Can you elaborate on pre converting them? Do you mean with an outside application like handbrake or an automated one in the arr stack?

But your quote was specifically about modern reprints and nothing about why they original writers capitalized specific words.

What exactly do modern reprints have to do with why the founding fathers capitalize certain words?

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

The founding father's used capitalization to put emphasis on certain terms. It seems to me that they wanted the well regulated Militia, made up of the people, to keep and bear Arms to protect the State and by extension themselves from a tyrannical federal government. If they intended the people to bear arms, why did they add the terms Militia, State, and Arms with emphasis but the people without it?

The only other place in the Constitution that speaks about what constitutes a militia is the fifth amendment, and it specifically only protects a Militia when it is in service to the government, which again is capitalized because they wanted emphasis that it was a proper militia and not a make shift one.

702 allows the US National Security Administration (NSA) to collect information/data worldwide which has the side effect of collecting some US persons information/data. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is a government agency that's supposed to monitor other agencies for things like privacy concerns in regards to national security laws. The PCLOB has agreed with the EFF that 702 should have significant reform to improve protections for US citizens before it gets reauthorized. 702 expires at the end of this year, and the EFF believes it should expire first to remove any information that has already been collected.

One of the biggest concerns is that US law enforcement can and has been searching this data without a warrant, thus violating US citizens right to privacy.

I thought I was overreacting thinking the refs were out to get TAMU, but it's nice to have my craziness validated!

Can't wait for Texas to get to the SEC!

 

Judge has ruled that Donald Trump committed fraud for years while building the real estate empire that catapulted him to fame and the White House.

Judge Arthur Engoron, ruling Tuesday in a civil lawsuit brought by New York’s attorney general, found that the former president and his company deceived banks, insurers and others by massively overvaluing his assets and exaggerating his net worth on paperwork used in making deals and securing financing.

 

Republican efforts to impeach President Joe Biden suffered a blow after fresh evidence emerged showing his bid to remove Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin in 2015 represented U.S. government policy.
