Maybe, but there is still the possibility that some series of weird Twilight Zone circumstances caused him to be in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong gear, and it was actually someone else who committed the crime. Dark theater, mass confusion/chaos, it's entirely within the realm of possibility IMO. There are serious penalties on the line here, so minds need to be kept open and every single bit of possible evidence examined.
Bingo. If you define evolution as the process by which you maximize your species' survivability, then bacteria are WAY more evolved than we will ever be, quite counter-intuitively. It wouldn't take much to rid the universe of humans, but try that with bacteria. Even if the Earth exploded or something, bacteria would ride on the debris to some other planet and colonize, almost guaranteed. And they do it without intelligence, complex biological structures, or technology. We think we're so advanced evolutionarily, but really we're one of the least adapted species on the planet, in terms of survivability.
Don't assume that just because it's bad science it must absolutely be wrong. Bad science can still be right, once in a while... Not saying this is one of those cases, but still better to not jump to conclusions, otherwise you shut the door on possibilities you should have explored more thoroughly
Nobody is going to destroy the country with cargo containers. Maybe they could take out one or two coastal cities, but that's really just suicide for them.
From the point of view of most Europeans where guns are generally banned you all look crazy.
Yeah, seems pretty crazy to not willfully allow yourself to be setup for enslavement. I'm sure if everyone owned guns, things wouldn't have gone any differently for the Nazis or Milosevic or any other modern tyrannies..
No, I'm pretty sure you do own the airspace above your land up to a certain altitude, but you certainly don't own the airspace adjacent to your property, which is what this bill seems to be aimed at... If you don't want stray photons incriminating you, don't release them into adjacent areas.

What does the surface of the sphere represent? Is that the edge of the universe?
This was the work of a video gamer
Fuck you. Your detective work is the work of an imbecile.
At that point, you could have installed something far worse then adware

The idea of "saving the earth" is a good one, but on the other hand, the earth will be fine long after humans inhabit it.
Way to be totally human-centric. I know it's hard to believe, but there is other shit living on this planet besides humans.

ANY source of energy other than fossil combustibles deserves to be promoted
How is combusting methane better than combusting other hydrocarbons?
Don't encourage him.

All I've seen is criticism of the analysis techniques involved. No real "proof" either way, just a bunch of opinions...
True, but AC was claiming that nukes are only good for deterrence, which is wrong in certain contexts.

Deterrence falls apart as soon as you have a way to disable the enemy's missiles
Nuclear warheads are pretty much only good to make other people not want to attack you because they fear getting nuked
Sort of wrong. Think a little deeper next time. If you have a sufficiently advanced "Star Wars" system they become a practical offensive tactic.
There is no threat of action, merely a warning to the US that NK will defend itself.
How is a preemptive strike defensive?
How should copyright holders enforce their rights
Eating a steaming turd would be a good start.
i always thought it was just an old wives tale that if you release your coolant you go blind..
you just made me hungry for chinese food
It's not THEIR government that people were trying to defend themselves against.
I think the Jews might disagree.

Ok, but that was like 20 years ago. I don't really view Carmack as relevant to gaming anymore. Rocketry, maybe...
You can, you just have to do it the way the FBI "arrested" the victims in the Waco, TX compound
You own the land not the air and space above it.
