---"atheist accepts that there is no deity on blind faith and without further investigation"
not true at all. allow me to present myself as someone who has studied the synoptic gospels in far more detail than (and I'm guessing now) 98% of people who call themselves christian.
Re stating 'I Know', Richard Dawkins has a great thought experiment on this.
-Statement: There is a perfect Victorian china tea set orbiting the sun in an orbit about half way between the sun and the earth.
That analogy is known as Russell's teapot, and it originated from Bertrand Russell.
Since I am in EU, it also means US can't just randomly get data that doesn't belong to them, ie. for people from other countries. Frankly, EU and European countries take privacy a lot more seriously, for historical reasons too.
I'm pretty sure that the NSA doesn't much care about the European Privacy Seal.
From the FAQ:
European Privacy Seal On July 14th 2008 Ixquick received the first European Privacy Seal from European Data Protection Supervisor Mr. Peter Hustinx. The Seal officially confirms the privacy promises we make to our users. It makes Ixquick the first and only EU-approved search engine. Both EU Commissioner Viviane Reding and Dr.Thilo Weichert, German Privacy Commissioner complemented Ixquick on its privacy achievements. You can find the press release here.

It should be mentioned that the stable libration points for geostationary satellites are earth-relative (105 deg west, 75 deg east) and are not the same as the Sun-Earth lagrange points (such as those occupied by SOHO and other observation satellites).
Forgive my ignorance in these highly technical matters, but when exactly did we start sending up Small Or Home Office satellites?
Don't be silly. He's referring to the satellite dedicated to observing (looking for terrorists) parts of New York, centered over SoHo.
Gods, remember the damn digicams that had full floppy disk drives on them? I used to work with someone that swore up and down that was the "easiest" way to get pictures off a camera and onto a computer. Apparently she had never heard of media readers....
They were useful in their day.
We used to have those cameras where I work. The floppies were definitely the easiest way to go. As I would find in the following years after they upgraded to newer cameras, media readers and USB cables were rare and easily came up missing in a shared workspace where many departments use the same camera from time to time, yet every computer had a floppy drive. It's really frustrating to take pictures and then have no way to get them off of the camera.
I wish they would have made a 5 1/4" version though.
