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.

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.

You mean, apart from the bit where it says

First commercial break and we are at cyber 6

?

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.

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).

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.

"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.

could you imagine if every website was paywalled?

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.

0[F] = "It's really cold out there".

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