1. Assange was in Sweden when initially accused, voluntarily submitted himself to police and was told after interview by prosecutors that no charges would be filed, case closed and he could leave the country. So he returns to UK.

Gross distortion of the chronology. The rape investigation was re-opened on September 1, 2010, promptly after the complaint's lawyer requested a review of the prosecutor's decision to close it. Then on September 27 Assange skipped out of Sweden.

2. Swedish prosecutor Nye decides, for no sufficiently plausible and adequate reasons given, to re-open the closed case, accusing Assange of having fled the country (false) and attempts to get an International Arrest Warrant.

Again, a gross distortion of the facts. You don't know what arguments were presented to convince the Prosecution Development Centre to override the prosecutor's decision to close the case, but you do know that they were sufficient. Assange did in fact fee Sweden on September 27.

I suppose the rest of your screen is about as accurate as your first two lies.

Both bigdogs, RedHat and Canonical have mostly dropped support for home users.

Nonsense, or at least half nonsense. Redhat doesn't care about home users, true, but Canonical certainly does, and is currently the choice of roughly 27% of Linux desktop users. There are a few diehard Fedora desktop users out there, but straight up Debian (on which Ubuntu is based) is a far more popular choice.
