Germany announced that they control book printing indefinitely, as is widely know that since Gutenberg invented printing press there, they remain the rightful owners of that technology and all derived from there.
In fact, the Chinese got there first by a couple of years...
The underlying objective is for the UK to adopt the US model of 'terrorist' detention. Extending the permitted period for detention of 'suspects' without charge to 90 days is a step in the desired direction for this.
And as people are saying, 90 days won't be enough time to crack anything that's properly secured. In 90 days, our boys in blue, who don't really get this IT stuff very well, might perhaps be able to crack an UNENCRYPTYED drive.
Not all terrorist suspects have hard drives, anyway. I guess they'll have to let the ones who don't go straight away.
Indeed.
Left-handed people are about 1 in 8 of the population. But at the highest level of fencing, (where the relative handedness of your opponent makes a considerable difference to the techniques required to defeat them), left- and right-handed competitors are approximately equal in number.
This is because, for everybody, facing a right-handed opponent is the norm (it will happen 7/8ths of the time). So a left-handed fencer will always face an opponent at a disadvantage; when two left-handers meet, both will be equally unfamiliar with what they face.
At the lower levels this favours left-handers, so that at higher levels their proportion increases, and the advantage they have due to unfamiliarity is decreased, until finally at the very highest levels of the sport, there is no longer an advantage to be derived from handedness.
3) Plug floppy drive power lead back in, one pin out of alignment.
4) Power computer on.
This reliably results in a very satisfactory electrical fire with visible flames and a reasonable amount of smoke, which will definitely destroy the floppy drive and its power lead, and if not extinguished in a very timely fashion, will take out the rest of the computer, the building it is in, and anything else flammable in the vicinity...
(Step 4 will be most satisfactorily carried out by the computers real owner, ideally when you are several miles away.:-)

In this country the police handle this stuff and they don't have any particular expertise in the field.

I'm glad to see that at least one person has noticed the point of this exercise ...which is not much to do with spam prevention at all.
