UK Gov't Plans To Push "Emergency" Surveillance Laws 147
beaker_72 (1845996) writes The Guardian reports that the UK government has unveiled plans to introduce emergency surveillance laws into the UK parliament at the beginning of next week. These are aimed at reinforcing the powers of security services in the UK to force service providers to retain records of their customers phone calls and emails. The laws, which have been introduced after the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that existing laws invaded individual privacy, will receive cross-party support and so will not be subjected to scrutiny or challenged in Parliament before entering the statute books. But as Tom Watson (Labour backbench MP and one of few dissenting voices) has pointed out, the ECJ ruling was six weeks ago, so why has the government waited until now to railroad something through. Unless of course they don't want it scrutinised too closely.

It's both a sugar AND an alcohol. It's been available in powdered form for a long time. I do not believe it can intoxicate humans, so perhaps not considered "Alcohol" by most people, but the article didn't mention ethanol by name.

5 button Simplex locks have just over 1000 combinations... meaning on average you can find the right one in about 500 tries. At 2 seconds per try (which is actually rather slow after you get the hang of it), iterating through takes about 15 minutes to get in. If one knows the general pattern used by listening one time (two sets of presses) this further reduces the search space.
I hope your daughter never has to be left alone more than 15 minutes.
If they had only used a 6'th button on a standard Simplex lock...
