The short answer is that a national judge's ruling doesn't directly affect other countries, although it could indirectly affect them if it leads to an appeal to a European court and their ruling clarifies the law in a way which is incompatible with other countries' implementations.
The longer answer: EU law works by means of "directives" which each country then implements in its national law. Each directive comes with a deadline to implement it, although typically most countries miss the deadline. But in principle the European Commission can sue a country which fails to implement a directive, and fines can be levied. The issue here is that the Dutch implementation of the Data Retention Directive went further than the minimal requirements, and the judge has ruled it incompatible with other European law. (It's not clear from either of the articles whether that was the Data Protection Directive or the European Convention on Human Rights*).
The two main options now would be that the Dutch government appeals to a European court (the European Court of Justice if it was the Data Protection Directive that formed the basis of the ruling, or the European Court of Human Rights if it was the ECHR); or that it passes a replacement law which sticks closer to the Data Retention Directive. If it doesn't do either of those, it would be failing to fulfil its obligation to implement that directive.
* Not EU law, but I think all EU countries are members of the European Council, and the most recent constitutional treaty of the EU commits the EU as an organisation to acceding to the ECHR.
That's an interesting idea, but I'm afraid that it's wrong for the simple reason that the venue doesn't have its own parking spaces. People arriving by car would have to park in the road or in a near-by shopping centre.
Perhaps, the lady is suspected of being a Basque separatist or some such...
It's more likely that she's suspected of being a Catalan separatist, but TFA doesn't give any hints as to what cause(s) she promotes or even what her name is. She's female, 37 years old, and lives in Barcelona. (Incidentally, I find it somewhat strange that Jacob Appelbaum, and thus also the copy-paste summary, talks about "the local media". It's local to where she lives, not to where the conference is taking place and the device was discovered).
It's not that easy to purchase a burner phone in Spain. You can't legally buy a phone contract (regular billing or pay-as-you-go) without supplying proof of identity for the national register.
Any website that mentions 'Turanean' is now pseudo science -even though at one point in time it was an academically acceptable term.
I've never heard the word before, but based on the first couple of pages of Google results I think you need to qualify it a bit, because it seems to be quite heavily used as a geographical descriptor in describing the range of plants and animals. (I'm assuming that's not the usage which you think is pseudoscience, but I could be wrong).
"Alan Turing's notes" is somewhat overselling it. They're not talking about a white paper: Bletchley would have produced hundreds of sheets of these kind of scrap workings every day, so they were genuinely worthless then. They're only worth anything now because all of the rest were destroyed. To put it in perspective, they're more valuable to us than a shopping list from that era would be, but less valuable than a shopping list from ancient Sumeria would be.
No, I can't imagine that. In particular, I can't imagine paywalling my own site (or putting ads on it). I remember the days before advertising was big on the web, when content was provided by universities and hobbyists. Comparing the web now with the web then, I suspect that the death of online advertising would harm clickbait sites more than ones with valuable content.
The US wasn't the first adopter of mobile telephony. Japan and a group of European countries got there first. And the major carriers in the US no longer support the first system, so there's no good reason to be "stuck with" the mistakes.
What I'd like to see in the abstract is an explanation of what the submitter thinks "ironically" means. Maybe Mark Whittington is Alanis Morrisette's alias.
People have been talking about using spam for steganography for a long time too. spammimic.com predates 9/11, and I'm not even sure it's the earliest example.
Because for some strange reason a masters degree in computing wasn't considered necessary to teach 5-year-olds when they started their careers. Crazy, isn't it?
There's another fairly major point: although the title of this/. thread talks about "computing teachers", the summary talks about "primary and secondary teachers", and the original press release talks about "teachers responsible for teaching computing". Primary school teachers, who were already expected to know everything about everything, are now (PDF warning) expected to teach programming, debugging, networking, etc. There's no particular reason why people who signed up to teach 5 to 7 year-olds ten years ago would be more likely than the general populace to be good at debugging.
As the parent of a Straight ‘A’ gifted child I can say for a fact Hard Work is the most important factor.
As a former straight A gifted child, I can say that you're wrong. Maybe hard work is the most important factor for your daughter, but you can't extrapolate from her to every successful student.
The only year in my education in which I worked hard was my first year at university, partly because I didn't know how good I was relative to my peers and wanted to compete, partly because a quarter of my course was material which I did actually need to work at, and partly because my one-on-one for that material was with someone who really pushed me. When I finished in the top three and won a scholarship, I didn't feel the need to prove myself in the second and third years, and I had more freedom to choose courses which I found easy. The most important factors for my academic success were intuition, a memory which was good at retaining the things that matters for the subjects I chose, and curiosity.
Just to be completely clear: I'm not knocking hard work. The person who finished first in my course in the second year was a friend whom I met up with once or twice a week to explain the things they hadn't understood in lectures. I think they worked quite hard, and maybe I could have finished first if I'd worked harder. But I preferred to spend about twenty hours a week working and have lots of time to participate in various student societies, because university is about more than grades. (I still got first class honours, so I didn't judge it too badly!)
5737.01... is 30% larger than Earth, Mullally says. That’s good news, because scientists here reported yesterday that planets more than 1.6 times the mass of Earth are unlikely to be dense rocky worlds like ours
I'm not seeing the good news. If it has a similar density to Earth, it will have a mass about 1.3^3 ~= 2.2 times the mass of Earth.

Is filesharing that high on your list of things to do on holiday?
The idea in GPP was to call the burner phone with the SIM, not to put the SIM in the burner phone, so it does require both phone and contract.
That's an interesting idea, but I'm afraid that it's wrong for the simple reason that the venue doesn't have its own parking spaces. People arriving by car would have to park in the road or in a near-by shopping centre.

It doesn't solve the general problem of SEO, but for the particular case you mention adding filetype:pdf to your search will help a lot.

The Siberia Times article talks about a plan to put "not less than four seismic stations" in the region.
On the mobile layout, only the first line of your comment was visible, and I thought you were going to say something about Bill Millin.
Without an understanding of programming, you can't reliably tell how similar a prior project is.

I think that should say 68F. At least the phase changes of water are relatively objective.

Presenting a counterexample to a general statement is not extrapolation.
