The question was whether a limo is considered part of the embassy so that Assange could get into it and still be protected.

At least according our State Department, the answer would be yes.

I'm pretty sure the limos are not considered part of the embassy.

The State Department says otherwise (in certain situations). According to their own document:

Diplomatic Agents. Diplomatic agents enjoy the highest degree of privileges and immunities. They enjoy complete personal inviolability, which means that they may not be handcuffed (except in extraordinary circumstances), arrested, or detained; and neither their property (including vehicles) nor residences may be entered or searched. (emphasis mine)

This comes straight from their paper, Diplomatic and Consular Immunity: Guidance for Law Enforcement and Judicial Authorities found at this link.

You can't forbid people to share information with other people

Except it's not sharing, is it? Sharing implies that one party is giving something they have to another person for a period of time at which point that something is returned.

No such process exists when people torrent movies or songs. The person who initiates the process by first making the item available does not have the right to give it away in the first place, and the people who then get their copy have on intention of every returning the product once they are done with it, let alone pay for it.

You can use all the semantics you want, trot out how piracy doesn't hurt sales and every other excuse imaginable, but the plain, unequivocal fact is you are not paying for a product that someone else produced, you have no intention of paying for the product and you think it is perfectly acceptable to not pay for something that someone else produced because somehow, magically, people don't need to get paid for what they produce.

I know what you mean. I get frustrated with all the drug dealers, thieves, tire slashers and whatnot in my area so rather than follow the law, I just go out and shoot them rather than lose my right not to be attacked or harassed when I go outside.

Same thing with my big, colorful billboard which says, "There is no God. Stop believing in myths!" which keeps getting torn down or burned. Rather than follow the law and get the police to do something, I just shoot those who try to damage it rather than lose my right to express an opinion.

Making it "not searchable" doesn't stop that. Shooting the people who are making it does.

Just a minor correction.

Except for the ones that use Oracle.

Oracle sucks as well. It's just a different kind of suck. Sort of like the difference between a Geo Metro and a Ford Taurus. They both suck, just in different ways. (Did I get the car analogy right?)

Liar! Everyone knows that if you give software away for free you don't need money.

That's why you don't have to pay for movies, songs or programs any more. You just go to Pirate Bay and get them for free.

You must be living in a fantasy world if you think money is needed to make software.

Had you paid attention, Leslie Winkle has already told you where to put the electrode:

Leslie: You stick electrodes in a rat's brain, give him an orgasm button, he'll push that thing until he starves to death.

Leonard: Well, who wouldn't?

Leslie: Well, the only difference between us and the rat is that you can't stick an electrode in our hypothalamus. That's where you come in.

You have to remember, half the population have two digit IQs

So now we're using IQ points as a measure of how smart someone is? I thought IQ tests and their results weren't a true measure of ones intelligence.

Either IQ tests and their results are a true measure of ones intelligence or they're not. You can't have it both ways.

while at the same time providing a much richer and usable environment for the other 90%+ users.

Right there is the problem. What the fuck does a "much richer" environment have to do with getting at what you want from a web page? How many times do I have to go to sites and wait while some shitty Flash video shoves itself down my throat or have to try and navigate through what should be simple dropdown menus, only to find that each site implements the menu differently?

Stop trying to give people a "richer environment" and let them get at the information they need. One shouldn't have to jump through hoops just to get a contact address/email/phone number or a white paper which might give you a clue as to why the company's software horfs all over Windows 7 but worked perfectly in XP.

People don't want a "richer environment" when surfing the web. They want to get on with their lives without having to guess which browser to use, or what plugin they might need or have to guess where things are. Stop trying to show off the latest and greatest, whiz bang web shit because you think it's cool and edgy.

KISS. That's all you need to know.

Don't powersauce bars work like an energy drink and contain six different types of apples?

I've personally saved two women's lives who were going to step out into traffic

In doing so, you thwarted natural selection and those women will most likely pass on their genes to the next generation who will be just as oblivious as they were, thus perpetuating the corruption of the gene pool.

Or was it more you didn't want to be splattered with their guts as they were run over by the cars?

Failed IT projects are hard to miss, though. A few are probably inevitable but if failures are typical, that should be a red flag to the IT manager's superiors.

Considering 68% of all IT projects fail, it would be difficult, using solely whether the project succeeds or fails, to determine whether the person at the top is competent or not.

For reference: The study

I'm the guy who gets to clean up the mess left by geeks and nerds who try to show off using the latest and greatest technology but which doesn't allow people to get their work done.

It gets very tiresome hearing, "It's new and cutting edge! It's great!" then asking them, "But people can't get their work done."

"Yeah, so? It's cutting edge!"
