C O N F I D E N T I A L SECTION 01 OF 02 MOSCOW 000228
SUBJECT: RUSSIAN DRAFT BILL WOULD REQUIRE ON-SHORE CREDIT CARD PROCESSING
The latest version of the Russian draft law "On the National Payment System" contains several provisions that would disadvantage U.S. businesses. The draft law would set up a National Payment Card System (NPCS) including its own payment card that banks and payment card companies could join voluntarily. Most likely to be a consortium of state-owned banks, the NPCS operator would process the domestic payments for all members and collect processing fees estimated at $4 billion per year. The draft also forbids sending abroad any payment data for domestic transactions. Should international payment card companies such as Visa and MasterCard chose not to join the NPCS they would have to set up the infrastructure to do their Russian payment processing domestically.
.... This draft law continues to disadvantage U.S. payment card market leaders Visa and MasterCard, whether they join the National Payment Card System or not. If they join, the NPCS operator will collect the fees, leaving them to collect processing fees only when card-holders travel abroad -- a tiny section of the market. If they do not join but choose to compete with NPCS cards, they will have to set up payment processing centers in Russia, a very large investment in itself, and compete against a system likely backed by the largest Russian state banks. While the draft legislation has yet to be submitted to the Duma and can still be amended, post will continue to raise our concerns with senior GOR officials. We recommend that senior USG officials also take advantage of meetings with their Russian counterparts, including through the Bilateral Presidential Commission, to press the GOR to change the draft text to ensure U.S. payment companies are not adversely affected. END COMMENT.

RAID 5? In 2010?

Tougher than pissing off The Third Reich
At least the well-uniformed regime did not have controlling interests just about anywhere.
The "blow off" is gonna be difficult.
Not enough oomph in that package. Try a drop of VX.
Yes, Lem's Upside-Down Evolution is in progress.
Always happy to hear about Zionist^HSenator Lieberman
Lieberman is "hinting that Wikileaks' mainstream-media partners, collaborating on trawling and redacting files prior to public release, have violated the law also".
Would that be the law that the gerontocratic control freak makes up as he goes along?
T'was all discussed in the 70's and thrown out back then. Well, with the current itch of fascism growing every day, changes may be afoot-
Seekuh diniert
This is the "death of Java" in the same way as "cablegate" is the death of international diplomacy.
Wuh? Duh?
"as many patent licenses include restrictions on revealing the methodology"
Run that by me again.
It's not called a "patent" for nothing. It may be obfuscated and engineered to trap as many unwary souls as possible to generate rent, but there are no _restrictions_ on revealing anything. It's not trade secrecy.
Also, good luck on choosing the way of trying "not to infringe" when you don't even know whether you might.
Unfortunately...
...being well mannered, well meaning people doesn't bring in the bacon.
"the case is serious"
Yeah, yeah.
Did they get the killer of Olof Palme yet?
Maybe this will help
Ok, this is AlterNet, but bear with me...

Assange's London attorney, Mark Stephens, told AOL News today that Swedish prosecutors told him that Assange is wanted not for allegations of rape, as previously reported, but for something called "sex by surprise," which he said involves a fine of 5,000 kronor or about $715. "Whatever 'sex by surprise' is, it's only a offense in Sweden -- not in the U.K. or the U.S. or even Ibiza," Stephens said. "I feel as if I'm in a surreal Swedish movie being threatened by bizarre trolls. The prosecutor has not asked to see Julian, never asked to interview him, and he hasn't been charged with anything. He's been told he's wanted for questioning, but he doesn't know the nature of the allegations against him."
In Sweden: Burst Condom == Rape!
I think in Sweden you can insure against rape, so you can also cash in big...

"Private US medical system?"
There are any others?
Do you think the gov-sponsored hospital down the road is _not_ going to shove you into the scanner then send the bill to the tax collector to keep the cellar nurses busy (when they don't give you aspirin to help you recover after the left side of your body suddenly signs off, that is)?

Hey JimC, maybe you want to actually explain your claim?
Otherwise, go back to right-wind bullshit.

I guess you are working as sysop in a some social-support quango. Clue in: Wikileaks ain't interesed in the stuff on your RAID device.
After this...
He will have a huge furry animal sidekick that carries his exploded droid in a backpack.
That sums it up.
Meanwhile, on these "rape" charges;

More like a letter from "unnamed officials" amirite?
You know Big Brother just wants to help you keep your service up.
Furthermore, there is no point in reading anything leaked, because it's all old news. Move along now.
The law cannot be applied...
...because there is nothing to apply it to.
But we all know that "law" is an old and antiquated concept. "Taking off the shackles", remember?
"If RSL had been created in the UK you'd have a bit more money to spend"
Yes, minister.
How does that work then?
Create nationalized companies that can be taxed and/or resold (presumably before being run into the ground through immobilism)?
Have governement open source top-secret stuff and private companies that can be taxed grow like mushrooms around that?
Ah bureaucracies. They always want more money to spend.
"US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has issued a stinging poohpooh"
That coming from the bureaucratic hillbilly who transformed the US intelligence community into another propaganda pump for sexed-up justification papers.
Nice.
Get of of your roach cellar
...and just use it.

