Now, there may actually be a very few people who do genuinely have the problem, but when you come to do the studies, you sample a large number of people. You do the statistics. You do not conclude that there is no link - studies like these cannot show that there is *no* link. You conclude - correctly - that there is no statistically significant link. But there still might (or might not) be a real problem for a very few people.
This is like people who claim they have ESP and magical abilities. If there were even ONE legitimate case, they could simply walk into a casino and repeatedly win multi-million dollar wins until every casino on the planet bans them.
All it takes is ONE "electrosensitive" who can consistently answer yes/no to whether an antenna is broadcasting. Much like ESP and other supernatural abilities, so far they do not exist.

That logic seems rather bizarre to me.
They send you a download. They DRM the file so that it's CRIMINAL for anyone else to make a player for that file type. And their music player deletes the file after playing it once.
So your argument is that DRM is ok because it's DRM'ed?

The server just makes sure to stream music only to genuine apps
You seem to have made a typo. There's not supposed to be a "g" in "DRM'.

Further, if this was in existence a few decades ago, perhaps we would have nipped Scientology in the bud before it landed in the UK.
If it were in existence ~1400 years ago, perhaps we would have nipped Islam in the bud.
If it were in existence ~2000 years ago, perhaps we would have nipped Christianity in the bud.
And I wonder how many readers agreed with my first line, then threw a shit-fit when they got to my second line.

Do murderers get their religion before or after committing murder?
For rape and other sexual offenses, research did specifically find religion as a strong "before" factor.
I think there was a specific "before" finding for murder as well, but my recollection on that isn't 100%.

Yeah, because, as we all know, the internet is filled with all sorts of reliable information!
Unlike those bronze age oral histories and iron age letters!

My first hit for "Global warming"+"times faster" yields this link: As the Earth moved out of ice ages over the past million years, the global temperature rose a total of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius over about 5,000 years. In the past century alone, the temperature has climbed 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.
All the opinions you mentioned are, at best, poorly informed.

Your sarcasm was fully warranted.
They "discovered" that the dissolution rate is essentially equal to surface area over volume.
For their next experiment they will 3D print it as a loose powder and see if that has any effect.

it's a real shame that the voyager doesn't include a mandelbrot set.
They were going to include one, but they were unable to complete it by the launch date.

indicate to the scanning computer that the party being screened is a female. When the screener does this, the scanning machine will indicate an anomaly in the genital area and this allows (the male TSA screener) to conduct a pat-down search of that area.
That's odd, when I went through the screening and they mis-entered me into the scanner as female, it didn't report any anomaly.

Full sentences harder. They verbs.
That why liberal arts and humanities important, otherwise sentences would no verbs.
