"...you are presumed to be innocent."

In the eyes of the law, sure. Not in the eyes of other people, not if he ended up basically saying "Yeah, I did it." in print somewhere.

Virgin offers a monthly unlimited plan for $10 (on top of a monthly minute plan). $5 for 1000 texts which seems eminently reasonable. Sure, you have to pay for the phone outright, but you OWN the phone outright, too. And can switch from prepaid to monthly when the month is up. Or vice versa. Or just buy unlimited texts and pay $.10 a minute for calls if you mostly text. No shenanigans yet, anyway. You're limited to dumbphones and a couple of okay qwerty phones for selection though.

Costs a lot for time to run scans, though. Not sure how much a real autopsy costs, but a virtual one is probably more expensive.

And if they DID back Tor, would you trust it?

can do this too. Haxe is a pretty neat language, it can compile to swf, Windows exe and iPhone. Plus you can run the compiled iphone apps in the simulator. Haxe is also significantly better than Actionscript 3.0 even if you just use it to write for the flash player- it can access the fast memory functions you can get with Android, and supports inline functions.

Because we don't know who ELSE has stocks of the disease and might want to turn it into a weapon. Plus the more we learn about infectious disease in general the better we can fight it. Anyway how does that link have anything to do with it? The more they vaccinate people, the less likely smallpox will come back. Manufacturing vaccines has NOTHING to do with having live, viable stocks of the actual disease. Which do exist, but that's a totally different issue.

Water absorbs the radio waves you need to use to triangulate your position, so GPS doesn't work underwater. They put GPS tags on whales and things, but they only work when the whale surfaces.

Unless you're using 3 and 5 for your factors, I think you're safe for now...

The Clean Air Act mandates lots of things vis-a-vis pollution, and it did stand up in court. Interstate commerce clause-> CO2 travels across state lines, has effects on state economies (global warming->fires & hurricanes). At least that's one way you could justify it.

"had they done this and the results turned out differently, they'd have to explain why this effect only happens to heterosexual men"
Because heterosexual men are attracted to women, and homosexual men.... aren't?

They sure do need water though. At least for metabolic processes. Some can survive without it, but only in a sort of crystallized form that just sits there inert until it's put back into water.

I guess the hope would be they would weather solar flares by either burrowing underground, or using their water supply as a shield. It wouldn't help them if they were caught outside, but I guess that's a risk they'd take.

Yeah, and they also probably expected to have children, make money, and die a hard-working and successful man. NOT going to happen on Mars. Plus back then colonists were egged on by promises of a new Eden- we know darn well that going to Mars will be a hell of a hard time. Not that there weren't colonists who didn't know exactly what they were getting into.

Plus do you trust Congress to keep funding going to keep you alive? What if a war breaks out, you'll be totally screwed.

Not if they die, I don't know, inside their pressurized lair? Plenty of time to rot before the air leaks out.
