. How much did he redact from this?
But isn't he currently a rape suspect? As well as being a fugitive, and engaging in flight to avoid prosecution?
All of these things are true, and all your fond hopes and wishes that it was all trumped up to stop him are just that - you don;t know if they are true or not. you just want it to be a conspiracy so you can continue to worship the guy regardless of fact.
They pulled all corporate and other countries leaks.
Now they are simply an anti-US organization. They lost all claim to moral superiority or credibility at that point. Its simply a politically motivated espionage group now with an axe to grind against one country. Treat them like it. When he disappears, or accidentally falls down an elevator shaft on to a pile of bullets, no one will cry.
Wikileaks doesn't out anything anymore, unless its US intelligence.
Haven't you noticed they pulled all private corporate leaks and European and other countries leaks? It's not a generic leaks site anymore or I would still support it. They are solely an anti-US espionage org now.
They lost any credibility, and any respect, at that point. I say hang him.
Depends on the climate entirely.
Here the summers are brutal and the winters severe. which one is contained is pretty much up to which one we want to be exposed to. (i.e. winter it is nice to have the heat NOT just dumped outside.)
Curtains and thought to the existing doors/partitions help with that seasonal flexibility a lot.
I agree, but I must add that teaching logic and rational behavior to most humans is an instant fail. It's just not the way they are wired for some reason, and Darwin seems to be napping as they are rapidly outnumbering those of us that do value reason.
I'm skeptical that normals can be taught the difference between edible and non-edible items, much less higher reasoning.
Good luck teaching them higher reasoning skills, logic, situational awareness or even, say, acting in their own best interest - all prerequisites bedore even beginning to install a healthy dose of skepticism...
that state unequivocally that COS is a cult. Members were or are even banned from emigration into the UK. It is not recognized legally there as a religion.
Operation Clambake has a just a few of them here; http://www.xenu.net/archive/judge_quotes.html
This should be more than enough fodder to fight the matter on if CPS even decides to press it to test.
I'd say 128mb would still run, for the average user, about about 16 spyware apps, 3 trojans, 2 worms, 4 backdoors, 5 adware apps, at least one SMS spambot, oh, and don't forget the LOLcat screensaver.
One camp (Clinton) is already trying unfortunately.
Turns out, one of the contract companies who had one of the involved employees (and by definition was therefore on the payroll of that company) just happens to have a CEO that is an Obama campaign supporter. Thus, The Clinton camp is trying to desperately distort it into "someone associated with the Obama campaign "paid" the guy who snooped."
Turns out, the CEO of the OTHER contract company who had the remaining two employees that were involved in this happens to be a Clinton campaign supporter, a fact I guess they felt it more convenient not to mention. Oh well. politics as usual.
Blue wavelengths also have the nasty side effect of destroying night vision almost instantly, fooling the pupils to contract - likely for the very same reason it fools the rest of the body into thinking its daylight too.
Not a desirable or safe side effect when making something specifically intended to be used for driving in the dark. It's why the military uses red lights in their vehicle cabins and cockpits.
In this case, 2.6B sounds like a real bargain. People point out the actual INCOME from the election systems segment is very small, which is true, but that is not the companies primary VALUE. They are two different things.
You aren't just buying a business here, you are buying election outcomes, and that is clearly worth far more than just the raw income numbers or market share points alone indicate.
You could come up with new ways, of course, but why rock the boat. Just go with the tried and true way of handling these things in American corporate culture; Mandate all employees must stay away from buses.
To accomplish this is quite simple:
1. Create new management positions and dept. to determine and create new compliance metrics for appropriate bus avoidance.
2. Create committee to determine and define best practices for avoiding buses.
3. Hire PR firm to create awareness of above policies and create slick training videos to introduce employees to anti-bus methodology.
4. Create HR sub-department in charge of enforcement and compliance to metrics with appropriate disciplinary board and/or retraining.

Then lowered and have some 19" alloys and a sound system put on it.

Where did all the other leaks, private and government go then? Why did they pull even the old ones from their archives? Justify that.
don't censor it with mod points just because you don't want to accept it. That wasn't a troll.

As 4Chan would say; DIAF.

I would like to know how this sort of thing works within the boundaries of ethics rules. Sanctions? Disbarment?
Anyone have knowledge to input?

Some nice music and some entertainment to distract me, say a nice game of checkers or a rerun of 'The Lion King'....
Maybe if it was designed to go out and draw some fire, it would be both useful and entertaining!