That's a pretty bizzare idea.
In Nuremberg, lots of people got a fine sentence, sometimes for a lot less than what the Empire is currently pulling. In your logic, they would all have walked free.

Nothing of interest there, move along

Hurr! Durr!
The Lesterlowski twins are expecting the actual memos of Cigarette Smoking Man from WikiLeaks right now, otherwise they throw a ridiculous tantrum?
Go back to your tired Dan Brown novels, both of you.
In case you missed it, these are just the memos of overpaid government employees who are pulling us into directions unwanted by a dog leash around our necks.
But we knew that since at least Tony The Bliar, s'truth.

Being candid will preclude you from getting a job?
Seconding this. I also like the locker room humor and chest.thumping of "senior management" when they lower their price estimate by 30% in about 10 minutes.
I can tell you that it's harsh when one is suddenly alone on a job that requires at least 4 persons fulltime because "we can't afford it".
You can then only hope the projects kills itself before you do,
"Patriot-hacker"
Also known as Juvenile Nationalistic Jerk, I reckon.
Maybe that guy and Lamo could get together for a twosome.
No secrets all right.
It's just the Americans shitting all over themselves like babies and behaving badly.
But we knew that all along.

[Many residents near Kandahar] have lodged repeated complaints about the scope of the destruction with U.S. and Afghan officials. In one October operation near the city, U.S. aircraft dropped about two dozen 2,000-pound bombs.
In another recent operation in the Zhari district, U.S. soldiers fired more than a dozen mine-clearing line charges in a day. Each one creates a clear path that is 100 yards long and wide enough for a truck. Anything that is in the way - trees, crops, huts - is demolished.
"Why do you have to blow up so many of our fields and homes?" a farmer from the Arghandab district asked a top NATO general at a recent community meeting.
Although military officials are apologetic in public, they maintain privately that the tactic has a benefit beyond the elimination of insurgent bombs. By making people travel to the district governor's office to submit a claim for damaged property, "in effect, you're connecting the government to the people," the senior officer said.

We are stuck here. They cut corners.
War is peace, ignorance is strength, copying is a crime. Trust the computer.
"At present, there is no specific obligation under Nominet's terms and conditions for owners to ensure their domain names are not used for crime."
I would say that doesn't need to be in T&C, really.
"Despite this, in December, at the request of the Met's Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU), Nominet revoked the domain names of 1,200 websites it said were being used to sell counterfeit designer goods"
That's a _crime_ nowadays?
Why the concern?
Why would you be concerned about reactors on interplanetary manned craft?
These ships will have LOTS of shielding to keep the interstellar subatomic golfballs / the odd solar flare out and shielding the reactor will be listed under "bugs to fix later". Not even talking about cancerogenic chemicals that will probably accumulate in the closed-cycle systems.
The astronauts they will probably have their reproductive organs pickled away before the trip or something.
I wouldn't even be concerned about a slab of plutonium taped to the outside of an exploding shuttle. It's not going critical, and it's not like anyone is going to inject the debris into his bloodstream. You would probably find it back in one piece; it's just metal.
Maybe they should read the universal declaration of human rights
1) Do something in your own home with stuff owned by you.
2) State, backed by fatcat lobbyists, arbitrarily decides that it can decide that you cannot do that
3) ???
4) JEW! errr, I mean GUILTY!
The Fletcher Memorial Home is that way..
"The publication of this classified information by WikiLeaks is an irresponsible attempt to wreak havoc and destabilize global security. It potentially jeopardizes lives."
It's not like bombing and invading random countries or torturing some random dudes to death potentially jeopardizes lives.
Statist riffraff.

"so that the number of inventions generated soars"
In other news, free energy generated out of empty beer bottles, gold found in toilet etc.
Why do I have to read such crap from pretend intellectuals (are there any other) in the morning? And the day was beginning so well, with all the servers up.
I want my women objectified and hot!
I also want to have a .50 Browning HBAR fully locked and loaded with 500 antipersonnel rounds to use on these whining "government save me, clamp down on other people" amoral spidery cretins.
That's the point
If the SA, sorry T-SA wants to do obedience training of the whole populace, they should at least work for it.
Of course, you will get arrested for "illegal wearing of rare raw war-relevant elements" or something like this.
