Don – What did the framers mean by militia when they wrote the USC? Afraid that you won't like that one much – the organization that would protect the states from foreign and domestic enemies. 'Domestic enemies' includes an oppressive Federal gov't and its agents. To ensure that I don't…
Don – Ah, I see the problem: the original directive dictated that to be a member of the militia, one must enroll. This requirement was superceded by redifining the term militia (which no longer required 'enrollment'). Garry Nelson
Don – Given your definition, my right to 'life' is limited by your right to 'pursuit of happiness'. I hope you aren't a disgrunted postal worker (G). But in all seriousness, where you see conflict, I see harmony. Absolute rights to 'life' and 'pursuit of happiness' can only be consumated…
I did find Atlas Shrugged to be an entertaining book, but found several of her ideas to be way out in left field. The Objectivist ideas on property rights, however, ring true for me. Either we are a society which foremost respects the individual, or we are a society which…
I think one of the biggest problems facing this country is that the vast majority of the laws and regulations cannot be interpretted correctly by anyone other than a law school graduate. Garry Nelson
Don – You cut to the quick on this one, and I appreciate such insightfulness. Might we then digress into what the Founding Fathers meant by the phrase 'unalienable rights'? Garry Nelson
Don – Mea culpa! I seem to have wrongfully assumed that the issue of the discussion was firearm registration. With the threadline change, I have no explanation for how I made such an assumption… I fully agree with _vehicle registration_. My apologies. Garry Nelson
Don – "They have to enroll" + "They are required to have arms after being enrolled" = ??? Garry Nelson
Don – RE: One So, in one fell swoop, you dismiss all laws and USSC decisions related to this matter. RE: Two And my opinion is that the National Guard is a an organized version of the Militia, complementing but not superceding the original concept of 'Militias'. Garry Nelson
I'll keep it in mind, but there are some people here in Hawaii who are interested in it. Garry Nelson
Where do we have democracy in this world? Since democracy does not exist, how can you relate objectivism to the real world in this context? Garry Nelson
But the 'right to keep and drive cars' is not mentioned in the Constitution. Garry Nelson
Nope – merely that they aren't required to keep and bear. Garry Nelson
Ah, a fellow RAH fan… Garry Nelson
Jeff – If you're interested in more Militia-related info, email me. There is a place on CIS for this kind of stuff, but it's sort of hidden. Garry Nelson
Don – I take you've never had the pleasure of reading any of Ayn Rand's books on the philosophy of Objectivism… ALL 'taking' or violation of property rights is confiscation. Ultimately, this produces a defunct, corrupt society – which is what we have now. Garry Nelson
Don – Isn't that the same justification they used to use in the South to justify poll taxes? Garry Nelson
Don – Now I know yer just funning me – that's a classic example of a misquote. They are REQUIRED to have arms after being enrolled – now think about it… whether 1792 or 1994, it's cheaper for the citizens of this country to keep their own weapons for such…
Don – RE: Sounds like the National Guard to me. Perhaps you ought to reread 10 USC 311 again… I recognize that you are entitled to your own opine, but the law is the law. Garry Nelson
Don – RE: Well-regulated vs. Unorganized Unorganized is a word with several meanings – for instance, an 'unorganized township' doesn't mean that the town is not well-regulated. I detect that you are playing games with words here. Given the legal and historical definitions of 'militia', it IS necessary that the…
Scratch that – here's the actual specifications: #1: The Supreme Court in Perpich vs. US said that the National Guard was acomponent of the ARMY. And here is what the LAW defines as "militia" #2 Militia Act of 1792 That the Militia of the United States shall consist of each…
Don, PMFJI, but what about 10 USC 311, which states that all able-bodied males age 18-35, who aren't part of the National Guard or other military service, are part of the Unorganized Militia? 10 USC 311 covers exactly what the 'Militia' is – the National Guard is considered the Organized…
I live in Hawaii, but you can have it if you want… it's 28 Mhz, no FPU, no RAM. $100, plus s+h. Still interested? Garry Nelson
RAM problems
Message #166343
I recently installed a GVP A3001 accelerator in my Amiga 2000. It came with 8 megs of 32-bit RAM attached. Prior to adding this to my system, I was using a VXL*30 with no 32-bit RAM and an A2058 with 2 megs of RAM on board. The VXL*30 has been…
