Possession based crimes, it was more than 20 years ago. The plea had it done as a minor, so the records are sealed so it dosn't affect his job options, and I'm not going to screw with that by naming him.
I know of a guy who had the FBI show up right on the morning of his 18th birthday; they were just waiting until they could charge him as an adult without question.
Ironically, they should have waited one more day, as his birth certificate showed he was born in the evening... settled with a plea bargain, so it never went to trial to resolve that question.
I was disqualified from a competition run by FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) when I was in high school because I scored so well I must have cheated.
It was multiple choice on 'Computer Concepts' I scored 98/100, second highest was 76/100.
That was pretty bad... but worse was the next year, I tried again... and was disqualified because I 'won' the previous year.
I ended up dropping out of school and getting a GED later because of the stress of it.
“The South Dakota fair is close and gives our kids another opportunity to present their work,” Scribner said. “I think that was some of our motivation, and it did give our kids another chance to qualify.”
The _Motivation_ was to Present the work; the extra chance to Qualify was a side-effect, but not the motivation; according to that statement.
Probably the drive they have decrypted is his boot/os/application drive, and all they have is the caches from web browsers, maybe an index file from an image viewer, etc. (does MS have a law enforcement backdoor for BitLocker?)
The bulk of the stuff was probably shuffled to a better encrypted volume (like with TrueCrypt)
The difference is between "Only looked at once accidentally, then deleted", vs. "Save ALL the pr0n!"
Having something is your browser cache is hard to prove 'possession', since you might have downloaded the images from a page that formatted them to 0x0 pixels in the background without your knowledge or consent; or like was found on a local government machine, a cache of porn via open ftp server on a rooted fileserver.
Reading that wikipedia link it's about a claim of innocence, not proven innocence.
Hearsay about a man who can't defend because he's dead vs. a witness, a confession, and the killers Social Security card next to the victim is pretty weak.
And yet the US is adamant in it's right to enforce it's laws on internet presences that are not based in the US because they are used by US citizens. You can't have it both ways.
More importantly, just cause Facebook is based in the US doesn't mean that's the only law it has to worry about if it does business in other countries. You aren't going to allow foreign owned companies to ignore US laws while operating in the US.
The only way this comment would make any sense would be if Facebook specifically blocked anyone who wasn't a US citizen from using their service. They not only don't do that, they actively advertise and monetize in other countries.
You don't seem to understand how America works; we arn't just satisfied protecting ourselves from each other, we need to police the world, it's our responsibility as the best country in the world.

I'll be damned if the government forces me to spend 30K on swapping out a new engine, then more on inspections and re-certification of the aircraft.
I'm not questioning that figure (because I know it's true) but why do airplane engines cost so friggin much?
Compare to the price of mid-air failure.

What about combining the two? Molten Salt closer to the reactor/radiation, cycling to heat water, which then drives the turbines?
That guy sounds like a real Dongle.
But it's not rape if there is consent, given by passing through the door...
That's EULA logic, right?
Yeah but only the '1%' will be able to afford them anyway.
Isn't Replies appearing top or bottom a client viewer option?
Microsoft would just release their own Linux distro; the only distro 'Office 20XX for Microsoft Linux' works properly with.

I think you misread it.

But guns are illegal in NYC you silly person. So nobody gets shot there.
Monsanto will allow it to get banned as soon as their next, newly patented, product is ready for the market.
Obsolete robots should be programmed to pace suspected minefields until their mechanisms wear out.
2 birds, 1 stone.
Add live streaming and betting pools, and it might even be profitable.

(For the record, I am against the death penalty)
It's a living.

I'm not quite sure how much of that is sarcasm.
Offer him a free PS4.

I'm imagining Google getting into the Taxi business. With no drivers at all, just per-passenger screens showing ads.
In only 7 years I will be able to stop clicking!
No, in seven years it'll no longer be patented, so everyone can do it.
