@XerxesQados: Like the article said, they have stepped over the line with documents such as the list of infrastructure targets. Also, Assange has publicly stated that he hopes to bring down the government of the United States.

@Ghostnappa9001: "WikiLeaks aims to uncover corruption..." By telling terrorists what targets would be best to hit to harm the U.S.? I'm all for government accountability. But that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be limits on what can be published. you call others ignorant of the truth and close-minded. Maybe you…

@blu_goku: Please follow the news. He's being arrested for rape, not for the leaks.

@monstermax: Nobody ever accused Assange of treason. Like jark said, treason only applies if you are attempting to harm your own country. I believe that espionage is the term that you are looking for.

"That something as relatively incidental to international security as a sex crime has been pursued by the likes of Interpol, however, does little to dispel the idea that perhaps Assange is getting special attention because of his day job."

@CCM333: In the actual wired article it is correct. It says, "such as insulin and vaccines for smallpox, influenza, foot-and-mouth disease and other ailments."

I think that you meant to say "such as vaccines for smallpox and influenza and foot and mouth disease and insulin." Insulin is not used to treat foot and mouth disease.

@Worf: Actually, the tragedy of the commons is where there will be enough for everyone if everyone follows the rules, and there will be enough for everyone if one person breaks the rules, but if one person breaks the rules, then everybody will break the rules and there will no longer be enough for anybody. It doesn't…

@hvrock13: I was trying to get the point across that you presented such little evidence that it was impossible to take you seriously. I don't defend all types of technology, I definitely think that there should be limits on how and when it is socially acceptable to use technology. However, I don't think that everybody…

@hvrock13: I don't see why everyone denies my view. How is this not an addiction? It's very common to see people daydreaming and driving, ignoring others because they're thinking with their brain. It's like people are addicted to thinking, just coming up with ideas at all times.

@blash: Why would you go to a liberal arts college if you don't want a liberal arts education?

@gps4cam: Actually, it's impossible to make a nuclear power plant go kaboom as well. I don't mean "impossible" as in nearly impossible because of procedures, I mean literally impossible. There's a reason that you need enriched uranium for a nuclear bomb. With unenriched uranium, there are multiple isotopes of uranium,…

@AreWeThereYeti: Sure it can. We just concentrate on finding the weapons, not the people. What we need to do is what the Israelis did. We need to hire well trained professionals and do behavioral profiling. [www.thestar.com]

@daPrinz: Actually, quite a few Germans protested the bailout of Greece. There was a huge debate about the constitutionality of it.

@dasarp: "Some lights don't have any sort of detectors. For example, in a large city, the traffic lights may simply operate on timers — no matter what time of day it is, there is going to be a lot of traffic."

@seven5suited: I'm not saying that it would never be helpful; however, it may not be any more helpful than current methods. [gizmodo.com]

@The Anti-Fanboy: In general, no. They have some pretty cool algorithms that let them predict traffic to figure out when to set the lights to what, but unless there is a person there actually monitoring the lights, they normally don't adjust based on how many cars are there.

@TheTonyShow: So the housing market should be eliminated because it fluctuates? I don't claim to be an economist, but any market will be subject to "spikes, bubbles, manipulation and crash." Also, and here's a shocker, small scale experiments don't necessarily have the same results as large scale ones. This was a…

@gizmodocon: I'm saying that they are definitely going to give us all cancer, what I am saying is that the TSA is pretty much the only organization saying that they are safe and that we probably should stop using them until definite studies can be done. If a new virus were to suddenly pop up would you advocate…

@seven5suited: Have you not read any of the articles in the news recently about how these machines aren't actually effective? There have been no conclusive results showing that these machines are any more effective than previous measures. Also, in the article it says, "And fortunately for those who walked through the…
