TFA says that he burned it to a CD, so if the CD came from stock purchased by his employer than it is technically correct to say he stole the code.

I think a good question might be "Why are non-technical "hiring managers" hiring for technical positions?

There is some question about the "consentual" part.

But clearly a "scorned woman" is involved.

There is absolutely no proof of this wild allegation.

Most likely, it is simply a case of two jilted women who are pissed off that Assange slept with both of them in the style of a rock star.

This bullshit about "CIA connections" with the ladies is paranoia and really unrelated to reality. It's tinfoil hat bullshit.

Folks, women get pissed of about shit like this *ALL THE TIME*, the difference in this case is the *target* is famous.

It's kind of like when I walked into a biker bar and said loudly "Well fuck me raw!", and seconds later some neanderthal in a leather jacket bent me over a pool table and gave me a serious ass pounding like I had never had before.

Something like that.

Sure. When a pollster calls, of course that's what they say. Is it the REALITY? Probably not

Except in the Bible Belt, church antecedence is the lowest ever.

Seriously, 42 percent? Get real.

What people tell a pollster (because they think they should) is often completely diffiernt than what the actually practice.

Most Americans do not really believe in religion, and only identify with Christianity because they think they should, and the certainly are not Muslims.

The truth is that while many people are vaguely âoespiritualâ, most people no longer attend church regularly if at all, and only a small percentage of so-called âoeChristiansâ in this country can tell you anything at all about the Bible, old or new.

There are people who bleat about this being a âoeChristian Nationâ, but statistically, factually, it isnâ(TM)t so. I donâ(TM)t think it can even be proven that we are a âoecertainly not a Muslim nationâ, either.

We are mostly agnostic.

There are in fact a number of cases of "dirty cops" in jail and also collecting their pension.

Speaking of The Woz, I kind of wish he would install his office web cam again... One wonders if he took it down because it caught him surfing porn one too many times...

Yes, indeed.

The story also states:

What I don't understand is why a massive and technically complex piece of malware necessarily has to be written by a "nation-state"? There are no really smart hackers around that might want to do something like this for the challenge? One might think that a smart hacker might want to point the smoking gun in a different direction?

Explain, please.

All you have to do is objectivly think about it:

If it was not desiged in by Microsemi/Actel, than it must have been added by the folks in China .

That's not too hard, is it?

Weather is not really a factor for most serious grillers. Having spent a few years living in the Cascade Mountains in Washington state, I've grilled outdoors with several feet of snow on the ground. And rain? This is the Pacific Northwest, if you don't want to grill in the rain, you might as well hang it up.

As for "geeky" grilling tools, long before high-tech met the BBQ grill, I was using one of these to temp my meat. Other than that all you need is tongs...

There is no âoeshortageâ of women in IT since in fact there is no quota nor any particular class of IT job that specifically requires women, and so likewise IT is not âoehurtingâ for women.

Now, perhaps it can be said that few women want to go into IT, or perhaps there actually is a bias against women in IT, but this âoeshortageâ and âoehurtingâ bullshit is hyperbole.

Unless Iâ(TM)ve just been unaware of the all-nude Swedish lesbian IT shopsâ¦
