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 determine if it should file charges and from what I underst

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 Prohibition gave rise to organized crime in the US, but once it was repealed they already were established and just focused on other

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 screws up? Blue inequality they get some sort of parachute a

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 a mistake, but money wasn't his primary motivation. If Alla

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 and get them to respect his anonymity, but this time around t

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, which is the easiest for everyone involved, but you could also p

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 appointment gets you on the phone with a nurse to triage you, so

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, and internship. I was in to computers, taking the AP CS class,

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 from the US store tomorrow they would. Granted there are not iT

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, you never see the money so it would be impossible to pay t

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 you have citizenship with is merely dealing with one of their

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 will be fine. You pay your local taxes first and then file the

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 for those that ever intend to move back. If you haven't filed

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_string(). I certainly worked with my share of developers with jus

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 apps that crash Flash is the root problem. If Adobe would ste

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 information. The thing is that whether you agree with him or not

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 webview is capable of pulling over the network apple.com whi

Do you think maybe his mom or someone might know his real name? There are people in the community that know his real name, but out of respect for his desired privacy, to let the art itself be famous instead of the artist simply refer to him

Definitely there are people that know _why. He has family and friends and such. He just is unique in his style and doesn't want to be famous for his art, he wants the art itself to be famous.

I think that maybe this could have some traction and get AT&T more in line. Though I don't know since the suit seems to be based on some fallacies. AT&T does support MMS for phones that are not the iPhone. Credible speculation seems

I know the FCC doesn't care much about the rest of the world, but I am hopeful the questions and answers might force some reevaluation of restrictions to make AT&T happy being worldwide enforced. (Speaking specifically of Skype not bein

The Apple apologists say it cuts into Apple's recurring revenue stream. This is based on speculation that Apple is receiving a fixed amount per iPhone subscriber every month. Though even this speculation says it is a fixed amount for each
