The Amiga had virtual desktops in 1985.

I know so very many people in IT with degrees, in pre-law, history, theology, psychology, teaching, economics that I think the question is humorous. The positions held including development, admin, system architecture, management, operations.

absolutely false, look it up, in ancient times CO2 increase followed global warming

So THAT's all the gunk around my router. Silly me, I thought it's dust.

So where is the line where it is ok to break the law for law enforcement? What crime do they have to prosecute so they can ignore any and all rights you have?

Well, it costs multiple thousands for the laser, so I guess after the first use you know for sure which ones your enemy will field.

It would seem that we have reached an agreement. If you need me, I'll be in the Midwest.

Umm... simply come with a set of glasses and put on the ones your enemy wears?

You're close, Voyager was so that both copies of that godawful song were flung out of the solar system to the stars.

If your poorly constructed argument were correct, then the Earth's temperature would be increasing year upon year. However it is not, as the warmest year in recent records is 1998. We know from the fossil record that increased carbon dioxide levels are a response to global warming, not a driver

After all, you could turn the cops laser right back at him...

Oh personally I think collisions between people who don't look where they're walking and run into each other are highly necessary. Some people need to feel that they're acting stupidly.

I'm done fighting, arguing and whatnot. I offer to you what I offered everyone so far: I move inland, you move to the coast. If you're right, you get a wonderful piece of seaside real estate. If I am right, I get to shoot you if you try to escape drowning.

Deal?

That's pretty much what would happen in most countries in Europe. I am not aware of a "poisoned well" provision in our laws over here. If there's evidence against you and it's neither fabricated ("planted") nor required an incentive from law enforcement so you commit the crime (agent provocateur), it's a-ok to use it against you.

What keeps police in check is that they essentially have a job for life once they're in, they get a LOAD of job perks (official ones and "less official ones") and breaking the law to get evidence is almost certainly the end of that rather comfy job, and even if you don't get locked up (with all the nice guys that you got in there first...), what's left for you is some sort of mall cop crap job.

Seems to work really well.
