Which, as I said above, has not until now been used as a reason why Assange should not be extradited. Also the article points out that: so he would be held in jail, not in solitary confinement, just like anyone considered too much of a risk to let out on bail.
-
In this country if someone is either unable to post bail or considered either too dangerous or a flight risk they are locked up. If he is charged and is considered a flight risk then he would probably be locked up on the UK as well. You have to balance peoples rights against the risk that they will try to leg it before their trial. Possibly Sweden go a bit further than the UK in how often they lock people up but really its not that much more different to how the UK treat such people. Also where in the whole saga has this issue of the way Sweden treat pretrial suspects been raised by his side? In my mind it's just another reason being used to explain why he did not go back when at the time it was not even mentioned.
-
In most cases it is probably overkill but for Assange given his determined attempts to avoid going I think its justified. Also article goes on about: Neither of which appear to fit in with what we know of Assange. If he was willing to return to Sweden to face charges why was he not willing to return to be questioned? Surely if he is sent back they are not going to have him sitting in the cells for months before talking to him they will interview him almost as soon as he gets there and then decide to charge him or not.
-
It is not up to the suspect to dictate how and investigation takes place. Assange may have wanted them to come to London and interview him but he is not in the position to dictate where he is interviewed. In any other case bar this one the route would have been, country wanting to talk to suspect issue warrant, other country detains suspect, short court case to confirm warrant valid, suspect gets sent on for questioning. The only reason the Assange case has been so dragged out is that he is trying absolutely every tactic to stop being sent to Sweden and has foolish rich supporters who are prepared to pay his legal fees to do so.
-
As the article I linked to above says the result of all this is not so much that people before had paid significantly more as the ups and downs tended to cancel each other out its the upcoming rates set against the LIBOR where lenders will add a bit more because of lack of confidence in the figure and interest rates on savings etc will be lower as the institution cuts the rate a bit, again because of lack of confidence in the accuracy of LIBOR.
-
Going into the level of the allegations not the likelihood that the suspect will arrive with a list of embassies and taxi numbers. Add onto that the fact that they are having to drag him out of the UK kicking and screaming rather than going voluntarily and I find it unsurprising they will detain him.

Lawyer complaining that his client, who has lots of supporters and just brazenly broken the rules of this bail, will be locked up for a while in Sweden. Given that under flight risk in dictionaries there is now a picture of assange one would assume they are being sure he does not skip off to the nearest embassy with his sleeping bag.

Odd, I use the the yahoo webmail interface all the time and its usually fairly good at sorting thing into the spam folder but possibly it does not do this if you download the email into outlook? In the webmail interface you can mark items as spam that do make it into your inbox which I think feeds back into their algorithms for identifying spam.
-
Who do you use for your email? Many ISP's have spam settings you can modify online to do things like tag subject lines with [sPAM] that allow you to filter those out. Otherwise might be worth looking at alternate email clients.

I would say it was between the X and the S3. Several articles out there that compare them such as this one: http://www.motoringcrunch.com/news/mobile-tech/11157-samsung-galaxy-s3-vs-htc-one-x Fairly close on spec's but think generally the S3 has better software tweaks where as the X has possibly the better camera and screen. I would (if I had the money!) got for the X.
-
Once your email address is on one of these lists its impossible to stop it. Who do you use for your email and how do you access it (i.e. outlook, webmail, etc) as there are things you can do to try to make sure they are filtered out but exactly what depends on who you use for mail and how you access it.

I have a theory that something in Futac's old contract triggered an extension and the 'new contract' discussions is in fact them trying to persuade him to sign a lower paid contract rather than carry on with his current expensive one. News reports imply it was the club who activate the clause. If they did that then maybe they thought it would get them into a better negotiating position selling him on but one assumes if they have activated it that if he does not agree a lower salary then they may be forced to continue paying him his current salary?
-
So the options are: 1) Free tickets: No cost to club, pocket 30k 2) Statue: Start long consultation process on design, pocket 30k while waiting 3) Disabled facilities: Start long consultation/tender process, pocket 30k while waiting.

Replace your main system disk with a solid state drive (SSD).

and there is a sign on the ring fence that says "Beware of the Bottomless Pit"
-
Can't wait to read how the News try and put a positive spin on that! Probably something like 'plucky supporters spend their season ticket money on trust shares' or something similar.
-
....

They will have to do something about that fence as well as looks like its designed to keep people out rather than in.
-
That is a key one as I assume it needs to be sorted well before the start of the season? Last year, if I remember correctly, it cost them quite a bit to get the ground a safety certificate (all spun by the news etc as investment in the ground). Luckily for them I suspect the criteria may well be lower for league 1.

Problem for flash is that though it has improved over the years (actionscript 3 is a half decent OO language, much more hardware acceleration added to reduce cpu usage, flex system for simplifying creating online forms, etc) it has carried this reputation for being buggy and power hungry in the same way some people thing windows PC go to BSOD on a daily basis. In the mobile space there had been advanced to allow access to sensor data such as the accelerometer and if apple had allowed flash I am fairly sure it would have been a popular choice for building crossplatform apps but without apple it was just another way of building apps for android and never really took off.
-
At the time ios started there was really no such thing as usable HTML5. In my opinion the decision not to have flash on ios was mainly commercial not technical. As I remember just as adobe were about to release a version of flash for ios apple decided to add a rule for apps that banned interpreted code which stopped the release of the flash player.
-
Real reason why there was never flash on apple devices was that it would allow people to play games without apple getting their 20% cut.
