Comment on The Laptop Quandary by Andrew Hrubik

@ Kristi Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with the Mac due to a friends and family discount I was able to get which made it every so slightly cheaper than the Sony. So far the battery life has been as advertised. 3-4 hours on heavy use; 8 – 10 hours on light use. There is definitely a learning curve with OSX but I’m getting better each day I use it.

I really don’t know much about computers at all, but I bought a Sony Vaio back in ’06 and have been very pleased with it. With the exception of the fan that keeps it cool breaking down about 3 years ago (cheap and easy fix), it is still working great to this day. I like it and it works for everything that I need to use it for.

Comment on Video Blog One | ESXi 4.0 continued… by Andrew Hrubik

Its a little box I built for about $300. The MBD is a MSI 945GC with realtek chipsets for audio and LAN. I think that’s what’s giving me the issues. In order to make it work I’m probably going to have to swap that MBD with an all Intel board or build another one just for that purpose. It running a Celeron so I wouldn’t be able to do much more with it as is but I’m fixing to retire a Core2 processor which will drop in nicely.

Comment on Is our President an American Citizen? by prsmith

Thanks for the clarification and for doing the legwork. It is dismaying to see the negative direction our laws are taking relative to citizenship. Why don’t they just do away with the Constitution and national borders and declare us all “citizens of the world” and let it go at that?

Again, none of this addresses the ‘natural born citizen’ clause. Assuming Obama is a citizen, there are still hurdles to overcome in my mind based on founding fathers’ notes, letters, etc., the Law of Nations which clearly directed their thoughts as proved by the wording in Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 10 and the purpose for adding a, to us, undefined three word clause.

First, thank you for reading prsmith.

You’re going to have to help me understand your comment. You say that Page 236, Paragraph 7 says: “…” but U.S. law isn’t written like that. U.S. law is written in Title’s, Chapters, Sub-Chapters, Section, etc… like I stated above. The law above, as quoted by you, clearly states in section 1401,g,II that 2 of the 5 years must be after the age of 14 making 16 the lowest age not 19.

I’m using Cornell Law school as my reference to this @ http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode08/usc_sec_08_00001401—-000-.html Now if you would prefer that the reference come from the U.S. Government you can follow the instruction below to see from there.

Visit: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/uscode/
In the main search box on the front page type “8USC1401″ and press enter.
Select “TEXT” from the corresponding link.

Now I have stumbled upon an amendment made to the law that I will be researching and posting about soon. Public law 99-653 amended 8|1401|G|II to the current 2 of 5 in 1986. Before that the law read 5 of 10. I will doing research to find out if 99-653 is applicable to persons born before 1986 or not.

Edit:
A link to 99-653: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d099:hr4444:

Also I forgot to address your second comment. The law above reads in its title “Nationality at Birth and Collective Naturalization”. I believe it is the intent of Congress that this law determines “natural born” status.

3. Title 8, Section 1401 of the U.S. Code (aka the Immigration and Naturalization Act, Title 3, Section 301) states that:
a. a person born in the united states is a citizen
g. a person born outside of the U.S. to at least 1 citizen parent satisfying these requirements:
I. the citizen conferring citizenship must have been in the U.S. for at least 5 years
II. 2 of the 5 years must be after the age of 14
————————-
No, Page 236, Paragraph (7) says:
“a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was phuysically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years. . .”

Fourteen plus five is 19 – Stanley was only 17.

================

You still haven’t addressed the ‘natural born citizen’ issue?
