Next, it's highly like that the other people running Wikileaks immediately publish everything. People don't want to be martyrs, but people also have principles and integrity.
Right now Wikileaks is the focal point of the fight for internet freedoms. This fight can not be lost; it may just take a while to win. A martyr for the cause merely helps recruit further people to fight for their online rights.
The Internet is the single biggest enabler of democracy in human history. Some of us want to keep it that way.
CPU isn't a major issue for me. I do however use my phone as an mp3 player, so I want enough space for my music and also for mp3 and video podcasts - I watch TED talks as I walk to work..
Could you suggest a GSM/3G Android phone available in the UK with superior spec, including keyboard, and at least 32gb onboard storage?
That's all I'm really after:)
The Milestone 2 and Desire Z are comparable, but I'm waiting for next-gen and something a little better. There's a lot of rapid evolution in that marketplace, so never a need to rush for any specific feature.
Given the 'NOFORN' designation is a US one already negated by the relevant documents being in the hands of 'FORN's (e.g. Assange) the whole classification scheme is clearly utterly fucking irrelevant and not a suitable basis on which to determine whether to publish?
If your argument applies only to the US based media then cool, keep the US ignorant* while the rest of the world gets to read the materials that are not classified in Europe, Asia, South America or indeed, anywhere other than the US.
Just don't try to suggest that prison sentences are due for ignoring document classification schemes that have no jurisdiction, have never been agreed by the pertinent parties and are often applied only to avoid domestic embarrassment rather than due to genuine naitonal security concerns.
Just skip christmas. It's cheaper and you don't have to feel guilty at observing a religious festival intended to subvert celebration of the winter equinox.
Instead just go to a few parties and laugh at all the fuckwits panicking about which presents to buy.
The problem with Carriers this small is that they can keep up just about enough birds to protect themselves, but no more.
You are aware that this carrier projected air superiority into a war zone within range of a hostile land based airforce equipped with anti-ship missiles? Not theoretically, not a training exercise, not a third world conflict against untrained troops armed with AK47s but a very real very hot military conflict.
Not bad for a couple of small carriers supported by a bunch of aluminium fire hazards and a cruise liner.
No combat losses. Two were lost due to colliding with each other.
It also disregards that the Argies were operating at the limit of their range with no fuel to spare for air-to-air combat, but harriers were still immeasurably superior to the alternative - no air support. In fact, as you highlight, almost the perfect poster child for tactical deployment.
If at no point I have agreed to pay somebody money, and I make a copy of something that they sell to others, then I have not deprived them of money I should have paid them.
I have in fact given them all of the money I owe, as I agreed to give them none, and they still have everything that they had prior to me making a copy.
In fact, as I may use that copy to educate myself as to the quality of their item, there is a chance that I will in fact be incentivised to purchase an additional copy of that item from them, at which point they have money that previously they would not have had.
You call it theft, yet the copyright owner can never lose and I as a copier can never gain. This is indeed a fucking strange definition of theft.
So do what I did to the only one Youtube has tried on me: Instantly reload the page.
Worked, too - video appeared with no ad.
Preliminary ads on Youtube that can't be skipped is a surefire way to boost the competition. Shit, anything artistically valid is already on Vimeo anyway...
He wasn't proposing that artists should be unable to leave their earned monies to their surviving dependents.
They could, I don't know, save and invest their incomes, like those of the rest of us who don't work in an arbitrary set of industries have to do. And leave those investments to their kids.
Although yeah, I'm cool with the 100% death tax idea. It would've given me a far better start in life and wont make the slightest bit of difference to me when my parents die.
If you back out of robbing a bank before robbing it, great. If you change your mind after you've robbed it, found out the safe was empty and have the police knocking on your door, well tough shit, you're a bank robber and being a failed fuck up of one doesn't excuse you from the consequences.
If you say "Yeah, I'd love to have you fuck me unconscious", get home to his flat, find out he only has instant coffee and say "I've changed my mind" then you haven't had sex, you can walk away and if he prevents you it's rape. If you drink the coffee, go upstairs, pass out from multiple orgasms, wake up in the morning and go "How the fuck do I explain this to my boyfriend?" and change your mind, tough. It wasn't rape and changing your mind about whether it was a good idea or not does not change the fact that you gave consent before and during the sex.
Differentiate between changing your mind before and after the event. Because otherwise, every non-virgin on the planet is in danger of a rape charge..
If I'm ever accused by a woman that she was unable to consent because she was drunk then I'm immediately demanding rape counselling and the full protections of the law - including anonymity as a rape victim.
I also make sure I've had at least as much to drink as anybody I shag for the first time. And frankly, some of them.. being drunk was definitely a pre-req:(

For a start, the insurance file goes wideband.

Ignoring the current copyright terms is the moral high ground. Make copyright laws reasonable and people might consider obeying them.

It could be worse. What if you'd been living in Poland, or Greece..
I'd rather just start the meme. The comedy value is too great to ignore.
The n900 goes the other way. It's a magnificent piece of hardware with an OS that's not quite as good as Android (or probably iOS).
I don't have the hate for it that neumayr's mustering, although I don't recommend it to friends - I tell them all to go Android.
Unfortunately I'm still waiting for an Android phone that can match the hardware spec of the n900..

Ok, I'll concede on the 3yo.
I picked one up from the distribution bucket inside my place of employment this morning, in Manchester.

I like your thinking. Although, this time, could you turn up in time and not charge us for a further 60 fucking years for the privilege?

You're an evil man, taunting those poor brave pilots who went to the limit of their fuel supply, survived the superior harriers and still failed.
I'll give a tenner towards it though ;)
No carrier has been damaged or even fired on by modern supersonic antiship missiles in over 35 years of their existence
However, several Exocets flying at just under the speed of sound were launched with the intention of sinking the very carrier that's for sale.
Fortunately none of them hit.

And Wikileaks has stated in the past that if someone leaked something to them about their own organisation, they'd be obliged to publish.
Whether that's actually been put to the test is uncertain, but there are plenty of traditional media outlets that would love to find such an example..
I don't see any mention of rape accusations on there, false or otherwise.
Assange climbed in to bed with George Soros.
Call me a whore, but for $5m I'd be tempted too.
