    Bravo. All this "drone love" to the point where the operators are the last in line to be held accountable is ridiculous. There are some guidelines for safe flying here that make perfect sense. No excuses for violating them.

    Offshore wind is done only because of the favorable winds, not because of land costs or availability. Solar doesn't need to go offshore, it only adds to the cost. If you've ever been around ocean mist, you know how quickly it covers clear surfaces with deposits.

    Good. Here is some accurate math. Number of bullshit nuclear related sources linked to by mdsolar > 10 x number of credible sources linked to my mdsolar.

    Yes, I think "if true" the evidence is compelling that there may be porn on those HDDs. If it is true, don't you agree? That does not reflect an opinion regarding the attempts to get the person to give up his password. What is or is not on the HDD is irrelevant to that, don't you agree?

    math may be good, but supporting evidence and science behind it are what really matters. But, hey, you have no standards when it comes to what you link to, we all know it here.

    The only reason that would matter is if you are, as I stated, presuming him guilty before a being convicted in a court of law. If not, then it would be irrevelant, and hence not valuable to the discussion. Right or wrong?

    Wrong. I like to see completeness and accuracy when people are discussing topics. There were misconceptions posted regarding what evidence was in play, I simply tried to fill that gap. If that information is irrelevant to whatever point you would like to make, then ignore it, yet for some reason you seem to react defensively. Why would simple information need such a reaction? I can't answer that and frankly I don't care.

    You have such a nack for finding sources with great bias and no credibility. Of course, credibility isn't important when it comes to 'the cause'.

  14. Re:New world order on All Belgians To Be Given Iodine Pills In Case Of Nuclear Accident (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    Do you know what energy source kills the most people, and causes the most cancers? Answer = THE SUN. Compared to nuclear, solar energy has killed multitudes more people. But we are not afraid to go out into the sun, and yet some folks quiver in fear at the prospect of low dose radiation from a nuclear plant, even and accident. Chernobyl pales in comparison to those killed by solar energy.

    Sadly, this is true. Its an interesting aspect of human behavior, fear things we are not familiar with.

    Care to reference any credible source about these deformities? In reality, they are having a hard time finding any adverse health effects to the populations around Chernobyl. I know, you will call that just a conspiracy and that all the deformities are kept secret, only to be revealed by some guy with a website.. right?

    I pointed it out because some folks here were not considering it and seemed to thing the sister was the ONLY evidence they had. You just interpreted it as a defense because you are viewing it through an opinionated lens.

    I remember installing itunes on one of my desktops so I could use a gift card and get some music, I've never been so frustrated with software in my life, from account signups through music access, it just wasn't worth all that effort to listen to 20 bucks worth of music.

    If they have all that other evidence, then any evidence on the laptop is simply "cumulative", and is not necessary to obtaining a guilty verdict.

    No. Evidence enough to serve a warrant is not the same as evidence enough to convict. Not even close.

    Sorry, I chose the wrong words. I was speaking about the evidence, that its more than just the word of the sister. That was what I meant by accusation, with should have been clear from the context of the response, but I guess it wasn't.

    If the files are the only real evidence, then there cannot be that much harm.

    Harm doesn't matter. Its still illegal. Harm would make it worse, definitely. You are making a case against child pornography laws as written, not about the validity of the evidence.
