Actually, you'll probably need to start with at least one college degree in meteorology or climatology.
Or, in other words, the raw data is meaningless to a non-expert in the field.

We are guided by consensus a thousand ways every single day,
but it's only climate science where people seem to get bent out of shape.

You were doing fairly well until the very end.
Bigotry aside, it's extremely naive to assume this is fundamentally motivated by religion.

The Islamists are not doing anything essentially different than what can be seen in Africa,
where you have warlords controlling large swaths of territory with no religious motivations.

Bigotry is blinding you to realpolitik.

The class action settlement is, at most, $5,408.33 per *worker
Take out the 25% cut for the lawyers, and it's $4,056.25 per *worker.

Lawyers and companies love to wave around these big figures as if it's a success, but it's actually a huge joke.

*I used 60,000, but TFA says "more than 60,000"

4k Blu-Ray drives and movies are scheduled for next year.

They'll be using H.265 compression and some new DRM.
I'll end up with one, but only if/when my current blu-ray player dies.

DIVX?

Food safety: ALWAYS bad!!
Building codes: ALWAYS bad!!
Headphones that don't electrocute me: ALWAYS bad!!
Baby cribs that don't kill babies: ALWAYS bad!!
Medicine that is safe: ALWAYS bad!!

Your position is absurd.

This will be the second time my credit card gets replaced this year.
The third time in 3 years.

I've tried to order stuff online and been forced to call in because the retailer subscribes to a service that considers me a 10/10 fraud risk.
And not because of anything I've ever done or any charges that have shown up on my bill.

Why Runners Can't Eat Whatever They Want
Studies Show There Are Heart Risks to Devil-May-Care Dietsâ"No Matter How Much You Run

TLDR: Being in insanely good shape can mask (but not prevent) the health consequences of eating three pizzas a day for years.

This seems to explain how the pictures were acquired and that it wasn't just one guy stealing them and it isn't just one guy distributing them:

It took two world wars and one cold war to get us to where we are today.
Feel free to complain about the oligopoly, but don't pretend like Boeing, North American, and Douglas were going to build the Saturn V rocket on their own dime.

"Or paying a few tens of billions to develop a huge rocket " to who?

Boeing is the prime contractor for the design, development, test and production of the launch vehicle cryogenic stages, as well as development of the avionics suite.

You had a three sentence post and two of them were full of ignorance.

Unless this is an obscure Lord of the Rings reference, I think you might have meant Oman?

The data in dispute is not subject to US law.
Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited leases and operates the data center in question.
A US judge has no jurisdiction.
QED

Microsoft's actions might seem "customer-centric," but really they're fighting for their lives.

If MS can be forced to give up European data, stored on European servers, that's game over for them.
Lawsuits and investigations will flourish in Europe, because their data protection laws are much stronger/stricter than ours.

This could kill MS's European business.

No. Just no.
The tobacco companies kept the law off them by running a FUD campaign of epic proportions.

They created and paid for think tanks to do research and write papers that refuted scientific fact.
They had an impressive lobbying organization that aggressively lobbied in Washington.
Books have been written about it based on everything that came out in court.

Once the Master Settlement Agreement was made, the tobacco lobbying and FUD money dried up.
The portions of the tobacco FUD machine that weren't dissolved, looked for other sources of income.
I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out who they're shilling for now.
