Maybe the basis for life is out there, dirt, frozen water maybe. Every time I look at pictures of places like Titan or Europa it makes me a little sad because they are barren wastelands. The problem is the planets have to have there orbits changed, defrosted and maybe life will happen. I can't imagine we will ever be able to successfully move a planet in the first place, then see if it can sustain life in the second place. It seems like a huge impossibility to me that that will ever happen. It seems more practical to put money into space stations and space tourism.

I doubt anyone would really cyber stalk me from here, more cyber annoy me to the point of kicking their ass so I think I am fine. The people on here would most likely send me grandma or lesbian porn spam because they think they are funny. They also might create a fake profile to befriend me or my boyfriend at the time to play email games. Another tactic a Slashdot type might take would be to break into my AIM account and write stupid crap and pretend to be me and generally embarrass the heck out of me. That is Slashdot's speed pretty much.

Nobody in their right mind would want my identity, I have shit credit after widowhood, I buy everything with cash. If someone tried to steal my credit life they would be SERIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED.

I am uncomfortable about the general public having my mortgage information though, I think that should be more personal, but it isn't.

I don't know, I don't think most people are on private status. And really funny pics or reading someone's status doesn't really give you much insight into a person on Facebook.

I am not happy about the mortgage information online, but if it is public domain there is not much you can do. I would rather someone know that I am taking my dog for a walk or going to the grocery store before they knew how much I paid for a house, what my address is and what my social security number is through a scannable document.

It seems that Facebook is just a quick means of getting the word out about how Gaza feels about a corrupt government and gives them a place to vent. What is really great is that people are actually using Facebook to organize protests against a corrupt government and a President that they obviously do not want. Sounds kind of like bitching about Bush really.

I keep waiting to hear of a buzz word for Facebook like myspace is called "cry space." Seriously, Facebook and Myspace are places to bitch sometimes which is good, people have to get the misery out somehow.

I actually looked it up because I was curious, I didn't think they had children at all. Bill does have three kids. I had no idea. He really fits the profile for a true capitalist despite him trying to give his money away to charities, they are tax write offs anyway probably to offset his huge assets.

He supposedly plans to give each of his three children 10 million a piece when he passes. He said by then he will have given most of his money away. Linus better get in line. Just kidding. I think he has a ton of money too despite being cut of a different ilk than Bill Gates.
