There are plenty of young people pranking each other by hijacking their friend's accounts without this! Leaving yourself logged in on a laptop/phone is considered permission to update your status to something "hilarious". I don't think this is going to increase hijacking.

In all chemical bonds the ground state has non-zero energy which results in a vibration of the two atoms. They will vibrate backwards and forwards forever as there is no lower quantum state to lose energy to. This doesn't really seem all that different, other than they're making a rotating non-zero ground state.

Just because someone has Islam on his facebook page doesn't make him an Islamic terrorist. Were all the school shootings in the states Christian terrorists (Crusaders?) because they had Christian on their facebook page? We don't currently know what the brother's motivations were. Perhaps it was do with Chechen independence. Perhaps it was to do with religion. Perhaps they are just mentally ill individuals with an axe to grind with their local community. We don't know at the moment.

The great thing about text is you can put it anywhere anything visual can be placed! You can but a tinyurl.com/acmeadd on a billboard, on a streetsign, on a television image.... (And its still quicker to type than to get the camera all lined up to QR code something you pass on a bus.)

They can do, but they still wouldn't know the password itself to be able to log in again without you. Possibly there would be a mechanism to enter a distress code which would then summon the police and lock your account to a honeybox instead? But then you could have that with other password mechanisms.

If you've seized the system already, then the passwords might as well be in plaintext. With this system users can't choose their own password, so knowing their password at once website won't help you break into their accounts on other websites, since they cannot be the same (except by chance.)

If you want to get an extra hour of daylight in the evening....get up earlier? Why does the government have to mandate a change, schools / jobs in England can just start 1 hour earlier if they want the sunlight, and the rest of the UK can carry on as before. Problem solved! With on demand TV, its not like the TV schedules matter any more...

All internet blocking will do is increase the demand for VPN services, surely? Kids can just VPN out of the ISPs control and get all the porn they want, Adults will probably rather VPN for porn than officially be on a "want porn" list. What happens with false-positives? Many websites get blocked by net-nanny et al. which aren't porn. With a filter, you can just add a manual exception when that happens. What do you do with an ISP-level block? Will the Sun be blocked due to page3? What about artistic photos involving nudity which aren't erotic? This service should be opt-in rather than opt-out...

The difficult we do today; the impossible takes a little longer.
