Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
On Assange: I am not sure, but I have been under the impression that Wikileaks hacks into other people's accounts. To me that's not journalism. To me, if a journalist breaks into somebody's office and photographs files then reports on what is in those files they broke the law by breaking into somebody's office to steal information. And that's what somebody is doing when someone breaks into an electronic account of any kind. People that break into other people's electronic accounts are the worst and the book should be thrown at them when they are caught.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I'm with CID here. Maybe a slap on the wrist but he doesn't deserve the book thrown at him.
Now if he sexually assaulted those Swedes, that's a separate matter.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I dunno. To me people who hack other people's electronic accounts should pretty much be drawn and quartered when they are caught. Those people are the worst. Disgusting.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Assange is a nihilist. He improves nothing, destroys everything. I agree with you about Snowden and Manning, but Assange is a worthless piece of shyt who deserves the worst.CID1990 wrote:In the grand hierarchy of douchebags involved in this whole fiasco, I consider Assange to be the least onerousIvytalk wrote: Have to agree to disagree here. I agree that espionage is a stretch, but the little fvcker shouldn’t be allowed to skate. Nail him for hacking, and let his cell mate Bubba do his worst.
Remember - the Assanges of the world have zero juice without the actual traitors- the Snowdens, the Mannings, the gov workers and staffers who leak classified to the NYT, etc etc
We already said “no biggie” to Manning for his rap album... now we’re going after his label distributor? Call me nonplussed

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I’m fine with going after Assange for hacking. That is a cross-border crime and therefore applies wherever the hacked info or damage occurred.
But I do not know of anything Wikileaks hacked from the USG. He could be on the hook for conspiracy with Manning, but I’m not seeing much there.
Manning’s decision to be a traitor was the cause of this entire fiasco. Not Assange.
If we are going to go after Assange with hammers and tongs because he spread info that was given to him by a traitor, then somebody explain to me why we aren’t doing it with the NYT editorial board. It is the same thing.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
That will be the thing and that's why it appears they are going after the idea that he either hacked it himself or he was complicit in the hacking. They know they can't win a court case on the simple dissemination of the material - freedom of the press, which is what keeps the NYT safe (and keeps any newspaper safe) is far too established to try it on those charges. They better be sure they can get the conviction, though, if they're going to bring him over here, or this will be a public relations fiasco.CID1990 wrote:I’m fine with going after Assange for hacking.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
It's just weird math because it was already such a small number. I mean, with 6.93 people coming in last year, you'd only need something close to another 6.93 people this year to get a big jump year to year. Funny math.Winterborn wrote:Lots of people moving to Idaho last year.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Out of the 6.93 needed, over half of that is covered with the 4 people I know (cousins family and 2 friends) that moved there last year. Montana folks might need to watch out in case there is spill over.GannonFan wrote:It's just weird math because it was already such a small number.

Idaho is a wierd State. They spend little on transportation and education, and have a few culturally progressive resort towns surrounded by Mormons in the south and toothless hillbillies in the north.Winterborn wrote:Out of the 6.93 needed, over half of that is covered with the 4 people I know (cousins family and 2 friends) that moved there last year.

The two friends I know moved to Boise (he is an rehab doctor and his wife had a bakery here in Lakes Country), my cousins family moved to the toothless hillbillies area.

Have been through the state a couple of times and I like the scenery, just didn't seem like there was much industry in the state.

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
I haven’t been to Boise in years but in all fairness I know it was on the upswing for quite some time with the tech industry. Very clean city with a low crime rate. Post Falls and CDA are also growing and adding industry. There is practically a zero inventory of homes in the Spokane - CDA metro area.Winterborn wrote:The two friends I know moved to Boise (he is an rehab doctor and his wife had a bakery here in Lakes Country), my cousins family moved to the toothless hillbillies area.

Western Sussex hasn’t grown like the beach communities, because jobs are scarce and the schools suck. It may be just a matter of time. The gays have discovered Laurel, though.

You want that. They fixed the fuck out of Milford. They haven't seen a 1700s home they didn't want to restore downtown.
