Did you ever get an answer to this question?
Here is what I propose. See what you think.
This is what Hawaii says:
“Original forms from the time of birth are used to produce computer-generated documents recognized as official birth certificates in the state of Hawaii.”
As Clinton says, this is a case of knowing which meaning of “is” we are talking about.
Notice the plural use of the word “form” — forms—
Notice the use of the word FROM, consider it in the sense of a sale at a store with items FROM $7.99. There is more after that FROM.
Now notice these words, “produce computer-generated documents”
They have honestly said exactly what has transpired.
And here is where I think they covered their tracks to keep from getting into legal trouble:
The TXE is no mistake or blurring. It is intentional. TXE is a file extension associated with Enriched Text files. (I picked up this definition from here:
http://www.liutilities.com/products/winbackup/filextlibrary/files/TXE/
Enriched text is a formatted text format for e-mail, defined by the IETF in RFC 1896 and associated with the text/enriched MIME type. It is “intended to facilitate the wider interoperation of simple enriched text across a wide variety of hardware and software platforms”.
That definition from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enriched_text
The following post asks the perfectly right on question:
#1406 asks shouldn’t these match?
And this post really shows some clear information:
#1426 Notice the pixelation surrounding the center line text that does not appear around the text in similar letters in the same stamp in the text above and below the center line.
Here is what I am saying....I may not be specifically on to what they meant by “TXE” but I believe they meant to say “TXE” and I am pretty sure what they are really and truly saying is that what we are seeing is an ABSTRACT (translate compilation) of all the “original forms” (translate ammendments, etc.) -—FROM-— BHO’s time of birth [-—to present-—] put together in digital form ie. “computer-generated documents.”
What do you think?
I think you way off base. Why would an official document contain code in an otherwise inoculate sentence?
I have requested that Sharon Rondeau look, if she has a copy, or ask Miki Booth to look at her stamp on her long form. It was stamped in March of this year.
But WHY would it be in onaka’s HAND stamp? Danae says the onaka stamp is NOT machine generated. It is a hand stamp.
So it makes no sense that it would be done to indicate a file extension. And clearly, if it WAS computer generated, it would be an alteration of the doc if it IS changed, which makes the entire document invalid.
