It is relevant if you are against systematic extrajudicial murder and illegal spying or torture, and think the rule of law is worth following. But if you aren't, then yeah, not relevant.

Thanks for the link, I read that a while back and have been trying to find the article again ever since then, but hadn't been able to find the right terms to put into google.

They should just save everyone's time by dropping pretences and summarily dragging Julian into the square and shooting him in the back of the head. That would be much more humane than dragging this farce out with endless legal purgator

The whole charade is to enable a future army of lobotomized bootlickers the confidence to proclaim, "he had his time in court", long after all the barely-reported injustices in the proceedings of this kangaroo court have been forg

Just like anyone, they make mistakes. Think of the most boneheaded thing that you did in the last two years, then imagine that could have been the one mistake that gets you busted. Also they probably get complacent about the whole thing eve

Like what? Tor itself is never the reason they were caught as far as anyone knows.

Plus it doesn't make sense. If they know his number to call him, why can't they just confirm the address from him and deliver it?

Is there any evidence at all to suggest that is the case? Of course not, it's a ridiculous allegation with no basis in fact. A baseless allegation that would have rightly been completely ignored by police if it wasn't Assange.

So, he's a rapist because he can't read minds and we imagine he prefers not to wear a condom. Got it. Of course nobody should be interested when his human rights are ignored, because that inexcusable behavior is so much more damag

As an Australian, I'm sickened that our pathetic excuse for a government has shown no interest in protecting one of their own citizens being dragged into this kangaroo court. Spineless and corrupt.

>The fact that this leaked and almost nobody cares means that people have made a decision. Most people have made the decision that the government is corrupt, Assange is an asshole, and there's nothing they can do about any of it b

Look at what the US is already doing. Torture, secret "trials", spying, internment camps, zero judicial oversight. It's very dangerously close already, it's only a matter of time until those in power finally take the thi

Excellent work from the government that brought you backdoored encryption or secret 15 year jail terms for sysadmins who refuse to spy on their customers. TRUST US, WE'RE THE GOVERNMENT!

>word they’re using to describe the notion that getCurrentTime() is returning null rather than a fixed number. Can you explain what you mean by this? I've never had the time-dilation effects.

I was in the passenger seat of a car, and my mind wandered while watching the car in front of us - I 100% watched it lose control and drive off the side of the road into the blackness. It was just my imagination as confirmed by the sober dr

Not just "pushes", they have already passed a law where they can secretly force sysadmins to create backdoors for them under threat of 15 years jail, with no legal representation. No warrant necessary, just the approval of a retir

Hmm, a "sophisticated state actor" or a copy-paste script kiddy? Which one was it? Copy-paste and open source was enough to get into the Australian Parliament, apparently our pollies simply can't resist the allure of larger p

Thanks for the post. I'm curious, did they try to put any pressure on you to unlock the devices for them?

Excellent! It's about time the public started to take an interest in their own privacy. Even Snowden wasn't able to wake up the lobotomized masses. Hopefully the techies will come up with more and better solutions to work around a

Yes but this goes even beyond just spying and gives them the ability to offensively hack citizens PCs. From the other link I posted: "ASD has legal and policy coverage to do offensive cyber operations against selected foreign targets.

Only the worst kind of monster would make moral decisions based solely on legality. Yes, even under a "good Democratic system".
