How is it that these supposed captains of commerce can be so thin-skinned?
If you want to be the CEO of a large company, you have to win the political games.
If you want to win at office politics, you need to make sure nobody is saying anything bad about you. It's an essential skill.

When I look at those spikes, it looks like there are a bunch of things that randomly want to kill us (like asteroids, gamma ray bursts, sudden changes in sea level, whatever, a bunch of other things), and they happen somewhat randomly with a normal distribution. Because of the way a normal distribution works, it will have some periodicity (ie, on average an asteroid will hit every X years, but with a deviation).
There is nothing special about 37 million years. That is the rough analysis, and I saw nothing in the paper to convince me that is wrong.

The lawyer probably asked the guy, "Is this your account?" and he answered, "Yes" and that was the end of it. The jury and judge (and possibly even the defense lawyer) would assume he sent the messages.
This shows why the right to remain silent is so important. Hooray for the fifth amendment.
