  1. Re:100% predictive: beat everyone, lock them up on Innocent Until Predicted Guilty · · Score: 1

    I wish I went to your school. My school saw some students as gifted and figured they needed less attention, less instruction, and could get by just fine with decades-old textbooks so they could spend the time and money on training the under-performing students to pass standardized tests.

    No, you're getting modded down for recommending a product that has an IE-only web interface.

  5. Re:If not China, why US? on Google Gives the US Government Access To Gmail · · Score: 1

    Our government is a balance.

    There is supposed to be a balance between the branches of the federal government. There is not supposed to be some equal balance between the federal government and the states and people; the federal government is supposed to have only the little bit of power given it by its constitution.

    If individual states could undo any law, where is the balance there?

    Giving the states the power to reject laws would be a good check on the federal government and would not disrupt the balance between the federal branches.

    If SCOTUS can justify overturning . . . without citing precedence or any case law

    SCOTUS is supposed to hold the law as written in higher regard than previous ruling on it.

    Otherwise none of the terrible supreme court decisions could ever be overturned.

    The difference between for you getting put in jail and separated from your children for a week and you getting put in jail and separated from your children for a decade is the sloppiness of the guy framing you.

    It may only be 50,000 to 1,000,000 people, but you know each of those are people who spend a lot of money on stuff they do not need.

    No, it would just prove that the God Particle existed at one point in time. It was there for the big bang, but then it turned into the Topeka Particle.

    Think X windows.

    If the client (the soul) sends correct data to the server (the brain), but the server is broken (due to magnets), the client was correct and its data is presumably correct, but the display is screwed up.

    If the client is the one that gets judged (the karma), then there is no problem.

    Same here. But he said not to answer the race question because liberals value minority lives over white lives.

    Politicians value those who vote for them over those who do not.

    Liberal politicians value liberal voters over conservative voters.

    Statistically, minorities are more likely to be liberal and whites more likely to be conservative.

    Liberal politicians value minorities over whites.

    Do you really think the politicians care if those who do not vote for them are alive or not?
