Re: What would happen if Assange stepped out ?
Sweden cannot extradite him for political crimes nor any crimes that can result in the death penalty. This is in the Swedish core laws.

Re: Behold! Pluto hath returned from Hades!
From Wikipedia as for IAU definition of a planet:
"A planet is an astronomical body orbiting a star or stellar remnant that
is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity,
is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and
has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals"
Not that I am a huge advocate for keeping Pluto as a planet, but rather to get Quaoar and 2002 MS4 :).

Re: From the 27
Yep, we did the same with the Euro election in Sweden, but this is about perception and the perception among the vast majority of EU is that UK is a xenophobic country that thinks it is more elevated economically/politically/culturally than the other EU countries. The British media has made this picture even more prevalent in Europe. Sad, but true.

Re: From the 27
Petty, it's not true. Being a citizen of the closest ally to UK in EU, Sweden, who joined EU with a 51-49 vote, and as UK, not part of the Euro-zone, we're a bit worried of the sentiment against UK right now. To be honest, we would have agreed with Brexit if it was for the right reasons and not xenophobic, "they will steal our jobs" BS. There were plenty of reasons for leaving EU, you just picked the wrong one and by that reason you are now perceived lower than Greece. There are a few, mostly very vocal right wing groups, that shout about referendums, but in the greater populous they just want this to finish fast (and in many cases not very nice for UK). As a Swedish citizen I now worry that the union will move faster in the wrong direction when UK is not helping us block the most insane suggestions. Even so, most leaders and people in EU wants this over with, so we can go on with our lives, and if they can punish UK (and scare some other member from leaving), that's a bonus.

Re: So let's get this straight
Similar here, my 4S is working like a charm and I see absolutely no need for a bigger screen just because it make something I almost never do a little better. Also the reason why I won't change to a new Samsung/RIM/Win8 phone, since they only sell in monstrous sizes which I don't need. I want the SIII power crammed into a 4S or S1 form factor, then I will consider changing phone.
Assange loses appeal against extradition to Sweden
Wednesday 30th May 2012 10:06 GMT
And you base this on your vast experience of Swedish law? I'm from Sweden and don't have an opinion whatsoever whether the prosecutor has a case or not since the evidence will presented once (and if) this goes to court. However, Swedish law prohibits immideate extradition to US and since US has death penalty, there are even more laws making this extremely difficult to do. UK on the other hand can send him there whenever US asks for it since there is a collaboration between them regarding this, so if US would be the problem for Assange, he should run for Sweden as he is safer there.
