  1. Re:What's new... on Florida Voting Machine Logs Reveal Anomalies · · Score: 1

    I have a better question: If we've agreed to start at "electronic voting machine" how can you get to "fraudulent and corrupt" without going through "errors in an audit log"? And if "errors in an audit log" aren't enough to convince you to throw-out the results, what actually would convince you? What kind of gold standard are you looking for? There is no proof that can convince them. Their guy won so it doesn't matter whether fraud played a part in the election.

    As long as you didn't purchase a Land Rover, a Mercedes, a web domain from RegistryFly, eaten at Applebee's, or flown on American Airlines, then they haven't lost; they just didn't win. Yet.
    I am not sure how not buying a Hummer or a Land Rover is a victory for Hummer. Hummer spent millions of dollars to encourage the viewers to buy a Hummer.

    I doubt anyone in the boardroom at Hummer is saying, "sure we didn't generate any Hummer sales but at least none of those pricks are buying Land Rovers! Money well spent!"

  9. Re:Ummm on Airport ID Checks Constitutional · · Score: 1
    The Bill of Rights is an amendment to The Constitution. The Constitution starts out "We the People of The United States of America..." If you aren't a citizen, you aren't part of that "We". No Bill of Rights, no Miranda Rights, no rights except those agreed upon with your nation of origin. Hard but true.

    The preamble to the United States Constitution states;

    "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

    After paring off the nonrestrictive elements in the sentence, the sentence reads;

    "We the People of the United States do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

    The pronoun "we" refers to the Founding Fathers who wrote and ratified this Constitution not as a determination for who is given Constitutional rights and priviledges.

    The Constitution was established by the Founding Fathers for the United States of America.

    Audio Input with no extra adaptors. (2 jacks, 1 in, 1 out so i can monitor what i'm recording)

    I was realy tempted to get one of the old Neuvos Media players, mostly because they had everything you could want in one unit. including FM Transmitter, Customizable EQ (Wish i could get more than a FSCKIN 5 band... 11 or 13? Come on!)

    ...it's already been ruled that looking at email doesn't violate laws against wire-tapping.

    Ha! Did you even read your own link?

    On Thursday, by a majority of 5 - 2, the Court of Appeals overturned the ruling, making it clear that even though emails are stored in computer memory during transmission, it is still criminal to intercept those messages without the user's permission or a court-issued wiretap order.

    According to Kevin Bankston, attorney with the EFF, "Today's decision reaffirms that email providers can't snoop on their customers' incoming messages any time they like, and that the law protects the privacy of your email just as much as it protects the privacy of your phone calls."
