    Wow, you really provided a lot of evidence.

  2. Re:Bandwidth is not a limited resource on Will Internet TV Crash the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Exactly, there is no reason why bandwidth must be so expensive. The fact is as of now we have more than enough bandwidth, it is the companies in charge that are limiting it and charging artificially large amounts of money for the little of it that they are actually providing.

    Are you fucking kidding me? That has NOTHING, let me repeat NOTHING, to do with what we are talking about. How does this get modded up?

  4. Re:I wish I could join the ACLU on FISA Court Sides With ACLU Against Administration · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The right isn't actually very vague at all, if you understand how to read and interpret sentence structure the way it was used at the time in those sorts of documents. If you do it becomes clear that it is both a singular and collective right, not one or the other.

    May be a troll, but the sentiment is (although cliche) both true and on topic.

    It's not about us not seeing the benefits, it's that you are completely ignoring the downsides.

    Yeah, right, it's completely useless to study how learning works in one of the closest animals to humans genetically. Probably a stupid question, but are you just trolling or do you actually believe this shit?

    Completely untrue. At a public school there is a requirement that students MUST be given due process rights just as with any other public institution.

  12. Re:Laughable on eBay's Ill-Timed Lifetime Achievement Webby · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Wrong. Actually the text specifically allows for BOTH the right to bear arms AND have a well regulated militia. Both at the same time. Language at the time was very specific, and the way it was written taken in the context of the language used clearly shows a right of both private citizens to have weapons and also for them to create a well regulated militia.

    Please don't only post things you heard from somewhere without doing some further research actually closely looking at the language.

    In case you forgot it:
    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    Having studied this type of legal language, it is saying that a well regulated militia is necessary and furthermore as a consequence the right of the people to bear arms must not be infringed. The first comma denotes a pause while the second denotes a separate idea. The right of the people to bear arms is a separate idea, that flows from the need for a well regulated militia. There is nothing remotely in the language that requires them to be a member of a militia, but to have one the people must have arms anyway. The first part is there simply to provide a further reasoning. It was already assumed that all people should have the right to bear arms and that simple point was not really questioned much if at all.

    If you can't real it correctly you can't understand it correctly, and obviously you can't.

  13. Re:Bad headline! on NY Governor to Target Violent Video Games · · Score: 0

    No he's targeting violent video games to make it more difficult to even sell these games to begin with. Theoretically less sales of violent video games = less violent video games.

    "NM just wants to call it a "planet", which is well within their prerogative" No, it's not. Show me how states have any ability to determine what is a planet or not. They have no legal power in this respect. Governments do not decide scientific classifications.

    If they are not criminals or even assumed to be so, just visitors, why should their fingerprints go in a database with criminals. Of course this is not the biggest problem, but would it be so hard to have a separate non-criminal database?
