Burt Rutan retired from Scaled Composites in 2011 and has had very little to do with them since.

Or why they are redefining a telecommunications word to include a restriction which is otherwise meaningless for 99% of broadband uses out there?

Oh look, the pro-Snowden moderation team is out in force....

Its not his place to decide that - he doesn't have in-depth knowledge of just what the actual relationship is with Germany at any particular time, so he can't make the determination as to whether spying on them is helpful or not.

By exposing actions which have been going on outside of the US, targetting non-US citizens, he's working against the US - hardly the actions of a patriot, is it?

Did they fix that on Apple iOS then? I had a serious ball ache of a time backing up my SMS messages separately from my system - infact, it involved digging around in the system backup, extracting a binary file, running it through a conversion process and then saving the results into a csv. This was back in 2011/12

So it certainly seems like a phone platform with "NO API for backing up sms messages" certainly did win the market.

A "sink" where they actually grew in revenue and profits is quite a feat for a company that has "basically run out of solutions"...

So basically you want there to be a conspiracy theory behind it all, so you are going to twist everything and anything you can so you see a conspiracy theory...

In 2013 there were 5 EAW's issued for sexual offences. In 2012 there were 4.

The "sheer effort" in Assanges case is purely because of his own actions - once the extradition judge approves the extradition and all appeals are dealt with, the country is obliged to extradite. If the subject of the EAW absconds, its the extraditing countries obligation to find him again. In this case, they know where he is, he is there of his own volition, and there is a standing warrant for his arrest so he will be arrested when he leaves the embassy.

You don't just give up on warrants because the subject is making things difficult or expensive. If that were possible, we would see a very interesting approach by a large number of criminals.

Why then is he revealing information on what the NSA does outside of the USA?

You realise that on all of the counts listed in the European Arrest Warrant, dual criminality was asserted and thus no UK judge found grounds to dismiss on the basis of lack of criminality in the offences listed?

See page 15 of the following PDF:

And you should also check out what the offences listed actually are, because your description is quite a way off.

The offence described as rape is as follows:

[quote]
On 17 August 2010, in the home of the injured party (SQ) in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state.

It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party's sexual integrity.
[/quote]

Offence 4, Page 3 of the above document.

The lack of a condom used also shows up in Offence 2, Page 2, for a different injured party (AA).

How about you Assange supporters actually get your facts right about what the arrest warrant actually lays out? You can harp on about "such silly charges" but its patently obvious you have never actually read the rulings against Assange, which makes it trivial to dismiss you out of hand.

In what way (I'm not a Delphi user)?

What happens when someone makes the promise they were never legally allowed to make? See the case of WASTE, where nullsoft released it under the GPL without the permission of their owners - someone made a promise they weren't legally allowed to make...

Oh yay, let's all compare a 13 year old bit of software to an unknown version of SquirrelMail (but I'm sure it won't be a comparably old version...)

A company should be allowed to have a monopoly over its own product.

Your lack of understanding about what goes on in financial institutions is disturbingly terrifying.

Tell us where they lied - the card has 4GB of memory in one bank, its logically separated out internally when used by the cards processor. But it still has 4GB of memory.
