What's wrong with releasing your code under public domain anonymously (be sure to comb every file with a fine comb though before doing so)?

Even if he's a dictator, he ain't that stupid. Just remember that he is a western-trained ophtalmologist by profession, before he got reluctantly sucked into his current position. If I were in the position of some IT staff there, I would have politely informed him that his password isn't secure and needs to be changed, and I'm sure he would have appreciated that... and would have replaced it with 54321.

As someone with -1 diopters on the right eye and nearly -7 on the left eye, I also lack stereopsis. However, I do have the feeling that I see the world in 3D, just like parent poster said. It is certainly enough to drive safely for example. Of course, all this 3D-stuff on TV is useless to me, since I only have sharp far vision on the right eye (with glasses).

I mean, seriously... should you ever come across such an HDD with classified, secret or even top secret data on it, what are you supposed to do? You can't even send it back, because you will be charged for having had a glimpse at classified information, right? But if you simply reformatted the drive, or destroyed it, you may have nuked important information that may not have been backed up. Pretty hairy stuff.

Each MP3 is simply one (huge) number.

Let's take FreeBSD as an example. FreeBSD and GPL code coexisted a long time just fine, that is until FSF switched gcc to GPLv3. At this point, FreeBSD was stuck with the last gcc and binutils published under GPLv2, and they had no choice but to start looking elsewhere for a replacement (currently transitioning towards clang/llvm). In this case, licensing a central piece of OSS infrastructure exclusively under GPLv3 was quite hostile to non-GPL OSS (!) projects that depends on it and was clearly not nice. On the other hand, enforcing GPL(v3) on closed-source vendors like Sony who never played nice with the OSS world is a perfectly acceptable policy, IMHO. And I'm saying this even though I am a strong advocate of BSD-license licensing: you GPL folks have no reason to bow to those who don't reciprocate in some sense... but you could show more flexibility towards OSS projects by dual-licensing under GPLv2 and GPLv3.

That's right. They've won their war by turning this formerly free country into a state of fear and paranoia, where people are being indoctrinated and taught by the State to fear their own shadows and to constantly look over their shoulders. If at all, this FBI flyer is material proof of the terrorists' success, and that's a shame.

In this particular case, this ambassador may not have acted out of malice (she's just one little cog in a giant machine and couldn't have prevented it anyway), but the government that ordered her to sign it certainly intended to harm Internet. There's no doubt about this. After all, ACTA has been negotiated for a long time, and those responsible in the governments knew full well all the objections that have been brought against it. So Hanlon wasn't right here: ACTA was born out of malice, not out of stupidity.

The should go to jail, not for the silly point of facilitating copyright infringement, but to publicly make a point. Somewhat like Gandhi, who submitted to beatings by the British on his own will, showing the public the whole blatant injustice of their behavior... and finally winning the PR war. That's exactly the same TPB guys should be doing, instead of hiding in some jungle out there and looking like criminals on the run. Besides, living conditions in jails in Sweden and in most other northern European countries aren't as bad as in the US or other third world countries: it shouldn't be too inconveniencing for them... and they could spend the time to study. Really, they should go to jail, instead of hiding... and being forced to go there anyway later.

It's way too expensive for WikiLeaks to do this alone. However, there's already a satellite in orbit, and it's called the moon. HAM operators have been bouncing RF waves off the moon for ages now, and that was with old technology. Imagine what you could do with current tech!
