"Then we can unleash wild-assed wars the world wide as everyone turns paranoid because they have no clue what each other is doing."
My guess is that there is only a small percentage of the worlds population are paranoid enough to be afraid of things they dont know about.
Seriously, afraid of things they dont know about, read it again, think about it...
If leaders act on such irrational traits as paranoia then intelligence isnt useful anyway, then will just dream up a threat (perhaps like Saddam WMD's that where an imminent threat).
He is bravely and selflessly putting his life and liberty on the line, he is standing up for the rest of us, these leaks assist democracies around the world to hold their government accountable and serve as a warning not to misbehave in future.
If the worst thing you think of him is that he is a hypocrite, then i suggest you should still support him and his work, lest you demand perfection from everybody.
"Speaking of idiots, Assange thinks everything should be open but information that he deems private should be kept out of the public record." - Anonymous Coward
If Assange thinks everything should be open, why isnt he (or wikileaks) releasing all the information, why are they redacting there information to protect individuals.
Its ironic that you post as AC while criticizing him, you are an obvious propaganda victim.
Complicated is the word you use when you try and explain something to a skeptic (or a different type of stupid person), there is no point going into detail because they wont believe you (or anyone else) anyway.
You act like you havent read any of the stories because you are asking so many stupid questions that everyone knows the answers to, yet you are saying you've read up on it.
You say you havent made up your mind, but you question every defense of Assange, you dodnt even allow him the innocent until proven guilty right (he must go to trial because he might be guilty).
Clear you have made up your mind.
Youve made over 20 posts on the issue, its ok if people disagree with you, let it be.
No, my posts do not indicate that I have made up my mind, or that I have not read any stories. Please, if you think my posts do indicate those things, point out where. You can't, because you are imagining things.
You stated above "I have read the stories. Yet again you accuse me of being uninformed, and call me a dipwad."
Cool; so when someone close to you dies they wont mind if I come along and urinate on their body before the funeral? Given what you just wrote you wont object to that right?
It's about the living; and respect; doofus.
Its disrespectful to urinate on someones fence, their car tyre, whatever, its disrespectful not because of the action, but because of the reasoning behind it.
Yes, Urinating on a corpse is disrespectful to the dead as there is no good reason to do it, but harvesting organs of the dead is about respecting the living.
The living are more important than the dead; doofus
They have stated that they will fix the T-Hub and the T-Box is fine.
The T-Box has notification that it uses GPL'ed software, provides a link to the GPL License, but they dont think to provide a link to the source, so i dont see how they are in compliance with the GPL with the T-Box.
There also might be issues with the T-Box in regard to "scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable" as the firmware is encrypted.
Does anyone know the accepted interpretation of that part of the GPLv2.0 as it relates to firmware, should they be obligated to provide keys to decrypt the firmware so the GPL'ed binaries can be "installed", or is that wishfull thinking on my behalf ?
This guy is typical of the modern generation of programmers who think software should be made for _people_ to read !
Pity the dude trying to write a compiler to interpret his (or worse, my) pictures...
Software is primarily made for computers to read, it is the job of a programmer to translate real world problems into the machine world.
Damn idiot money men think that using high level languages so idiots can write software is going to lead somewhere other than lots of idiotic software...
Easy fix, Have a fourth big red button that confirms one of the other three big red button push.
With this safety mechanism, they wouldnt have to worry about accidentally pushing a big red button, they could press them all the time for drills, playing pranks on foreign visitors etc.

How is honesty damaging to the work of reformers in Zimbabwe ?

Get off the green !
1. Sell CPU.
2. Break it remotely.
3. Goto step 1.
You could always watch Star Trek Voyager re-runs instead.
STOP PRESS: The lives of people who live in the middle of a war zone are at risk !!!
Of course its only fair to blame wikileaks and their words, all the people with guns and just there to _protect_ them, right ?

I also accuse you of being a troll.
Spun, you claim you havent made your mind up, and to have read the stories...
Your posts in this forum indicate otherwise, do some research and stop being a troll.
"some of us would rather hold to account those who abuse even the broken laws we have."
Its unethical to obey an unethical law.
4. US citizens are more likely to expose corrupt and un-ethical practices.
YOUR suggestion that wikileaks is anti-US smacks of the type of political manipulation that those cited on wikileaks would use.
Its a strawman attack, right ?
If governments where more transparent then democracy and international diplomacy would work better.
It could even prevent wars.

My property goes to my heirs at my death. My body is my property. Stealing bits of my body is stealing from my heirs.
If you dont declare your body in your will then you heirs have no moral right to claim it..
Some of the software included on the firmware is GPLv2 (or later), so perhaps GPLv3 could be applied to unlock the firmware ?
They have stated that they will fix the T-Hub and the T-Box is fine.

61% of Americans believe Aliens live amongst us.
"we believe integrated will trump fragmented every time."
Translates to
we believe monopolies will trump competition every time.
"I guess we need to kill them first then."
Or just expose them to the public (via some anonymous website maybe) and let mob rule decide their fate.
Dont know about Duke Nuken Forever, but it took about 7 or 8 years for them to release Team Fortress 2.
TF2 has succeeded because it was released when it ready, and has been extremely well maintained.
Its an example of why gamers should manage gaming companies.

So would you say Ghandi was not an extremist, or normal ?
