No, according to my Civilization tech tree poster there's still a few more prerequisite techs you need...

I don't know what you mean by lip service;

Firstly while the leaks I mentioned above might not seem significant and embarrassing to you but I would imagine that they were pretty embarrassing and problematic for those parties involved, and may be of immense interest (and use) to others, for example the leak of the Australian censorship list was infinitely more interesting and informative than the cables that have made the Australian newspapers thus far (note that the censorship list also made the Australian newspapers when they were released on wikileaks).

Certainly the recent cable leaks have received comparatively larger coverage but that's because the US has massive influence on the rest of the world, it's not like the NY Times or the South China Morning Post would put a story of Peruvian corruption as their front page, most of their readers wouldn't care. The cables that have received coverage in the Australian media, have been those relating to Australian interests (telling us what we already know (Kevin Rudd is a control freak))

Secondly, wikileaks can only leak what they've been given. I've not read of any reports that have stated that wikileaks are holding back leaks to focus on embarrassing the US, and as I shown in my earlier post it's not like they haven't leaked non-US leaks or that they are trivial.

Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding you?
PS. What's DFIP? Google brings up nothing.

2008 - Julius Baer (Swiss Bank), Scientology (US but not govenrment), BNP member list (UK) + many more.

2009 - Petrogate recordings (Peruvian Government and Business), Barcaly Bank documents (UK), Natanz Nuclear accident report (Iran), Kaupthing bank (iceland), Australian censor list (Australia) + many many more.

2010 - Loveparade 2010 Duisburg planning documents (Germany)

That's a fair bit over a short period.

indeed if I were braver I would, but the potential for being flame-modded or troll-modded was too high for me; tis' the difference between anonymous and an anonymous coward.

Poor sculptor actually, since Sanborn chopped off a letter in one of the codes to make it more aesthetically pleasing but as a result led everyone to an incorrect answer for one of the puzzles

Not true; although the PSP2000/3000 used a smaller battery you got the same amount of game time as the 1000 through some effeciencies gains with the newer hardware components.

There were also a few trivial additions as well such as inbuilt mike and I believe there was more ram that allowed for better caching of the UMD.

The way I see the PSP's refresh cycle (with the exception of the PSPGo) is more akin to the GBA > GBA SP > GBA SP (B (The B had a better internal back light)), the 2000 like the GBA SP got rid of some heft, included a few minor features and a better backlight, in turn the 3000 improved on the 2000 slightly by again including a few minor features and a better backlight. The difference between the 2000 and 3000 were minor and was marketed as such, the PSP Go was like the GBA Micro.

Doesn't JRules have a BRMS in the form of their Rule Team Server?

One of my lecturers Dr. Stephen Morgan pointed out that while certainly there was a lot of bootlegging of Western companies' products by chinese companies the amount pales in comparison to the bootlegging of chinese companies' products by other chinese companies.

In Melbourne (Australia) we can choose not to pay for Ambulance membership; In the event that we do need emergency services the Ambos won't sit back and do nothing when they find out we don't have membership, they do there job and we get a bill (that's signifigantly higher than the cost of membership).
We can also choose to take out private health insurance that would cover the cost of the Ambulance (so we don't need to pay for both ambulance membership and private health insurance).

O'Jobs: Winston, are there full bars on this phone?
Winston: No there are only 2!
O'Jobs: But if I say that 2 is 5 then do we still have reception problems?
Winston: N-No we have no reception problems!!!

I carry around a sonic screwdriver and I can assure you it works very effectively as a contraceptive

Some of us can't understand an Australian accent you insensitive clod!

Support for XP SP2 only ends July 13, 2010

Extended support for XP (mode it's in now, essentially just security fixes) for SP3 ends April 8 2014.

Windows 2000 Extended support ends July 13 2010. Christ Almighty they still patch IE 5.01 for Windows2000

You sure can't beat OS/2 for longevity! I think I'd like to beat it with a few other things though......

I played around with OS/2 4 recently and was pretty awestruck at how dated it looked. I think even windows 95 has aged more gracefully. It cracked me up when the built-in web browser wouldn't render anything. If Windows 2000 had come instead of Windows95, there would be no argument about which was superior. OS/2 sure was fast (and relatively reliable) though.
