You got a lot wrong in your comment, but let's consider only the thing concerning nuclear power generation:
- with all the mining, processing and delivering of fuel plus the ridiculous amounts of concrete required for safe reactor building the CO2e/W of nuclear is approaching that of coal. - nuclear power is generated by huge units, 100's MW, so when they go offline (and they do, eventually) you need a lot of backup power, and it can't be nuclear since it has to be available at moments notice. - there are limited places to build nuclear plants, since they require lots of cool, clean water to operate, and those are becoming rare with global warming I so hope that the luddites would stop pushing for old solutions and would embrace new technology.

Which one you have difficulties with:
- CO2 is a "green house" gas, it traps heat - Humans are pumping it to the atmosphere 40 billion tonnes per year

The logical step from those two to the Antropogenic in AGW is so small and obvious that when Arrhenius figured out the first one and knew the second one 120 years ago, he could make it without any evidence or measurement.
In the realm of physics it's easy to figure things out way before you can get any evidence...

"Rewarding employers" does nothing in the long term, and only 'distorts the markets' in the short term, so it should have never been used, albeit it seems to be the idiocy du jour.
Think about it: if there's no purchasing power, no matter how much the employer is rewarded, there's no cash flow to keep the business viable. On the other hand, if there is purchasing power and thus business, the employer doesn't need subsidies to survive.
The best thing to do to national economy is to tax/destroy wealth at the top and create it at the bottom.
That, and tax/moderate the financial markets regressively, but in relation to time between purchase and sale -- and start from 99.5% or so regressing to 15% in about ten years, forcing investors to care about the long term health of companies and aiming for stable and predictable markets.
Oh, and cut the copyright to 25 years from first publication. But that's negotiable.

Sorry, but just for clarification: are you against roll calls, too? It is "location tracking", after all. RFID is but a mere technical extension of already existing tracking, is it not?

In your ideal world, could I live my life at the same time as a productive member of society and yet completely anonymous to everybody else?

Exactly! This is pretty much what the paternity tests do -- they can rule out paternity 100%, but only give a "good possibility" of fatherhood.
I gather the police will have to have other lines of supporting evidence, too. Which, I assume, are easy to come by if the guy did it. There will be inconsistencies in his story, places he shouldn't have been, places he should have been etc.

It's not that slippery a slope. At least, where I live, neither DNA collected for any research purpose or fingerprints for passports can not be used in criminal investigation, no matter what. That's the law.
Now, it can be argued that the law can e changed anytime "the government" feels like it, but then again, by the same logic the law could also be changed to require everybody to wear AV-recording devices 24/7 at the convenience of "the government"...

You are right, and we have all suffocated!! Or, maybe you are not right...

Oh, it's even easier. You just show people using their computers with only a mouse while having to hold the screen up with the other hand. After three seconds, when the obvious moronity strikes the audience, you show a pure touchscreen phone, and a voice ask "Who ever came up with such a stupid idea?"

Then, maybe, we could get our portable computers with some decent input devices...

The grandparent is a marvelous example of so called sceptics angaging in no scepticism at all, while the parent is a beatiful example of journalists making the actual effort to check, and doublecheck the sources. Too bad one cannot argue a person out of a posititon he didn't argue himself into...

Especially so when dealing with pseudoscience like economics, where any explanation that justifies greed and sosiopathy is considered valid.

The day the 'market' agrees to have no secrets at all is the day I might agree they need no regulation other than consumers doing infomed choices.

Of course, keeping the sosiopathic bastards honest to that degree will require immensive gevernment interference...

Sorry, but AGW is a physical, observable phenomenom, not a prediction of it's possible consequences. Please do try to keep the two as separate issues, otherwise there's a chance that you reject the observation because you don't like one possible consequence prediction...
Or in other words, the 97% agree that AGW is the best explanation for the atmospheric observations scientists have made since the end of the 19th century. 3% disagree, but can't offer any other framework that explains all observations, or can make predictions.

Prove beyond any doubt that targeted advertisement is annoying, creepy and extremely counterproductive??

Hear, hear!
Touchscreens are great for ereaders, ok for angry birdish stuff but make pretty much everything else a PITA. On the other hand, after a generation of users forced into the captivity of "mouse only" interface, I believe there will be a CLI revival for the next generation...

Nope, the evidence was submitted as a response to Apple's argument that Samsung's earlier design proved they have a track record of copying from Apple. Since the product mentioned precedes Apple's product which Apple failed to mention, Samsung attempted to bring forth the documentation, which the judge dismissed.
Samnsung team decided it was time to start managing the public opinion, whihc has so far being left completely on the hand of Apple, to the extent that educated persons like you have already condemned Samsung... Even though we know Apple has not paid for using Samsung's technology in their products, but we don't know if Samsung indeed blatantly copied the form of Apple's product, and whether the latter actually breaks any law -- it doesn't in most industries!
