Even more baffling is the idea that you can prevent Assange from accessing the net by cutting wifi? Did those noobs really think that it was going to be effective? It begs belief.

No more Wiki Leaks. The Ecuadorian government has pulled the plug.
Who is happy about this and who is upset?

Originally posted by whodeydude you can set up a mobile phone to be a wifi hub and heck you can even go wired! or the best is to hack your neighbours wifi and use that. Its takes literally minutes to crack wifi if you know what you are doing. People just use really weak passwords.

Originally posted by whodeythe rhetoric is that the emails were stolen, Assange certainly did not steal them and I am not entirely sure if they are a kind of property? they will most certainly break privacy laws but it can be argued that GCHQ and others have being doing that for years, heck there was a ruling yesterday that their bulk collection of data for the past 17 years has been illegal and you know what? NOBODY CARES! I blame millennials, they are used to giving up their anonymity and privacy and think nothing of it on spy sites like A$$book.
Is Assange a criminal? Are e-mails private property?
Originally posted by kquinn909Are you forgetting just why Assange is holed up in an embassy? You may recall he is wanted for rape in Sweden. Of course the conspiracy theorists would just say that's just a ploy to shut him up.
Pfft. He already went to plan B. and released more Podesta e-mails. And it was Kerry that did the dirty work saying Assage was interfering w/peace negotiations in Columbia. What a crock. So much for free speech.
It is of course easy to circumvent internet protocals. For instance, all it takes is a Wifi antenna with 20 db of gain to hack into anyone's wifi within a half mile. I could make one with metal coathangers. Besides, he probably already had a plan B if he was cut off.
Like having a buddy already with all the rest of his stuff, it's easy to get a thumb drive smuggled out, you can get a quarter terabyte ones now. Cutting off his net is not going to stop him.

You might be able to make an Internet detecting doohickey, but how are you going to break my unbreakable password:

I made one out of exactly what I said, coathanger wire when I was 14 and later another antenna out of coathanger wire and a broomstick, a 6 element yagi for recieving FM radio, it worked like a charm and it would work at wifi frequencies too, just a much smaller antenna.

I guess you figure you are the next George Carlin with your password joke eh.
Hint: Don't give up your day job. It is your biggest joke, believing in flatassness.

Sheesh.
By and by...
I believe 1969 was the year they faked the first moon landing, so, in a manner of speaking, that def was the beginning.
Good looking out.
