So if spiteful people start to embed non functioning image URLs to these DRM servers in forums and other public web sites it means a lot of innocent users will be banned because they will have these sites in the their DNS cache even if they never visited them personally. Thanks Valve.

The issue is not the deportation which could be valid for all I know, but that it was carried out illegally. In a civilized country under the rule of laws there should not be any example of circumventing the law WITHOUT any consequences as was in this example. 13 years is not long ago, I doubt there have been massive changes in the legal and political system in Sweden in that time period.

If you want more examples you can take a look at the Pirate Bay trial, where the US entertainment industry basically controlled the Swedish courts to do their bidding.

Wouldn't just the prosecutor need to drop the current case and then the UK permission wouldn't be needed and then he could be extradited with out any problems? But in any case the Swedish government has shown before that they don't exactly follow the law.

Here are two Egyptian asylum-seekers that where extradited illegally from Sweden by the CIA and tortured.

The two Egyptian asylum-seekers that where grabbed on the street in Sweden and deported illegally out of the country by the CIA didn't have much protection.

Here are the details of that illegal extradition.

Well tell that to the two Egyptian asylum-seekers that where grabbed on the street and deported illegally out of the country by the CIA with the full knowledge and approval by the corrupt Swedish government.

Because the UK is not as corrupt as Sweden. They actually follow the rule of law there, but in Sweden the US could just send some agents to Sweden and he could be flown out of there on the next plane.

Really? You don't think that the US can make up some espionage or terrorist charges so that Assange can be extradited to the US from Sweden? Don't be so gullible man.

Because the Pirate Bay trial showed that the Swedish courts are easily controlled by the US entertainment industry, so just imagine how much more the US justice system can control the Swedish courts.

The Metric Conversion Act would disagree with you.

Yes and it has been shown that there are no consequences to lying to Congress if you are part of the NSA. So NSA can lie all they want and nothing happens.

Great, so I guess this standard will include the "normal", "micro" and the "mini" laptop charger, just like all other "standards".

This is intentional because they don't want people to keep on using Windows XP, therefore they add crippling code, and just throw up their hands and say it is a bug they can't fix.

>Why would Assange wiretap the Icelandic parliament and how could he? I doubt he has that powerful connections up there.

Actually he had an Icelandic person known here in Iceland as Siggi "the hacker" working for him, and he was actually implicated in a hack attempt at the parliment:

"In January 2011, Thordarson was implicated in a bizarre political scandal in which a mysterious "spy computer" laptop was found running unattended in an empty office in the parliament building. "If you did [it], don't tell me," Assange told Thordarson, according to unauthenticated chat logs provided by Thordarson."
