Correlation does not always indicate causality though, of course. It's just the notion that a tool is required to be of a certain size to be professional that is amusing. I guess while Microsoft has been trying to catch up to this whole internet thing, that they got sidetracked and ended up adopting pornstar like philosophies. But were not talking about causality, we're talking about a correlation . . .
They're not saying that th tools are big because they are professional, they are saying that professional tools are big.
given some of the f****d-up, topsy-turvy values and morality we see coming out of the States at times, I certainly wouldn't take that for granted.

To do this he broke into systems and spied without a warrant, probable cause, or any authority whatsoever. Most of the people he did this to were innocent, but in any case the 'evidence' he found cannot be used to prosecute with. I doubt if he has much concept of the 'chain of evidence' anyway, so it will be inadmissable for all sorts of reasons.
1) A private citizen cannot be isued, or act upon a warrant.
2) A private citizen is not bounded by probable cause.
3) If he did have any authority, that would have voided all of his findings.
4) The "Chain of evidence" only applies once the evidence has been seized by law enforcement.
Basically, the evidence still stands when obtained illegally by a private citizen. Although any descent defence lawyer will tear it appart in court, it is still probable cause enough to issue a warrant.
