Look further at the Subscription Agreement (para. 9):
I am not authorized to tamper with, attempt to repair, or alter any
property of Buckeye. If my use or modification of hardware, software, or equipment supplied by Buckeye requires a visit to my home for
repair or correction, a charge may apply. I am responsible for all costs incurred by Buckeye arising from a violation of this paragraph by me
or by anyone who uses the Service supplied to me.
Wouldn't the penalties for violating the agreement be civil not criminal? If so why does the FBI get involved?
The annual whole body dose limit for occupation exposure is 5 REM. The annual whole body dose limit for the general public is 0.1 REM. In the US this is governed by the Code of Federal Regulations 10 CFR 20.
Your link to question 399 on howstuffworks contains several outdated and incorrect items. I work for a diesel engine manufacturer and I would like to offer corrections.
We are currently manufacturing engines which are EPA Tier II on-road and off-road emission certified. Diesel emissions greater than other engines? I don't think so.
Engines are heavier. Yes they are, but you can make cars and truck lighter to compensate. And you can burn a wider variety of fuel in a diesel that you can in a gasoline engine (which is the real point of having this entire discussion).
Cold starting? Hah! I routinely work on packages which can be started at temperatures as low at -25 F (-32 C). This is a standard feature on most truck and industrial engines. Diesel engines can be started as cold as -50 F (-46 C) with relatively little modification. Glow plugs - don't make them, don't need them, heating the inlet air works just fine.
Expensive injectors? Who the hell ISN'T putting fuel injectors in new cars today?
Diesel not widely available? Find an interstate highway. Any truck stop or small town along the way sells diesel to truckers. Find a farming community. Where does the fuel for diesel tractors come from? If you can't find diesel in your community it's because you haven't even looked.
Isreal Kalman at teasingvictims.com has one answer:
"With an effective approach, the vast majority of teased children can be taught to stop getting mad when teased; this will make the teasing stop in almost no time, sparing them years of needless misery."
There are two ways that we see kids "go over the edge." They hurt themselves, or they hurt others. The direction of the violence doesn't matter because the cause is the same. A kid will explode when the pressure builds past the point of failure.
If we teach kids how to deal properly with their social problems, without running to an adult for help every time, and without taking up violent measures, then many of these problems will be solved.

What whole body dose did these workers receive? What dose did they receive to their reproductive organs?
I don't find the BBC article very useful without knowing the doses received.
The server should be renamed "Fortunato."
It's diesel! Soybean oil is diesel!
