A lot of people now think there was a 'real' person named Jesus; but some historians think he may be a 'composite' of various folk legends, that has grow and mutated over time.
Who knows what people will think about "Jediism" in 2000 years..?
After all - is having a religion based on just a movie somehow worse than having a religion based on just a book?
The classic "cop on the beat" an officer, or constable, wandering through town, aware of everything in plain sight, knowing who belongs, and who does not isn't 'spying' it's call "law enforcement."
The thought of officers perusing a public forum - hosted on a network built by the Department of Defense - where people have been given no expectation of privacy simply brings that model to the modern age.
Facebook is popular because its users believe that their information is not publicly available... I doubt if any Facebook user thinks that anything on Facebook is private.
IANAL but...
I would guess it's not illegal to violate a TOS, but it may be a civil breach of contract (implied).
However, most officers would be indemnified if doing something "illegal" while in the lawful performance of their duty. (i.e. they were violating the speed limit to get to a call, although not running code 3[light and siren])
The actual reality would be that a judge would simply throw it out.
If you think about it - it takes two real coins to make one hollowed out one. There would be no incentive to 'passing' a 'fake' quarter you made out of two original coins. There could be no fraudulent intent.
Which is even exemplified by Brooks as not a MMM problem in the: "9 pregnant women having 9 separate babies in 9 months" (in parallel) and not "9 pregnant women producing 1 babies in 1 month"
I'm not sure where you get your information, but a great number of production facilities are Wintel based.
I'm in the business - and there are too many small ones to name - but one huge, new one is the $350,000,000 Letterman Digital Arts Center (and the Lucasfilm Animation Singapore unit)
A neon or florescent desk light might also work.
I believe that at one time secret spy messages were transmitted via a neon sign. (Can't remember context.)

What the hell are you guys talking about?
A 'camera' is a room.
Are you yacking about those newfangled "camera obscuras?"
Yes... it's called a "Pinto": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y5TfgG8nm0
HEY! Nobody calls us "stuffy"
It's not that. It those irritating AARP letters he keeps getting in the mail...
Actually a brilliant observation HaZ...
One wonders what would have happened if he showed up for work in full native American kit: head-dress, loin cloth, bow and arrows, war paint.
That's a kind of tenuous argument.

That's actually pretty safe. By comparison: 34 people were killed in 2009 in the US by being hit by lightning.
...now, now, now... let's be fair to Rep. Senator John Warner.
He wasn't trying to stop wind farms from being in his view, he was trying to stop wind farms from being in his friends view.
They didn't even wait for Twitter to be invented to do it, either:
Stanley Mark Rifkin social engineered his way into $10 million dollars back in "78, but bragged about it to his lawyer, who turned him in.
I bet he would have tweeted about it too, if he could have...
No... it's just a totally weird coincidence that my sig is "Winners Don't Do Drugs!"
OK, friend me now....
Your use of the word 'spy' is interesting.

uh... I think he mean pizza for breakfast.

No *REAL* production house...uses Wintel

Does this mean my millions of HSX dollars will be converted to real dollars?
Cool!
Good point...
Heath's death didn't do much to help Terry Gilliam...
I'm looking forward to Harmonix new "Patent Hero - Band" in which you, and a group of friends, can simulate playing "Patent Hero"
Sorry - I just can't help it sometimes...
Isn't this one of the factors that killed off Sony Betamax format (against VHS)?
There were other issues too, like record time and price-point, but Sony refused to allow pr0n on Betamax and it became a huge market on VHS.
Thanks Chris, Kudos to Comcast for setting this up - and kudos to you for running the /. gauntlet!
...and the ancillary data:
"...the unshaven look on a woman is actually a turn-off for 99.998 per cent of men..."
Don't try to 'fix' it man... bail now. you only get 1 life and you need to make it count. Bail now... Sorry

It's the Lincoln/"fooling the people" effect.
