I always wondered why if the extradition is just to question him, it would be cheaper to just fly out a Swedish prosecutor/team and conduct the interview in the UK. Then they could…

I agree and think it's a good first step. However I don't think it will necessarily get rid of the cartels. Prohibition gave rise to organized crime in the US, but once it was repe…

I think they are two sides to the same coin. You can't tackle red inequality without looking at blue inequality. As someone else put it, purple inequality. What happens when a CEO …

No, they didn't. The biggest sign you can see out in the open is that the Fire is running a fork of 2.3 Gingerbread instead of 3.0 Honeycomb or the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich.

Does Allan have a pricing mistake for Marco to fix? I haven't heard anywhere that it is a real impediment to TM2. Even in the list message from Allan, he mentions that maybe it was…

Bingo, this is, as an acquaintance of _why, the main reason. Though I think it is more complicated than just one thing. Before when he got outed he was able to talk to the person a…

There may be other complexities to it, but I never thought the GPL v2 explicitly forbad DRM signed apps. Also it was my understanding that providing the source could be a URL, whic…

As an American with a chronic condition living in Sweden I can agree with you. However the Swedish system does a lot to eliminate and streamline the system. Calling to get an appoi…

I had something similar. We had two programs that you could leave school early for work stuff. They were work release which required being in certain related classes to the job, an…

This article is largely ignorant of the larger issues in play. Media companies only sell the rights to distribute in certain geographic markets. If Apple could let everyone buy fro…

To not play fast and loose with the facts, the warrant was signed at 7pm and Jason Chen reported getting home around 9:45pm, but the search was well underway at that point.

Hey if the US and Austria (I believe I saw you comment somewhere else that it is where you live) then that's really what matters. Here employment taxes are taken out like in the US…

Partly it's because if something happens, military coup, war or something it complicates and possibly prohibits the US from rescuing one of their citizens cause the other country y…

You pay the country you live in first, or else the US Embassy in Stockholm, various international tax accountant/lawyers and every double taxation treaty I've seen is wrong.

You should go back and file past years if you can, so long as you have filed for the past 5 or 7 years (whatever the IRS's window to audit or call into question a return is) you wi…

I think I'd happily suspend my tax burden and right to vote while living abroad. If you want to vote you got to file your taxes seems to be fair to me.

Many Americans living abroad are ignorant of the duty to still file federal taxes while residing abroad. It gets fairly complicated fast and mistakes can have huge ramifications fo…

I think the point is that it's possible to get pass poor programming and filtering. A smart developer would've been aware of intval() and used it instead of mysql_real_escape_strin…

I subscribe that at least part of the 'problem' is Adobe's (previously Macromedia's) attention to the Mac. Flash has always been subpar, and I'm not alone in that the majority of a…

There is no denying that Gruber is a Mac pundit. Just like a political pundit that means rationalizing and cheering whatever decision the mothership makes, with little insider info…

I know I'm not alone in knowing the real _why, knowing that he was okay, passing that message on and I trying to stop the stalking/detective work. While I'm not sure he wanted peop…

By that logic then all VNC clients and webviews are in violation. I can use a VNC client to connect to my Mac, see the screen including Dock with Safari and other Apple icons. Any …
