Certainly Tesla has aquired a lot more respect in recent years, respect he should have had a long time ago, except Edison was a better politian.

What ever happened to 'What happens in Sweden stays in Sweden?'
|
|
|
|

Thats vegas... but they have people here, who will take your picture and put it up on craigslist doing bad things.

Usually nothing happens in Sweden so nothing stays in sweden

Perhaps because it's not breaking Software or IT news.

There's a lot of people that believe that Assange is being targeted because of the Wikileaks site, so it's not completely out of the realm of technology. So it's probably as relevant as a lot of the law suits going back and forth between companies or the post above that says Ebay banned spells from being sold.
...now for the important task at hand... where to sell my spells from now on...

They should get a helicopter with a rope hanging outside the window. Have Assange dress up with an anonymous mask and black cape, it would make for a great escape.

That's a nice thought, but:
Article states: But even with his asylum granted now, UK police can stop the vehicle or helicopter he would be travelling in to get him out of the country.
I'm thinking they should sneak in a rocket that can have a human as cargo, then have Assange parachute when he's over Ecuador. 
Actually, they'd probably gun that rocket down pretty fast.

On Wednesday, a court of appeals ruled that because we all know cell phones have GPS transponders that can broadcast our locations at any time, we have no reasonable expectation of privacy when we carry them. This means that law enforcement can legally trace the location of your cell phone on public roads -- no warrant required. [ITworld]

That is the best way to articulate this argument, that if it's not something that would be expected to be public knowledge, then the cops should need a warrant to get it. Period. If they had reason to suspect a drug smuggler, they should have enough to get a warrant.
It really pisses me off.
Look at me still talking when there's science to do
When I look out there it makes me glad I'm not you

they received authority from a federal judge to get the cell phones' ping info from the cell phone company, which is apparently enough to get a phone's location, on demand.

from the judge's decision:
Believing that Big Foot was carrying the 6447 phone, authorities obtained an order from
a federal magistrate judge on July 12, 2006, authorizing the phone company to release
subscriber information, cell site information, GPS real-time location, and “ping” data for
the 6447 phone in order to learn Big Foot’s location while he was en route to deliver the
drugs.
That same day, agents “pinged” the 6447 phone and discovered that it was
currently located in Candler, North Carolina, the location of West’s primary residence.
...
Authorities then obtained a second order from
the magistrate judge authorizing release of the same information for the 6820 phone,
which revealed that the phone was located near Flagstaff, Arizona.
By continuously “pinging” the 6820 phone, authorities learned that Big Foot left
Tucson, Arizona on Friday, July 14, 2006, and was traveling on Interstate 40 across
Texas.
they got two court orders allowing them to ping the phones. the phones respond to these pings with their GPS data.
what more do you want?

you did, however, start off by talking about warrants and judge's authorization, etc., which is what i responded to.
