I'm going out on a limb that he was kidding. He found Slashdot.

I'm not sure I'd want my city associated with sixteen straight years of losing seasons.

I communicate through other means than Facebook. Am I alone in this?

About to outnerd you, but it was Paul's son Leto II who turned into the worm. Paul was the blind Prophet who got knifed by his sister's guards.

The problem is when you feed starving people, they tend to make lots more starving babies.

Apparently you've never been made it to the South.

Patents like this are anti-capitalist. 'A learning management system that allows a single user login to have multiple roles'. Great invention. Slap a patent on it, gotta protect that ambition to invent!

You do not have faith in God, that is what makes you an atheist. But you have faith in that very belief, that there is no God.

I have no faith in either answer.

I'm not sure what you don't get. I believe there *may* be a 'god'. I also believe there *may not* be a 'god'. Sometimes the answer, "I don't know", is the most rational. Until I see proof that god exists/doesn't exist, I will remain rational, and say "I don't know". If that takes forever, so be it.

Who knows, maybe Jesus descends from Heaven on a walkway of light, or the skies rip apart and show us Marduk battling Tiamat. Lacking the ability to define or know god *now* doesn't prove we will always lack that ability. Maybe we will find out when you die. Maybe we won't. I don't know.

The difference is intent. Paying someone to do something illegal would show cause of intent to commit an criminal action. Techs snooping around, while a breach of privacy, is on a different level entirely.

Of course, if anyone reads any private investigator novels (I enjoy Robert Crais enormously), you'll notice that often the PI isn't bound by the same restrictions that law enforcement agencies are in regards to obtaining evidence. A lot of the legwork can be done by the PI, often illegally, and a tip by the PI to the cops is enough to establish probable cause.
