My first reaction was: how many stupid slashdoters would label Assange as egomaniac, rapist and criminal based on totaly misleading informations in summary, how many slashdoters would rather side with opressive practices of U.S. (and other) governments instead of Assange and wikileaks, which are trying to fight it?

The answer is predictably and unfortunately: quite a lot.

The statue is already build, they are raising money for transportation. Maybe you should get your facts right before posting misleading opinions.

I usually go to kickass.to for the mainstream stuff or to karagarga.net for rare/artistic pieces (unfortunately karagarga is private tracker and it's very hard to get invitation).

Wrong, we can have system which ensures money for creators without intelectual property. We can for example replace the current copyright law (which ensures that you pay for something because you can't copy it) with mandatory monthly payments (you crowdpay creative works you like, you can choose what to support but you have to spent something based on your income/wealth etc.) and the resulting works could be in public domain available to everyone.

Net neutrality doesn't mean that ISPs can't use QoS to mark and prioritize real-time traffic like VoIP, IPTV etc. over http. They can do it but they must not discriminate between different VOIP/streaming providers. For example net-neutral ISP cannot prioritize its own streaming service and throttle competition like Netflix.

As technology and automation advances, there will be more and more job oportunities. The problem is, those jobs will require very high specialization and qualification which only few percent of population can reach. Not anybody can be rocket engineer,microchip designer etc.

I agree with you that wealth redistribution (in the form of welfare, basic unconditional income etc.) is the right solution.

Just because your server doesn't take advantage of hotpluging doesn't mean that other people don't use it on their servers. There is plenty of scenarios where hotpluging is useful for servers, please don't force your server usage pattern on everyone else. I for one welcome the changes which systemd brings even for the servers.

He could force facebook to change it's stupid real-name policy?

I disagree that using shell CGI scripts should be considered security hole any more than using CGI scripts written in any other language, but if you want other examples of exploiting this bug you can do it via malicious DHCP responses processed by dhcpclient or by env. variables passed when loging in via SSH.

Your CGI script doesn't need to do anything at all. The rogue code injected into the env. variables is parsed and executed by bash when it sets-up the environment for your script.

It should be marked offtopic, same as my and your post (too bad i don't have any mod points)

This is not true. Any sane methodology used to compare wages excludes over time hours (which are paid separately, at least in EU). See for example the Methodology paragraph on this site, which describes how they do it in UK.

I think you missunderstand the meaning of the word 'accept'. From merriam-webster dictionary:

I think that it is clear that to 'accept' something as payment you don't need to hold it afterwars. You are free to convert it to something else or use it in any other way you see fit. To give you some example, few people would argue that steam, google play or blizzard online store is not accepting euros because they convert it to dollars after the purchase.

Yes, we do accept payments in foreign currency if we are running international bussiness.

Accepting bitcoins doesn't mean that you stop taking other forms of payments so this is no valid downside for merchant who start to accept bitcoins in addition to existing forms of payments.
