The next move is very important. He's right now in a limbo sort of state as Russia won't go after him. The next place might not be so forgiving. This isn't the first time this has happened, i.e. political refugee stuck in an airport.-40hz (June 28, 2013, 08:00 AM)
Well at least it's nice to know whatever psychological issues I may have, OCD isn't one of them.
I didn't even get one telltale out of the ten listed. (I feel so left out right now!)

But my guess is so many of those countries are so poor that one good knock on the door will make them buckle over something like this!-TaoPhoenix (June 28, 2013, 12:52 PM)
Especially when that knock comes from the only country ever known to use nuclear weapons against an enemy.-app103 (June 28, 2013, 01:58 PM)
Strange he's staying so long in that airport... (that is if he is still there)-tomos (June 28, 2013, 02:43 AM)
I downloaded the latest version last week - V.7.1e - but twice now it has frozen in my sys tray after running for a few hours. I had to end the process to kill it. I wonder if it has problems with Windows 7 x64.

"Shadow on the Land" was from 1968? Seems remarkably prescient.

I love Stickies!
...
I donated to Tom Revell long before I was even aware of DC. As a matter of fact, I believe that Stickies was the first program for which I sent a donation. Got me off to a good start. I was surprised to see the old forum still there. So many developers have moved to "Get Satisfaction" or ZenDesk for support. It's not posted to very much but it appears that Tom still replies on occasion.-J-Mac (June 24, 2013, 11:29 AM)
Har-de-har-har. Very droll.-IainB (June 27, 2013, 11:45 AM)
He doesn't have operational knowledge. So ... what's with this Scorched Earth approach to getting him back?-wraith808 (June 27, 2013, 12:00 PM)
I use Ad Muncher and neither of the sites mentioned showed any floating ads for me.

I personally found it amazing how quickly Prez-O backed off on almost everything he said about transparency and accountability and repairing some of the damage caused by the excesses in the name of 9/11. Politicians don't usually betray everything they say, or do a complete 180, without fairly good reasons. And I don't think this guy was that good a liar that he had everybody conned right up front.
So what happened?
Compare the early days of this administration with the sudden change in its behavior and attitude about almost everything related to "national security" less than two years later.
I'm guessing "somebody" got cautioned. And in no uncertain terms.

Okay this spam had a unique enough (wtf) subject line that I thought I'd a screen shot of my inbox: (see attachment in previous post)-Stoic Joker (June 25, 2013, 01:06 PM)
Until the end of the month ATT is offering an exchange of contract smartphones while waiving the "activation fee". I have a windows phone 8 (lumia 920) currently. It's ok, does the job. But it sucks at a lot of things. it is the most unconfigurable phone I've ever seen. The battery life is bad, most of the time it will drain in less than 6 hours whether I'm using it or not. The wireless charging pad is really cool, but I'd prefer having a phone that doesn't make me worry about it. if I use the gps map app to navigate an hour trip, often that will drain the battery by over 50%. So that's my complaint, plus I can't really play with the phone.
Any thoughts/experiences? Please share!-superboyac (June 25, 2013, 09:43 AM)
Think about that. He'd been asked to take a vote on things that he didn't have the full picture on. What's wrong with that statement? What does that say about this situation, and about the US government in general?-wraith808 (June 25, 2013, 11:52 AM)
If Snowden is caught and brought to trial, here's what I think the next move ought to be:
Snowden should claim that everything he said previously was a lie. And there's no law against telling lies to our enemies, right?
To make its case, the government would need to prove that the stuff Snowden said really was true, thus forcing the government to admit, at the very least, the truth of Snowden's claims.-CWuestefeld (June 25, 2013, 11:33 AM)
