I would have rated you funny. Honestly, you don't have to reach out from some grand governmental conspiracy to explain what is going on.
Assange was staying at one woman's house, banged her, then while still using her place as home base, goes out and bangs some other fan-girl. Fan-girl unwittingly contacts the woman who Assange was staying with trying to get in touch with him. The feminist hostess puts two and two together, gets pissed and decides to extract her pound of flesh for revenge. Takes it to the police to see if they can force him to take an STD test. Then it hits the media and all hell breaks loose. Now everyone is scrambling to try to save face. It gets picked up by a prosecutor attempting to make a name for himself in feminist circles and to continues to snowball. Now the only way to save face is if someone at minimum gets legally slapped on the wrist for bad behavior. For Assange & his supporters it is far easier to blame some grand governmental conspiracy than to deal with the accusations being leveled at him.
You don't need some grand governmental conspiracy to explain what is going on. A better explanation is that everyone here is acting in their own self interest, except for the poor fan-girl who got unwittingly drug into this mess.
All of this and the US government didn't have to lift a finger. They have done the best thing possible, which is to sit back, do nothing, break out the popcorn, let people hang themselves and enjoy.
How is he going to do that when Julian has fled his bail? Isn't Julian technically in another country right now since he is holed up in the embassy? Honestly, I think Julian has painted himself into a very small corner.
He saw it in a movie.
Because I don't want to spend all day tweaking my distro everytime I upgrade to a new one. I grab an all-in-one complete distro that works out of the box (at this point it is Mint Linux). And I am done. I honestly don't want to spend all day reconfiguring every aspect of it. I am to the point where I am going to start skipping the 6 month revisions and stick with the Long Term Support versions. And I will more than happily skip over any version that is reported to be buggy or poorly designed. I want something that just works.
^Modded funny but that is the first thing I thought of. My data center is noisy as hell and would be a shitty place to sleep. Why don't they just throw up a few walls just outside the datacenter and throw in some traditional bunk beds?
My company's marketing department also asked all of the employees to facebook 'like' the company & post comments about the company. There were not any managers pushing this down on the employees. I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. My rule is to not discuss my company on the internet that is in any what that is identifiable to my company or myself. Once you cross the line of mixing work with your personal life you are walking into a mine field. The best case scenario is that no one cares that you did it. The worst case scenario is that people start looking at your personal internet life and find something objectionable that you have said, or some strangers on the internet decide they don't like what you said and try to get you fired from your company, or you make some off hand comment about a coworker, company or work situation that lands you in hot water. It just isn't worth it.
Ahhhh, now I understand the whole Koney 2012 campaign. I didn't think he was a hero at first.
Not all corporate computer training sucks. Not all of them are power point flip throughs.
The kind I consider the most effective are the ones where everyone has a computer in front of them and go through step by step exercises with sufficient time allowed for people to actually complete the provided task. They also provide a class book that shows the exercise step by step so that when they are done with the class, they can take the book and repeat the exercises back at their desk.
Even from a support position, I saw value in attending some of those classes just so I would know what the users have been taught and are reasonably expected to know.
The rich are more likely to cheat, steal, and even disobey traffic laws than those with less money and power
Disobeying traffic laws is a no brainer. They can better afford the ticket and insurance rate hikes.
Cheating & stealing? They can afford better legal representation so are less likely to be punished if they do get caught.
and may be the first end-to-end record of a full Anonymous attack.
They act as if tracking Anonymous is any difficultly at all. The group is highly transparent. Finding them and following them on specific issues or OPS is not difficult at all. All you need is an strong interest in the subject matter, plenty of time on your hands, and a huge bucket of popcorn.
The abuse scandal was a pattern of abuse and cover-up that exploded into the media spotlight in the late 80s/early 90s. The Church did wrong, but since then, they've done a lot of right
It depends on which country. Check in with Ireland. There is at least one other African country that I can think of off the top of my head that still has issues. They only do a lot right when the media pressure and legal battles becomes too high to just sweep it under the rug.
They have set up webpages before that starts to DDOS servers. All you have to do is trick people to click on the link. Honestly, I think that was one of their more creative ideas.
You need two because if you use one of your disposable devices, then you no longer have a working breathalyzer in your car.
I suspect the officers are going to use their own. Otherwise there would be a huge market for shitty breathalysers that significantly underestimate your BAC.
