Alan Turing Papers On Code Breaking Released By GCHQ 78
peetm writes "Two 70-year-old papers by Alan Turing on the theory of code breaking have been released by the government's communications headquarters, GCHQ. It is believed Turing wrote the papers while at Bletchley Park working on breaking German Enigma codes. A GCHQ mathematician said the fact that the contents had been restricted 'shows what a tremendous importance it has in the foundations of our subject.'"

I am going to The Pirate Bay now. If the papers are not there, I shall be sorely disappointed.

I'm British and I didn't do anything to him. I repeatedly point out what the British government of the time did to him - I don't care if he technically took his own life, the government killed him after all they did to him.
It should be noted it wasn't just him they did it to, they did the same thing to lots of homosexual men. People just care/notice more about it with him because he did such high profile war work. I'm sure you can find examples of anonymous homosexual men who received similar treatment and served during the war in more routine capacities.

Medium option: Paper copies
Why didn't you order the digital, downloadable option? I did, and they estimate came back to 0 (i.e. free).
That said, I still don't have a link for the download.
