@jepzilla: GPU != CPU (GP or otherwise), which is what you're comparing. Given that, I'd be interested on hearing your basis for considering it flawed.

@Rustabout: That just questions why wikileaks published this information at all, who has really benefited?

@Jesse Tobiason: I must admit, I don't really get it either. But I hope it does well, just 'cos it's different.

@theprancingboar:

@Rustabout: Yes, four media companies. That's alright then /s

@midnightz: You don't think that's a lot? Surely it's used for fact checking e.t.c., why would anyone need to download it, except to compromise it?

@Dinosaur!: I'm afraid you've got 24 muddled up with American Dad.

@Y2KGTP: Win :)

@DongDingTheWitchLives: Quite, it's a problem they don't appear to have addressed. I'm not claiming to be clever enough to know the answer, only to see the problem :(

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: Hmm, daily? I think that's the market they're going for. We have mostly above ground power cables (old at that) but only get powercuts during the worst storms.

@Rob C: Terrestrial?

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!: If you have power continuity issues, you probably live in a country with little or no cable. That would be my guess.

@hostile-17: Might be handy if the other option is missing half of an episode of something.

@BKJ216: Watch terrestrial.

@Homer Berkowitz: "it should have an outlet for powering a cable box"

@ben1605: I think you're trying to compare two different things.

You'd think there would be some sort of metaphorical alarm bell ringing when he started to download that quantity of data.

Wikileaks has done some good work in the past, but I can't see the justification for this one. It also worries me that this Julian Assange gets to be the arbiter of what to release and what not to. If wikileaks were more of a community driven operation it would be less worrying, but as far as I can tell it's all down…

So what's her real name?

@Lensflare: They're pretty basic components these days, and cost pennies. They provide complete isolation between your hacked together electronics and your expensive flash, so they're worth the money.
