That's a really good analogy to use, and resonates with me a lot (ADHD-PI). Thanks for this, I'm going to use it.

It's not different. As in: both are fine. It's not a crime to link to a site that links to content; TPB itself hosts no content. Linking is not a crime. https://thepiratebay.org

Hundreds of Comcast users , to be clear. And that's just the article's random number, I doubt there's anything backing it up.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the vast majority of cases of hypercalcaemia caused by excessive D consumption involve daily doses of 40-50,000 IU? I'm sure I've read this before. If 20,000 IU is high, 50,000 IU mus

> It is too slow to load many such large images automatically. The images don't all load automatically, though; an image only begins to load when you click on it individually, opening it within the viewer, on a Google Images results

Are you sure you're actually clicking the images first, so they're brought up in the image viewer box with the other options available, and then right-clicking -> View Image/Open Image/whatever? If you are, then tha

All images you click on are fully loaded, images you don't click on are Google-hosted thumbnails. No exceptions.

Do you? I don't. I'm using google.co.uk on PC, with both Chrome and Firefox, and can always freely get the image this way. You do have to wait for the image to have fully loaded, mind, but otherwise it's quite literally emb

:) The BBC are usually quite good with directly linking their sources, when it's reports or studies (or anything in PDF form). The Guardian are similarly good in that regard, too.

You can still right-click -> View Image/Open image in new tab/etc., of course, but I do agree the Show Image button was handy.

> How nice of the BBC guys to provide not the source. The article's second sentence is the source - a link to the PDF - and it has been in the article since it was published.

Thanks. My first question was "Government? Which government?"

Yes, scare quotes. That is what scare quotes are.

I think the Dunning–Kruger effect is fairly well established, so I'm not sure why you'd put "researchers" in scare quotes.

But... Skype does remember conversation history?

Yes, more people than ever.

Temporarily, presumably because they now have free access? At least amongst those who simply want access in the short-term, and aren't hardcore campaigners for the cause.

Their proof-of-concept only reads memory from the browser it's running within, right? Violating browser sandboxing, yes, but does that mean it would also (theoretically) be able to access the memory of other programs?

Is it? If it identifies itself as an advertisement, I see no distinction.

Really? I've heard of the FBI becoming involved in the investigation of a crime seemingly due solely to its large monetary impact.

Their journalism generally is very good, certainly better than the majority of British newspapers and tabloids. Their opinion articles, however, range from decent to atrocious - I tend to ignore the 'Comment is Free' section now,
