    For all the billions Calif* spends propping up worthless mortgages, it could build gigantic ziggurats & actually house people.

    Yes, but that wouldn't keep the people in slavery. Gotta keep the people slaves to the machine you know?

  4. Re:armed result == bloodbath on As of October, FBI To Allow Warrantless Investigations · · Score: 1

    A lot of the military have been brainwashed to obey orders "or else" and the military that does not comply could be quickly squashed.

    Surely a rat brain would be an improvement over the standard politician's brain.

    Yes, with a Beowulf cluster of these, I am sure it would be hard to beat.

    You know, as a voice actor/actress, a little mp3 music in the background might not be a bad thing, maybe set the mood. Perhaps you dont need all the fangled gadgetry.

  10. This state controller needs to be fired on California Can't Perform Pay Cut Because of COBOL · · Score: 3, Insightful

    From Wikipedia on California state controller duties:

    * As the state's chief fiscal officer, acts as the state's accountant and bookkeeper of all public funds.

    * Administers the state payroll system and unclaimed property laws.

    * Serves on numerous boards and commissions including the Board of Equalization, the Board of Control, CalPERS and CalSTRS.

    * Conducts audits and reviews of state operations.



    I posit that he has failed to administer the state payroll system and as such needs to be canned and replaced. Part of administrating the system is making sure it is flexible enough to meet the demands of the California Governor.

  11. Re:Data on library computers on FBI Seizes Library Computers Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    What would it be anyway? Most library computers I've used don't even connect to the internet, but rather just their online catalogue.

    Actually the ones that provide an online catalogue can provide internet access. I know because I've seen them made to do such a thing. So the online catalogue computers that I have seen are connected to the internet.

  12. Re:Books? Any written materials? on DHS Allowed To Take Laptops Indefinitely · · Score: 1

    From the Fourth Amendment on wikipedia:

    The Supreme Court has held the rule does not apply in certain situations: (1) probation or parole revocation hearings; (2) tax hearings; (3) deportation hearings; (4) when government officials illegally seize evidence outside the United States; (5) when a "private actor" (i.e., not a governmental employee) illegally seized the evidence; or (6) when the illegally seized evidence is used to impeach the defendant's testimony.

    So if the Supreme Court says it is so, then it must be right?

    It is unlimited, but so is the price you will pay when you go over the cap. In other words, go over the cap and they can bend you over in an unlimited fashion as well.

  19. Re:Should be criminal anyway on Graphics Advances Make Identifying Real Images Difficult · · Score: 1

    What the hell is sexual callousness anyway? I'd argue that it's the default setting for males, who are not mate-for-life animals, despite what the Bride Magazine and the Bible leads us to believe.

    Have you ever read the Bible? It did not lead me to believe that we are mate-for-life animals. In fact it lead me to believe that human beings were born naturally to do the wrong thing, and so we need to be shown the difference.

    Normal sex rarely does the job anyway, but I'm a pervert. I'm sure oral sex is deviant and bizarre too (so silly, you'll never make a baby that way). I feel sure that this study should have concluded that wasting time trying to give the girl an orgasm is bizarre and distorted. In my biology classes they stressed that female orgasms are not relevent to procreation. The Bible we're supposed to procreate, not enjoy it, so she doesn't get one. Amen.

    I am not sure what you meant by the last part of this paragraph, but I will gander at a guess. The Bible says nothing about not enjoying sex between a man and a wife who are married. So if you are implying that the Bible bans oral sex between a married man and wife then you obviously did not read it. On another note, I seem to remember reading a study that showed that the more orgasms a female had, the more fertile she would become. So I do not know what you are trying to proport here.

    Agenda. Monogamy is an invention from thousands of years ago to protect children and provide for women. It isn't natural at all, for men or women. I base this on the observation that almost everyone has had sex with more than one person (slashdot excepted) and many times cheat on each other. Also, we apparently have divorces from monogamy, when it get's too boring, so we don't take it that seriously.

    Just because everyone appears to be doing it does not make it right or correct. Having multiple partners in fact has been shown to increase the risk of STDs, death, and fatherless children. I personally would never argue in favor of any of these. Getting back to your earlier topic on the Bible, the law of the Bible was never meant to keep us from something good, but rather to spare us the pain of doing something bad. This reminds me of Plato in that truth is Public (it is for everyone), Independent (of anyone's belief) and Eternal (it goes on forever and although things change, the past remains what it was).