RE: Can I tell that you enjoy this? Yup. I think all 5 Amiga owners in Hawaii run BBS's, so it ought to be easy try out their printers (just kidding – there are a lot more than 5 of us. Maybe 7 🙂 Garry Nelson
RE: Using CMD_file for printing No, but I think I'll try that. That way I could do the actual printing after I close Prowrite, right? Garry Nelson
Pat, Hey, thanks a bundle! I'm using ProWrite 3.3, a rather ancient version of excellence!, and the new Final Writer. The HP_Deskjet driver seems to work ok with FW, but is REALLY slow with graphics. I'll try your advice with the 500C driver (I'm sure I tried it already, but…
DJ, Well, I don't know if it's just me being overjoyed with something I just bought, but I REALLY like Final Writer, which I picked up yesterday (and would have messed with all night had my wife not insisted that I need sleep. Who needs sleep?!?) Took to it like…
Martin – I use MWB background patterns with WB2.1, no problems… 16 color at that. And the icons, oc. Garry Nelson EVERYBODY must get CLONED! – sung by B. Gates, ala B.Dylan
Wayne – Time to learn German! ;} Garry Nelson And, on the 67th day, Amiga Shall Rise From The Grave…
Steve – Yeah, that way they'll know what NOT to do… Future Owners: Mr Ali, what would YOU do in this situation? Ali: Oh, I'd do THIS and THIS. Future Owners, at the planning meeting later: We really shouldn't do this – Ali recommended it, and you know where THAT…
When I heard C= was going under, I immediately ordered one of their chip replacement sets with the ECS Denise… got the order in a week (which is about par for Hawaii), but no Denise, not even the old Denise. Of course, I called them, and the telephone rep said…
I did a little research in the business-side of CIS the other day – Samsung was listed as making a few clones, but I don't know how old the info was. Might try going down the 'go reference' path from the top menu and see where that leads… Garry Nelson…
Thanks for being assertive enough to make that call, and courteous enough to post the results… Garry Nelson (Still waiting for the resurrection)
Thanks for the info! Another _hard_ fact to add to the collection… Garry Nelson (Still waiting for the resurrection)
hear hear! Garry Nelson (Still waiting for the resurrection)
I'd like to know why their not talking! Garry Nelson (Still waiting for the resurrection)
Thanks for adding a FACT to my collection of info, though! What is the name of the accounting firm? Garry Nelson (Still waiting for the resurrection)
clapclapclapclapclapclap – very well thought out post – too damn bad it's the truth, though… Garry Nelson (Still waiting for the resurrection)
Paul – Since I have sworn off rumor-mongering for the rest of the month, I am forced to view this rumor with a great sense of humor. This is the funniest one yet!
Touche'! nice reality check.
– you aren't kidding! I am getting more than a little impatient at the lack of facts and overabundance of rumor…
Yeah, right – ever here of 'file #11'? I hear what you're saying, though. Guess I'm a die-hard in believing in the 'power of one'…
Is there a newspaper, magazine or reputable business journal that has/will publish this court-date information? If so, please name {it.
Well, the idea is to show support and maybe get _a_ company's attention. Rumors are rumors are rumors – but if people were calling _your_ business asking a about a product line you may or may not be considering acquiring, I'm sure _you'd_ be slightly more motivated to acquire the…
#Samsung's PR phone#
Message #150410
Would it be considered asinine of me to post the telephone number of Samsung USA's Public Relations representative? I have tried to contact this individual with this number, all I've managed to do so far is take up tape of her answering machine, but the Samsung USA Customer Service people…
Sounds logical. I've been searching business journals (online and otherwise) all week, newspapers, etc., and I can't find anything substantial on C= – this quip was all I've found on Samsung. Thanx for the informative post – I'll let you know if I come up with any more half-baked ideas.
Well, in the mean time, a guy can dream, can't he? Besides, I set that damn file on ENS and it was the first relevant news all week. I was glad to have something _remotely_ related to C= or Samsung come up… it's almost like a media blackout. If this…
#Unfounded Speculation
Message #147920
Hey! Just read on ENS that Samsung bought a license from a company in Britain called Advanced RISC Machines LTD (ARM). The article said Samsung will embed ARM chip technology in products to be developed jointly by Samsung and ARM. (Unfortunately, no mention of the dreaded C= or our illustrious…
Like a fish…
Message #147386
Didn't someone say Samsung would be making an announcement yesterday? The only announcement I found was that they were buying Lux, whatever Lux is – I've either been ignoring or making fun of most of the rumors flying around here lately, but MAN did I get suckered on the Samsung…
