There are CAME-RAS

Sun Feb 22, 2009, 12:03 PM
"You never leaved your room."

Watched the second part of the DeathNote live action movie.
That thing is so easy to laugh at. But you know, the plot in the movie eventually detaches completely from that of the anime, and then it becomes cool. In fact, I ended up preferring that plot over the one in the anime. It's creative and so much more satisfying.

Oh and Rem is a major fail in the movie. The voice is a DEEP MALE VOICE. And the personality is WRONG.

That asside, it's very worth watching.

Favorite quotes are:

"There are CAM-ER-AS!"
"You never leaved your room."
"This is a list of criminals that have been killed by Kira.

Let's do a scan to make sure they're alive."

Beware of Photobucket

Sat Jan 24, 2009, 10:50 AM
Photobucket's been shown to host difficult and potentially harmful popups, whether knowingly or unknowingly. It may be wise to avoid accessing this site at this time.

The popup will appear saying that you have malware on your computer and that you should do a scan from their website. Whether or not you agree is regardless as it will redirect you to the scan either way. Upon trying to close the browser (or, theoretically, redirecting to a different website) you will receive another popup asking if you're sure you want to cancel.

This has occurred on two separated computers exactly the same way, and, in fact, has occurred to me here on DeviantArt more than once, however much less persistently.

Got this popup while using DA.

The Safari popup appears when you press ignore.
Pressing ignore AGAIN takes you back to your page.

I believe this has happened before, and I think the "Go Back" button takes you to their "virus scan" page which is allegedly what it does.

Should this be reported to a DA admin perhaps?

Barack Obama, the second black president of the US

Thu Jan 22, 2009, 10:57 AM
he Volokh Conspiracy relays the legal analysis of one Professor Ken Katkin, who wonders in print who was president betwen the time President Bush's term expired at noon on Tuesday, and President Obama took the oath of office late at 12:04. Its a thought experiment more than anything, but its a fun one.

(1) The 20th Amendment provides that "[t]he terms of the President and Vice President shall end at noon on the 20th day of January…."

(2) Art II., Sec. 1 Cl. 8 provides that "[b]efore he enter on the Execution of his Office, [The President] shall take the following oath…."

(3) President Obama did not take the Oath of Office until about 12:03 pm today, after Vice President Biden took it at about 12:01 p.m. (Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman were still fiddling at noon).

(4) Therefore, there was a brief window (just after noon) when George Bush and Dick Cheney were no longer President and Vice President, but Barack Obama and Joe Biden also were not yet qualified to enter on the Execution of their offices.
With me? Now for the fun part.
Katkin goes on to explain that the Presidential Succession Act states that when the president and vice-president are no longer qualified to hold their offices, as President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not, first the Speaker of the House and then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate shall assume the presidency, "upon his resignation." But since neither Nancy Pelosi nor Robert Byrd had resigned Congress, neither could become president.
So…

(7) Section 19(d)(1) of the Presidential Succession Act provides: "If, by reason of … failure to qualify, there is no President pro tempore to act as President under subsection (b) of this section, then the officer of the United States who is highest on the following list, and who is not under disability to discharge the powers and duties of the office of President shall act as President: Secretary of State …."

(8) Notably, Section 19(d)(1) does not condition the Secretary of State's assumption of the powers and duties of the office of President on resignation of her current office, nor does elevation of the Secretary of State raise any constitutional issue of interbranch appointment.

(9) The term of office of the Secretary of State does not automatically terminate at noon on the 20th day of January.

(10) On January 20, 2009, Condoleeza Rice was (and is) still the Secretary of State.

(11) Accordingly, from 12:00 noon until 12:01 p.m. (when Vice President Biden took the oath of office and became Vice President), Condoleeza Rice was momentarily the Acting President of the United States, our first African-American President.
Congratulations, Condoleezza Rice, our first African-American (Acting) President, and first female president too! Which, of course, makes President Barack Obama our second black President.

Can't open iScribble <.<

So my connection got closed in the middle of an IMPORTANT drawing which I have to show someone TONIGHT. And I don't know if it's still there, but I can't get back in. When I load the page it just stays blank and never loads the input window.

The home page works, and it shows that a bunch of people are online. What do I doo?! D:

DA happens to be running dog slow as well -.-
