Comment Re:Must be nice to have a functional judicial syst (Score 1) 17

functional?

seems like a deadbeat asshole is trapping lawbreakers, then being a deadbeat again to trap more, and the judicial system makes it pay

in my fantasy when I am feeling unchristian, the lawbreakers kill the deadbeat, the judical system condemns them to death, and the judges go to hell.

see? three birds, in zero stones.

I am not terrified by a so called "requirement" of legislation...

I am terrified that enough truckers lack enough common sense that people would make the legislators think it is good to legislate common sense for those stupid truckers.

Stupid truckers.

In the future, you could take a look at root causes of the things that terrify you.

Hum, I don't get the relevance of the link. Can you help me out on that?

I figure it is a good idea to have a DNA database of police, if it is a good idea to have a DNA database of criminals, since I am suspicious of the power of criminals and guardians.

But generally, guardians do not like to be subject to investigation. Even unions can help the guardians avoid that investigation, or even providing the means of investigation.

don't mess with the guardians, unless you have more power than they do.

did the people arrested in your link owe their downfall to DNA evidence?

I can imagine a system that places various privilege flags in a modified-for-this-user table created for each of selected users.

the table would be populated with privileges modified for the user; for example, your table could override your privilege for tagging. my table could modify my privilege to get mod-points. your table could assign your posts to pudge to be answered by the pudge-Eliza program.

when each privilege is to be applied to a given user, the existence of the modification table for the user is queried, and if exists, is used to modify the privilege.

a border-line or full-blown Asperger could program such.

car insurance is mandated plenty of places, and people drive without it, and raise the price for others.

you might be a criminal, but you will have plenty of company.

i just don't see this working out the way they hope

i think the big problem, is health insurance should have a big deductible, and employers should not provide it, they should provide that money to the employees to buy it on the free market that includes a government plan for the poor

is the so called "journalists" that found the subject newsworthy- I perceive, only by dint of geography

gee- murder and lawbreaking on a day of the year? that is news!

or maybe there is another agenda here...

Thanks for that link.

But what you seem to have missed is that you and pudge could both be said to have traits of Eliza and high functioning autism.

So I said it, regarding Eliza _talking to itself_.

This clearly adds something to the link you cite, and I posit that my comment does not show I am late to the party.

But opinions can differ.

Ciao,

Comment Rules. (Score 1) 2

Rules. That is the big deal.

RTFA:

"U.S. military rules specifically prohibit the proselytizing of any religion in Iraq or Afghanistan and were drawn up in order to prevent criticism that the U.S. was embarked on a religious "Crusade" in its war against al Qaeda and Iraqi insurgents."

Sounds like a fine rule to me. At least let's pretend that we are in Iraq for some reason better than a religious crusade.

If there is a god, I find it telling that the founder of the company was called to their final reward by a plane crash.
