  1. Re:You have no constitutional right to privacy on Bush Demands Amnesty for Spying Telecoms · · Score: 1

    Without a constitutional amendment to hold anyone who violates our rights to privacy like this again accountable for treason we are doing nothing less than tacitly consenting to such despicable acts whenever the executive branch finds it convenient.

    From Article III Section 3 of the Constitution: Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

    Sedition perhaps, but I think it's a bit of a stretch for treason.

    Competent terrorists aren't going to be caught by dragnet style filtering anyway unless its technical prowess is far beyond what most experts agree is currently possible.

    I don't know about you, but I'd like to catch the incompetent terrorists too.

    Now if you want to get really funny, leave them powered up and transmitting on aforementioned backroad for a few minutes, make sure they get at least one location transmission off, and then beat the crap out of them.
    Or just tied them onto a kangaroo. They have those in New Zealand right?

    The Matrix is cool, but now I can finally fulfill my dream of living the my own "Take Me On" video. Now I just need to download the song to my ipod and put it on continuous loop.

  6. Re:This is stupid. on High School Students Forced To Declare A Major · · Score: 1

    Michael A. Polizzi, an assistant superintendent, said the district carefully researched future demand for jobs, examined college programs and surveyed students about their interests before settling on its first six majors: sports management, fine and performing arts, health sciences, international studies and global commerce, communications and new media and or liberal arts. In 2008, the school plans to add environmental studies and a "preteaching institute."
    I guess science/engineering is right out.
  7. Re:State's Fault? on Slot Machine with Bad Software Sends Players To Jail · · Score: 1

    Along with the state certification, wouldn't the manufacturer be responsible for the loss? It does seem like a pretty poor design "feature"

    To put things in perspective here's the list of the people President Clinton pardoned. http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pardonchartlst.htm Apparently Bill agreed with you on the possession (and dealing) of drugs

  9. Anyone see a business model here? on Guitartabs.com Suspends Under Legal Pressure · · Score: 1

    It seems like there's a pretty significant demand for tabs (especially accurate ones), and a lack of desire to spent $30 for a book of tabs when you really only want one song. So why not an Itunes style service where you can buy whatever song tab you want for a resonable fee, all licensed through whatever agency/association claims the rights. The song writer/copyright holder gets a cut and the customer gets a quality product. Is there anything like this out there?
