  1. Re:Nothing on What Should Be In a Technology Bill of Rights? · · Score: 1

    Our rights are inalienable regardless of whether or not they are listed in the Bill of Rights.

    Oh? And by what divine providence is this carried out? Does it involve moistened bints?

    Very scary. So now we'll get a guy who spins dials and pushes buttons but doesn't have a clue as to what they do. Don't tell him which one is the seat ejection.

  4. Re:Paging Ray Beckerman on ASCAP Starts To Act Like the RIAA · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Those resources are better spent reforming the system to prevent innocents from going to prison in the first place.

    No, it's more important get people out of danger first. You don't discuss how to put out a fire while people are burning inside.

    You know, there are other issues that can occupy a person's time.

    No such thing. The PC term would be "biologically disabled".

  11. Re:The French are in Full Retreat on French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill · · Score: 2, Funny

    So, to paraphrase a famous person who didn't say it, *6,121 km oughta be good enough for everybody* That about right?

  12. Re:internet only services? on French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill · · Score: 1

    It's a great marketing opportunity for government authorized, or franchised internet cafes. Just swipe your government approved ID card, and instant access. Please, stay where you are. We'd like to have a talk with you. Please make your passwords available upon request. This is just routine...

  13. Re:The French are in Full Retreat on French Assembly Adopts 3-Strikes Bill · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We should just imprison the planet and be done with it.

    What makes you think we haven't? How far can you go without a passport?

  14. Re:Stupid strawman on Work Resumes On Virtual Fence With Mexico · · Score: 1

    If you somehow do away with the previous government (e.g. civil war) and then engage in some sort of racial discrimination with respect to who gets citizenship in the new country then that is essentially the same thing.

    *All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.*

    It's not racial discrimination. It's geographical discrimination. In modern times one's no better than the other.

  15. Re:It's not racism on Work Resumes On Virtual Fence With Mexico · · Score: 1

    Terrorism or not, it would most certainly send a message to Mexico to reform their country.

    You oughta get that beam out of your eye there, son. Any "reforms" that aren't USGA grade A approved will go nowhere. Some of us remember Chile's 9/11.

  16. Re:It's not racism on Work Resumes On Virtual Fence With Mexico · · Score: 1

    Citizen only refers to status, not race.

    That's right. You're either a citizen, or you're property. When somebody can restrict your movements, you're his property.

    ...pirates should learn from the best crooks, the past administration, when it comes to the destruction of electronic evidence...
