Religious fundamentalists believe that life beings at conception. Sadly, their compassion ends at birth.

I get what's effeminate about a new beetle with a bud vase, but there's lots of cars that come off as being male. Most of them are German, of course.

By that point people had already been rendered and were already being tortured. It's well documented. There are lawsuits against EU governments for helping the US do it in progress right now.

Can you explain why the Swedish prosecutors would not come to the UK to talk to him? They didn't want to arrest him at the time, just talk. He invited them over, there is precedent for such visits, and yet they declined.

The UK court rulings were based on their decision that the danger of being grabbed by the US was minimal. You can argue that it was or it wasn't, but Assange was in an impossible situation where he believed there was a strong possibility of being rendered and yet was unable to provide evidence of it for obvious reasons. His choice was risk that or run, so he ran.

You obviously didn't look very hard. The VERY FIRST link from a google of "snowden girlfriend" turns up:

Abandoned his girlfriend, left her to fend for herself with the authorities and media, the bastard.

Cities are putting all kinds of things in the middle of benches to prevent the homeless from sleeping upon them. But free WiFi! Shiny shiny.

I just use "Fake GPS" on my Android stick and the phone I use around the house for SIP. It uses the simple gmaps interface to let you select a location. Whether you want to lie about your position or just don't have a GPS, it's fairly small and it works.

Nice heads up on Xprivacy though, I do have xposed on my actual phone, along with a grip of modules. App Settings is a peach.

Do you know anything at all about the German climate?

Why, is the interface based around a pink and lavender floral motif? Did the car whisper navigation directions to you as sweet nothings in your ear, through moustachioed lips? Perhaps it was the way the seat cushions cupped your ass cheeks.

Touch screen controls are pretty awful if they aren't massive, though. Almost everyone gets that horribly wrong. AFAICT Tesla is the only company to actually put a decently-sized display into a production car. I'd still rather have normal controls.

Audi wants people to trace letters on a touchpad now. Yowza. I consider myself to be fairly bright, and I'm pretty sure I would find that distracting even while driving a car with radar cruise control and lane detection.

Well, I've seen a little evidence of that here and there, but nothing major. What's yours?

You mean like practically every company ever, whose mantra is "we can do it better than the next guy so you should give us your money"?

Holy shit, not progress. That would be terribly forward-thinking. We must remain in the past!

Wow. I mean, when you said progress, I had no idea you meant orders of magnitude of improvement. That would be really, really terrible.

...when what they should be doing is setting them up for failure because that would be less arrogant.

Nonsense. I quit facebook for the same reason, but this is still substantively different. This was deliberate manipulation of mood solely for the purpose of study. Granted, what Facebook normally does is also horrible, maybe even moreso. After all, if the purpose is either to sell you more shit you don't need, or to manipulate political speech, either way they're being downright evil.

I think your mistake was trying to do regexes on a device that isn't designed for anything more than email and web browsing. Maybe a Surface would be more suitable?

And once you've done that, you can re-route it through the main EPS grid and send it straight to the deflector array.

This isn't an intelligence crime. Assange is accused of terrorism and actively harming US security and interests. What you are suggesting is that he takes a huge risk, and the result of losing will be rotting in gitmo forever.

LOL, okay, yeah. It's also illegal to render people from the EU to other countries, torture them, throw them in a prison camp without trial and keep them there for years. Still happened though, even with help from some European governments.

Framing him was part of their attempt to discredit Wikileaks. They did the same thing to Snowden in the early days, making all sorts of claims about his girlfriend. Considering how dodgy the case in Sweden looks it's hard to see how any rational person in Assange's position would risk going back there.
