    Ron Paul Wins Support to Audit Fed Reserve
    Say what you want about Republicrats, and Fox news -- Auditing the Federal Reserve would be a GOOD THING. They're ran unchecked for how long?

    -----------------------------
    Rep. Ron Paul so far has won 245 co-sponsors to a bill that would require a full-fledged audit of the Federal Reserve by the end of 2010.

    Laptop: Take 3
    Ok, starting all over again.

    This time, Dell Studio 15



    Comments?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    STUDIO 15 Studio 15 Notebook
    Operating System Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1, 64-Bit
    Processors Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8600 (2.4GHz/1066Mhz FSB/3MB cache)
    Memory 4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 800MHz
    Keyboard Back-lit Keyboard
    LCD Panel 15.6” Full High Definition (1080p) High Brightness LED Display with TrueLife™ and Camera
    Video Card 512MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570
    Hard Drive Size: 320GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)
    System Color Black Chainlink
    Combo or DVD+RW Drive 6X Slot Load Bluray (BD) Combo Drive (BD Read Only)
    Sound Soundblaster X-Fi Hi Def Audio - Software Enabled
    Wireless Networking Cards Intel 5300 Ultimate-N Half Mini Card (3x3) with MyWiFi
    Battery 85 WHr Lithium Ion Battery (9 cell)
    Bluetooth Option Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Internal (2.1
    Processor Branding Intel® Centrino® 2 Processor


    Most of this was included. I added in the following:
    1080P Display
    512 dedicated graphics
    Bluetooth
    Wifi ($5 to get the 5300 over the 5100)
    BluRay Player/DVD-CD burner
    Backlit Keyboard (SCORE!!!!!!)

    Pretty stoaked. $100 less than the Thinkpad I had the HUGE fiasco with. It has everything that one had, with a touchpad only (the keyclit was annoying and the touchpad buttons sucked). The backlit keyboard is something I really wanted and wasn't available on the thinkpad. The Hi-def screen was only $75 more than the less bright 720p one which kinda sucks for res.

    I should be very happy with this and can close the chapter on this upgrade. There is nothing else I could put into a laptop.

    Rope::Burn addendum
    Slight error with the ticketing has been cleared up. here's the details:

    ------------------


    Someone just pointed out to me that there were no singles' tickets available for the June 13 Rope::Burn. Yikes! I cleared up the data entry error, so if you were looking to check out the scene Lone Wolf style, come on down!

    While it's true that a lot of our audience are couples, lately the shows have been averaging 25% singles, spread out pretty evenly across genders and ages. (In fact I know of at least one newly minted "unicorn" that will be there on Saturday -- but watch out for her horn!) Because you can just sit back, sip a drink, and watch the show, it's actually a great event for a single person just starting to check out the SF underground bdsm and kink scene.

    So head over to

    and treat yourself to a night on the town, you deserve it!

    Hope to see you there...

    Rope::Burn June
    Tickets are onsale and will sell out. Every show is unique and one of a kind.



    From Mike West:

    Hey Everybody!

    Rope Burn is June 13, and just in case you didn't believe me, here are some hot pics from the photo preview showing Rain DeGrey tying, topping, and tasting the squeekalicious Puppet!

    http://tiedoutwest.com/2009/04/22/3spanks/

    Speaking of puppets, I'll be trying to tame the truant Ms Maggie Mayhem. Maybe she'll do what I say if I stick my hand in her?

    Plus, we'll have cake and two of SF's hottest go-go dancers, Widow and Fushia Starr, in a very special Zombie intermission show. By my calculations, that's 5 hot naked chicks, not even counting our sexy waitresses and bar staff!

    Hope to see you there...

    Results from the "How did we do?" Survey! Ho Ho Ho
    I talked to Sales, they referred me to service because it was obvious
    that the LCD itself was not a true 24bit display. I couldn't have been
    any more clear on any phone conversation or written descriptions.

