    Actually, this wouldn't be a violation of the First Amendment. If you recall the text,

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
    religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

    IOTW, there's no law being made here and no prohibition against any other religion other than Judeo-Chritianity in this. (I suppose Muslims are included also, since they read the old testament, I think.)

    By the way, I agree it is a horrendous idea to include taxpayer dollars, just that it isn't unconstitutional. :P

    ...that the park actually evolved from lower forms of parks, each being incrementally better than the previous park.

    It is just a rumor.

    I am amazed at how - once again - Novell blundered and lost the opportunity to capitalize on something. Back in '05 I thought Novell and SUSE (SLED, SLES...) would have a viable future competing against Wintendo and Unix. However, I noticed way back in '08 that they were slipping and I eventually jumped ship myself (over to Ubuntu) and gave up trying to persuade my server room staff to switch to Novell.

    Too bad.

    Kind of reminds me of 1995...

  19. Re:Don't people know all defendants are guilty... on Facebook Post Juror Gets Fined, Removed, Assigned Homework · · Score: 1

    Valid point.

    In addition - and I know we're going off topic here - unless you have a lot of money, you're going to be stuck with an overworked public defender who really won't care what happens to you.

    I have worked with the courts in several California counties - Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange.

    In all cases, the attorney general is well-funded and staffed with very sharp lawyers. Conversely, the public defender is under-funded. (I don't want to say the attorneys are of less quality, just that they are down-trodden because of the caseload and funding.)

  22. Re:Blended or Single Malt? on Scottish Scientists Develop Whisky Biofuel · · Score: 1

    The ethanol does wreck efficiency. It is - IIRC - about 60% as efficient as gasoline.

    Keep in mind that we already have a 15% ethanol blend here in California.

    IMO, if I could get ethanol that reduces our dependence on totalitarian regimes like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and others, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

    My best option would be to switch to diesel and utilise either veggie oil blends or some form of bio diesel from soy or other plant materials.

    Unfortunately, diesel is a hard sell here in California.

    Well, according to my wife, I'm much more efficient at creating methane-based fuel.

    I've researched the heck out of a grease-powered (frybrid/lovecraft) mercedes or even truck.

    ATM, I'm spending less on simple gas.

    I have filled up twice on ethanol, but I have to drive ten miles to the only E85 station near Los Angeles and I get crappy mileage for the effort.

  25. Blended or Single Malt? on Scottish Scientists Develop Whisky Biofuel · · Score: 1

    I can see the filling stations now.

    On one pump you have gas with 87 octane, one with 92 octane and then single-malt or blended whiskey...

    What about the Americans? Will we develop a fuel based on Budweiser or Tequila?
