Spammers Announce World War III
schliz writes with the stub of a disheartening article at IT News: "Hackers are deluging web users with malware-laden spam claiming that World War III has started following a US invasion of Iran. Security experts warned [yesterday] that spam emails with subject lines including 'Third World War has begun,' '20000 US Soldiers in Iran,' and 'US Army crossed Iran's borders' have been intercepted. The emails contain links to a malicious webpage that displays what appears to be a video player showing the mushroom cloud of a nuclear explosion."
FUD, FUD, FUD.
Modern wind turbines are neither shaped like a propeller, nor do they operate at high speeds. Consequently, they don't make much noise, either.
Try living NEXT to one, as I have, and then you can cry FUD. Also, are you claiming that this supposedly low speed they operate at won't kill everything that comes in contact with it? Don't be absurd.
I just love how the alternative energy crowd, the same people that have a coronary over things like the Alaskan pipeline disturbing the delicate wildlife movements and oil spills that supposedly destroy every pristine shoreline known to man every 3 seconds, have noooo problem with snatching up miles of public (or at times private) land and plopping down hundreds or thousands of giant propellers and then pretend that it doesn't have any impact on that same delicate wildlife. Or they find a way to shrug it off. How convenient.
