Well from the theme of this thread an open letter in the Times signed by a large proportion of the CTOs of Silicon Roundabout saying "we'll go to jail or leave the country if this goes into effect" will probably at least get

Well since this is only a proposed law, writing to your MP would be a good start.

I can believe a small group can exist as a collective without violence for a while (maybe a long while), but how can any such group deal with a member that decides to use violence to get their way? Either that person becomes leader, the gr

- Smaller organizations lack the propaganda reach and expertise to sanitize their actions and so they are classified as criminals. Larger ones have hordes of academics, journalists, philosophers, etc., proclaiming the moral righteousness of

This would make things very different. However I've not seen any suggestion that this is happening, nor is dragnet surveillance in any way a pre-requisite for this sort of thing. It isn't the lack of means that stops democracies b

The cases aren't really comparable. No matter what you think of Snowden, he definitely broke US law in a pretty serious way. Assange is a publisher, as far as anyone can tell he's not broken any US laws.

Particularly since he could still appeal back to the UK if Sweden tried to extradite him. Also weird this wasn't an argument he brought up while fighting the initial extradition to Sweden.

This is covered in the article. Sweden has now (as of March) said they would be willing to interview in London. http://www.aklagare.se/In-English/Media/News-in-English1/The... http://www.thelocal.

Even better, write a test with a name that describes its functionality.

I find comments like this really strange. Firstly, I wouldn't be surprised if things like this are quietly ignored for the sake of diplomacy. Secondly, this fairness isn't the objective here, it's being ahead. The perfect si

Right, but it's about deportation of Asylum seekers to their home country not about the extradition of someone to a third country. It just not the same thing. Edit: there their they're //sigh

Your link is about a deportation of an illegal immigrant. Right or wrong the legality of that case is very different. And the rest of this is nothing to do with the price of eggs. The case here is that something has happened to get the UK

What would be the Swedish law that would be used for extradition? (and indeed what would the US law be that Assange would be charged under - and why has that not happened yet?) And what documented history?

I agree, really it's Grace Hopper that we should be celebrating as "the woman who founded modern computing", because we're still feeling her influence every day!

That is plausible, e.g. we would not extradite a person for one offence if it was likely the offender would then be charged with a capital offence. However, you need quite a lot more than the accused's assertion that this might happen

The trouble is people are quite rationally in favour of more spending (especially for people like me) and against more taxes (or in favour of taxes for "the rich" i.e. people who are richer than me). And let's not even get st

I used to think this, but I was amazed and impressed by the amount of attention the El Capitan Dawn Wall climb received in the media. That was very much about pushing the technical limits with only the normal climbing risks. I was particul

Visual Studio + Resharper lets you do a "Find Usages" of a type or method which is very useful for finding relevant tests. Intellij has the same functionality and I imagine the other JetBrains IDEs are similar. More general advic

Surely the point of the intelligence services is to find out who is threatening a country in a certain way?

Also worth pointing out that the £10k is a deposit, not a payment. If you get 5% of first preferences you get it back.

Yeah, exactly. This is just a back door to phone tower triangulation, something every nation state has access to and uses regularly and publicly as part of normal criminal investigations.

by PJDK 12y ago
This is really selling a quite interesting intellectual effort on meaningless paranoia. Who would have any interest in tracking people in this manner? Any government based group can grab the data much more conveniently via the phone towers.

Good point. I'm coming from the slightly spoiled .NET/LINQ world so you get (I think) 100% of SQL functionality built in.

Why the move away from ORMs? I've certainly banged my head against the wall with them any number of times, but I wouldn't want to give up the compile time checking of queries when I make a db change.

I hear this a lot. Was I the only kid who would build what ever was on the box first, play with that for a day - break it and then have it all go into a big box? And all the funny bits people moan about make excellent space lasers.

The NPT works the other way around. It is a bargain between the nuclear weapons powers and the non-weapon powers. Non-weapon powers get access to civilian nuclear technology and know-how in exchange for a promise (and safeguards) to not d

Every time this comes up a lot of people question whether Britain is making a special case out of Assange. But the European arrest warrant system has been around for a while, and been criticised for the burden it places on the police when