    Your tech, Jade, went so far as to underline "1680x1050" on my
    accompanying letter, as if that's the only part she could understand or
    cared about, then noted on the work order that the display was changed
    to that res (which is a lie, as it was ALREADY at that resolution) and
    returned the computer without having actually addressed the problem.

    I myself am a tech, Level 3 support, who goes out on calls to fix
    problems. If any of my techs did something like this I would fire them
    and replace them with a monkey. This might sound a little harsh, but
    your tech did nothing except waste of week of everyones time.

    The long story short, AGAIN, is that Manufacturing is installing 18bit
    displays in machines that are sold as 24bit. Sales was not happy to
    hear this, and said that repair would be able to install the correct LCD
    display. Service didn't even make an attempt at correcting the issue.

    Now this is irony.
    Dear Obamicon Makers and Paste readers,

    We hope you've enjoyed using the Obamicon site. We enjoyed making the site and were thrilled by the enthusiastic response.

    As you may have heard, our company (Paste Media Group)--like many others--has been hard-hit by the economic downturn. Readership is strong and enthusiastic, but the decline in the advertising dollars that we depend on to support Obamicon.Me, PasteMagazine.com and our print magazine has brought us to a short-term cash crisis.

    National gun registry?
    The problem is simple: Gun registry doesn't work because CRIMINALS don't register their guns. Considering half the criminals in the Mexican drug cartel are in the Mexican Military, we know how they're getting their weapons. It's more smoke and mirrors to prevent U.S> citizens from having a means of defense and a way to keep the Gov't in check.

    Gov't Attempting to Seize Smith & Wesson
    Gov't Attempting to Seize Smith & Wesson
    Marie Llosander
    4/29/2009

    Seemingly in line with other corporate seizures, the United States government appears to be attempting to gain a majority stake in prominent firearms company Smith & Wesson.

    Smith & Wesson, one of the oldest weapons company in the United States, is currently on sound economic footing. However, a clause in the 2009 Stimulus Bill calls for the federal government to seize industries and companies that are essential to the economy or 'government function.'

    The Treasury Department contacted the company in March 2009, asking to buy shares at $10 above market price. However, this offer was sharply rebuffed. Similar offers have been made to Remington.

    After this rejection, the Treasury Department has declared that it will use mechanisms in the Stimulus Bill in order to override the corporate decision. Smith & Wesson's board of executives have also been informed that this decision by the Treasury Department could not be appealed to any superior court.

    Which brings us to the very interesting part of this story while I wait for confirmation from Smith & Wesson.

    "Similar offers have been made to Remington."

    That statement is very interesting since Cerberus owns Remington and bought the gun manufacturer on April 5, 2007.

    How about some good news for a change?
    The New York Court of Appeals today decided Weaver v. People, No. 53 (May 12, 2009), holding that the NY Constitution prohibits the use of GPS transmitters on vehicles without a warrant, following other state courts analyzing the issue under their constitutions.

    Zap. Die Infidel!
    Patent for killer chip denied in Germany
    Fri, 08 May 2009 21:38:32 GMT

    Tiny ID chips can be inserted under the skin
    A Saudi inventor's proposal to insert semiconductors subcutaneously in visitors and remotely kill them if they misbehave will not be patented in Germany.

    On Wednesday, a German Patent Office spokeswoman said the application was received on October 30, 2007 and published 18 months later, as required by law, in a patents database. But inventions that are unethical or a danger to the public are not recognized.

    Reporters said the document proposed that tiny semiconductors be implanted or placed by injection under the skin of people so their whereabouts could be tracked by global-positioning satellites. This could be used to prevent immigrants overstaying.

    A model B of the system would contain a poison such as cyanide, which could be released by remote control to "eliminate" people if they became a security risk. The document said this could be used against terrorists or criminals.

    Microchip implantation in humans has raised new ethical discussions by scientific professional forums, academic groups, human rights organizations, government departments and religious groups.

    The Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) of the American Medical Association published a report in 2007 alleging that RFID implanted chips may compromise privacy because there is no assurance that the information contained in the chip can be properly protected, notwithstanding health risks (chips can travel under the skin).
