Comment Re:Not restrained by law? (Score 1) 306

Instead of extradition, wouldn't it be better to have agreements in place with other countries where the criminal is tried by their own legal system? That would be less biased because it removes any motivation based on retaliation/revenge and more fair because it doesn't have the requirement that everyone has to know the laws of all countries (obviously only if they were outside of the country with the grievance).

Extradition, mostly for computer crimes, is based on the somewhat dumb theory that if something happens to an American computer, the perpetrator was "in" the USA for legal purposes, even if he or she has never actually visited the USA and has nothing to do with the country.

Funny how the NSA doesn't hold themselves to the same standard when they infiltrate systems outside of the USA.

Inkscape doesn't handle animation, but it is quite a good piece of software. I like it more than the commercial stuff that is out there. That said, you can always design in Inkscape and pull your SVGs into something else for animation. I primarily work with 3D engines and modeling, so I haven't had the need.

I'm not really impressed by these sale prices since I can usually find deals that are just as good any other day of the year. A couple of weeks ago I bought a 32" 1080p HDTV, which I am using as a monitor, for $130. I don't see any deals that good in these ads.
