Call me paranoid, but isn't it as though they UK government wanted monopoly on information on the subject? That's at least the conclusion I would draw if I was persecuting for researching something.
Wouldn't want any non-state sanctioned truths getting out about what a bunch of hot air this so called terrorist 'threat' really is.
Being a physicist, I've got an excuse for being absent minded, but keeping SEVEN DIGITS in your working memory? Holy crap. I'm lucky if I can cram four of them in there.
Seriously, it's an issue with me and older telephones -- I can punch three numbers, then I have to look on the number I'm calling to get the next batch, and by the time I've got it, the phone is already dialing.
Could have at least, for a change, put some more effort into it. Something small, like citing more of the dialog in question goes a long way.

Riddles? Dude, he'll fucking kill your entire family on a dare from the devil, ask Job! That was his Godzilla period. When he ran around shooting lasers out of his eyes, ravaging the countryside and toppling over buildings in Tokyo. Nowadays he's old and grumpy, sitting in a rocking chair on his porch yelling at the angels to get off the lawn.
Three strikes, zero tolerance etc., has always been stupid. What it does is not reduce crime, it increases the number of people penalized. It makes the legal system and whatnot appear more effective, while the problem is still there.
Punishment, as a crime deterrent has a pretty low saturation level. Once you reach that level, you can increase the punishments all you like, except maybe going medieval and quartering people, there's not going to be a significant decrease in the crime rate.
But unfortunately, all too often politicians grab the opportunity to appear (note the word) to do something about the rampant crime by increasing punishments, when what they should be doing is to focus on the cause of the crimes instead.
"On this most glorious Twelfth Day of May, Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Eight" And that's as many as twenty hundreds and eight: one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred, five hundred, six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred, nine hundred, ten hundred, eleven hundred, twelve hundred, thirteen hundred, fourteen hundred, fifteen hundred, sixteen hundred, seventeen hundred, eighteen hundred, nineteen hundred, twenty hundred and eight: That's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight years. In one hundred, there is as many as ten tens, one ten, two tens, three tens, four tens, five tens, six tens, seven tens, eight tens, nine tens, ten tens. Each ten contains ten ones: one one, two ones, three ones, four ones, five ones, six ones, seven ones, eight ones, nine ones, ten ones.

Ssh, it's listening. We'll talk in one of the pods where it can't hear us.
It's open the pod bay door please HAL, all over again. An even better touch would be if the program sang Daisy Daisy when you disabled it. But somehow I don't expect such humor from Microsoft.
Is it really possible to improve screens further, in a way that's visible to the naked eye? It's the same with high end audio system. I sure can't tell the difference between a mid price-range audio system and a bleeding edge $50,000 system.
My point is that 24 bpp ought to be enough for anyone.
You wouldn't steal a handbag! You wouldn't steal a car! You wouldn't steal a baby! You wouldn't shoot a policeman, and then steal his helmet! You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet, and send it to the policeman's grieving widow, and then steal it again!
That's true: we all swore not to talk about it, so it's not so hard to understand why did you get your facts so wrong. It was not a teleporter but a multistate cat sandbox on the Potemkin battleship. The problem was that they kept the quantum kitty litter in a Klein bottle, when they obviously should have used an infinite square well.
I cannot agree with you here. A bullet and gun will not necessarily kill you, so is that torture as well? If I needed to be subdued for whatever reason, I'd much rather be subdued via something that might leave a burn scar rather than something that will need to be retrieved from my leg using a scalpel and tweezers.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. You could argue that subduing crowds with guns is justified because flamethrowers is much worse. Or that flamethrowers is justified because nerve gas is much worse.
While I strongly oppose to subduing anyone, the best would be to use tranquilizer darts. Works like a charm on animals (appropriate irony). Fast acting and relatively pain free.
EISENSTEIN? Yeah, Eisenstein was what happened when Heisenberg was merged with Einstein in a horrible teleporter accident. The scientists involved swore to never speak of it in public, and keep the teleporter technology a secret, but I guess there is no putting back the toothpaste into the tube now.
I believe in the Supersonic Nazi Hell Creatures from Inside the Hollow Earth. If the Earth is truly "solid", how can there be Supersonic Nazi Hell Creatures from Inside the Hollow Earth? There CAN'T! Hah! So the earth MUST be hollow. So much for your wishy washy "science" and "progress".
You'd still at least have to comply to Swedish laws, an example of a notable one to Americans being that on the topic of hate speech. That's only true if they actually host it in Sweden. TPB isn't hosted in Sweden.
These are just some of the questions popping into my head: What is SAN? What does it do? How is it disruptive? Who does it disrupt? What does it store?
Can't say skimming through TFA makes it a lot clearer either.
Also, two obscure articles is media buzz?

This time it would be easier to make an atomic bomb - we will need just one half of the critical mass.
And we don't need fissile material either. Empty red bull cans are a working substitute.

Sounds like the beginning of a half-scale arms race.
Since this is a Nazi tank, which means 1940:s, the half-scale Manhattan project should start right about now.
We need a half-size nuclear non-proliferation treaty!

The point with wikipedia is being omitted altogether. In wikipedia, there is just one degree of separation.
(1) See an article.
(2) See another unrelated article.
(3) Edit articles 1 and 2 to link to each other.
Complexity O(1). You could write a (very unpopular) bot that links all wikipedia articles.

Way I see it, things even out pretty nicely: Fat people are disproportionately unlikely to get laid, and therefore don't contribute to overpopulation.

Whether something is torture is not (or rather, should not be) decided from whether or not it will actually kill you.
Undoubtedly, pulling someone's teeth out is torture, yet it's not going to kill you. The relevant part is the wanton quantities of pain involved.
