@AnthonyG123: Light is an oscillating electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic fields aren't just intensities, they have a direction. You can see this with a magnetic and iron filings, the iron filings will line up in the direction of the field around the magnet.

@Cochese 2.0: You sound like someone who hasn't actually read any of these cables. I can tell this because you think "the cables have only so far released information about shady dealings".

@alienchld7: I don't see anything terribly wrong with consumer tiers. ISPs have been doing it for a long time.

@HunterShoptaw: Yes, that's the problem. That's why net neutrality is important.

@baglunch: I dunno. Looks like the forecastle. Probably for the anchor windlass and capstans for the hawsers and mooring lines. I'm not a nautical expert.

@melior: Not really. ISPs could have been charging customers different rates a long time ago. There aren't complex contractual obligations that are preventing it, like there is with Comcast wanting to charge Google.

@flink: I don't see what point you're trying to make.

@alienchld7: No, not at all.

@PHXPhoto:

Nothing that expensive should ever be bending or flexing you say?

Wow, that website is completely wrong. Which is really pathetic when you think about how much work was put into it.

@jdale: You don't need a citation, go read the cables yourself. You can see that wikileaks does redact names. But only names. They don't bother redacting any other identifying information.

@leptonette: What purpose would that serve?

@davidgreen360: The CIA is investigating the impact of a massive leak on American diplomacy and operations overseas, thus freedom is over? Damn right that is the most ridiculous bit of hyperbole I've heard in a month.

@The5thElephant: That depends on whether they expect their report to be leaked.

@davidgreen360: Unfortunately ridiculous uninformed hyperbole lives on!

@JAlexoid: Well it all comes down to what kind of contact and discussions there were between Assange and Manning. We know they were communicating, but the nature of those communications aren't public knowledge.

@leonardlow: For someone so interested in the subject, you appear not to have noticed that the investigation you desire took place. Years before WikiLeaks got their hands on the video. Here's the final report:

@leonardlow: Manning may be guilty of treason, he may be innocent. That'll be for lawyers and the courts to decide.

@Sturm: Damn. How do YOU remember that?
