  1. Re:Who cares, Jini is DEAD. on A Java-Based Handheld OS · · Score: 1

    The army is the end user. The use of Jini or UPnP has nothing to do with the saleability of the product anyway.

    The product doing what it is meant to do makes it sellable.

    Why do you people talk about standards like they're football teams or something?

    You see, the thing about Apostacy is its subjective, The Nazi's would point to their religion to prove you wrong, and you would point to yours to prove them wrong.

    The Poligamist Mormons are still considered Mormons even though they are not part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, as they forbid poligomy. We dont refer to them as "Prodestants", we still call them Mormons, because it is up to the individual Religion to exercise self-determination. The term "Prodestant" is a Catholic term for religions other than the one they have a voice in, and thats not a right they have. I'll choose my own religion, let the Catholics have theirs, I refuse to be lumped into a discriminatory "other" classification, and I wouldnt claim to have the right to do that to the Catholics either.

    My religion was in no way shaped by protest, and had nothing to do with Catholocism, so I reject a label that Catholicism places on me, and claim no privilidge to label Catholics anything else other than what they tell me they are, as is their right.

    Catholics call themselves Catholics, I accept that. I call myself whatever. The Nazi's claimed they were Catholic. I think the Catholics resent that, I dont understand why, people do things, blame people, not things.

    Thats tresspass, not privacy. Privacy is never mentioned in the constitution. Privacy on your own property, or property you tennant, is covered by trespass. Privacy in a public forum is your responsibility. You have the right TO or NOT to encrypt, or obfuscate your actions or speech.

    I have a split view.

    I believe I have the right, as do others, the address of my residence, if they have the means of obtaining that info. I dont believe anyone has the "right" to hide, but if they choose to, so be it, but it shouldnt be a "protected right"

    I believe everyone HAS the right to privacy as far as their property is concerned, tresspassing is a violation of this. however, in a public forum, its your responsibility to keep your own laundry private.

    I dont feel too strongly on this, I believe that its best the government and laws stay out of this, and that each citizen takes what privacy measures he deems necessary, and that its not a problem for the government untill tresspass has occured.

    >> It's true they began by basically carbon copying the structure of the church, but in your context your terminology is misleading.

    You misled first, you said they were "christian prodestants" even though they sought to copy the Catholic church, and considered themselves Catholic, and practised Catholicism, albeit not under the pope.

    The only reason you consider them prodestants is because I imagine you are Catholic, and Catholics like to lump everyone into "US" or "The prodestants" (everyone else)

    The fact is, the practised religion was Catholicism, this doesnt change just because a Catholic leader said "we dont claim them"

    I'm not knocking Catholicism, all religions are good in my book, as far as I see it, its who got to you first. Only an idiot blames religion for the wars we fought. People will fight about anything, blame the people, not the anything.

    peace :)

  20. I dont get it... on FBI Defends "Carnivore" · · Score: 1

    If they already have a court order allowing them to wiretap, then why do they need Carnivore in the first place?

    Its just the ATTITUDE that pisses me off, they have a lot of nerve creating something to police its citizens communications, and then calling it "Carnivore", sure its all good.

    I think as a step to limit the power of the government, and the ability of the citizens to keep a checks and ballances edge against the government (which is the spirit of the constitution), the government shouldnt even be allowed to USE the internet, much less police it.

    Fear the government that fears your guns. Fear the government that fears your Computers.

Athiesm is undocumented, and offers no support, yet is still considered entry-level. People tend to run Athiesm "just for the games" that wont run on other religions.
