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...

If you look at the data they released, they only gave the password hashes, not the passwords themselves. There were no clear text passwords in the database. That said, one of them has been "cracked" to "ppp". Its an admin password, hopefully it required being logged in from the intranet or something.

No, F=kx (well for a spring) if you have a larger extension, you have a larger force. I assume they mean that the legs need to stretch more than the torso to fit in the human occupant, thereby giving a greater tension. The suit isn't deformed by a fixed force, but by a fixed extension to fit the person.

you were not treated by homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies have zero molecules inside them of the active ingredient. They "work" using the "memory" of water. If you were lacking in some minerals, you wouldn't get them from a homeopathic remedy. You might well have been treated by a mineral supplement, but that's actually a real cure for some things, unlike homepathy which is only a cure for dehydration / lack of sugar depending on if you take it in water or sugar tablet form.

Waking a person unnecessarily should not be considered a capital crime. For a first offense, that is.
