The Whigs weren't a third party. They were the Democrats only opposition - the "Republican" party hadn't even formed yet. The Whigs were in a way the successors to the Federalists, who weren't even a real party. It sort of worked like this:
Federalists vs. Democratic-Republicans
Whigs vs. Democrats (they dropped the hyphen)
Republicans vs. Democrats
Keep in mind, despite the Republican vs. Democrat situation existing for more than 150 years, each party has vastly changed its stances and constituencies.
If you want to talk third parties, you should talk about the Know-Nothings, the Bull-Moose, etc. Keep in mind that when it comes to American politics, in general, American third parties that have any success fracture from the majority parties because they disagree with one, or a few, issues, and are then rolled back in once a majority party endorses their view.
If you're blocking civilian access to sites advising them on emergency procedures or preventing them from accessing medical assistance, that's pretty shady.
So, you're thinking a country that would invade another country would even bat an eye at something considered "pretty shady"? Come on, this is war - all bets are off, and the only rule is that there are none.
I'm willing to bet that if you gathered some Falcon 4 gamers, they'd all do any training etc. required to pilot one of these bad boys. This, however, makes Ender's game spring to mind.
In all seriousness, I wonder if gamers could make an ideal target for UAV pilots? Would said gamer have to become a fighter pilot to have the skills/knowledge to pilot said UAV, or could they be flying them while skipping the more intensive pilot stuff?
89% of the market runs Microsoft's implementation* of OpenGL2 - so following your logic (DX10 is irrelevant), OpenGL is irrelevant.
*Note: I don't understand how everything works in depth, and I'm assuming that Windows users run Microsoft's implementation by default. If I'm wrong in assuming that, please, correct me.
If more people stood up to, and openly defied the courts; we'd have a better court system.
If more people stood up to, and openly defied the courts, we'd have more people in jail - and a court system with less credibility. If an average citizen can shrug off a court order, what use do are the courts?
No, instead, the companies/corporations gaming the system should be held responsible. Honestly, I don't have a solution for this problem, but I can't find a justification for destroying the credibility of our judicial institution - what good could come of that?
Because batteries aren't so great. They're only reasonably efficient when they're nice and warm, they're heavy, they're expensive, and they wear out fast.
I'm an idiot. I quickly googled for a NASA confirmation of the name, found the pdf, linked it, posted it, opened it, and checked the date. May 2003.
Well... At least the name's right.
The summary refers to the plane as the X-38B, and the article refers to it as the X-37B multiple times. The plane is the X-37B according to NASA's PDF .
I just want to know how the subby changed a 7 to an 8 with copy/paste.
One thing I might add - if you're an avid gamer, or a competitive person (if nothing gets you going like a game of Halo, or Starcraft), you might try translating that into a workout. Find a friend, and go play some 1v1 basketball at a court. Race bikes. Something, anything that is competitive. Even if you're bad at the chosen task, if you find it fun, that's all that matters - you'll get better overtime, and you'll get in better shape.
If you're afraid it'll be embarrassing, make sure you try this with close friends - no matter how bad you are, they'll just be happy to see you and be happy to be playing with you. After all, the best part of the this work out is at the end of the day, it's just a game.
The June sales for the PS3 are likely due to the release of MGS4, and the MGS4/PS3 bundle. A similar effect occurred after Halo 3's release (with regards to the 360).
Personally, I think he's one of the greatest actors out there today. It's a shame to see someone so underrated, when they clearly have so much potential. I quite often think to myself while watching a tv/movie "you can clearly tell they're acting" etc. However, with Fillion (in Firefly, especially), I've never thought that - I'm always too busy being enthralled by the excellently portrayed character.
This may be a stupid question, but couldn't you circumvent the whole "message sending" thing by sending through email/over the web? I mean, if you bookmark the page, it wouldn't be much of an inconvenience.
Gameshows, specifically the E3 of yore, was often loathed by developers (mostly large, well-known and well-established devs) because it took a significant time out of their development cycle. I don't have any specific quotes, but I vaguely remember Bungie mentioning after its E3 06 video that they disliked the "circus" because it took nearly a month out of their development cycle.
Shouldn't we, as gamers, be somewhat happy that these shenanigans aren't delaying our games as much? I'd rather have a game I'm excited about in my hands a month earlier, or have it be a month's worth more polished, than have a sneak peek at it a year before its released and half of the features in said sneak peek are cut.
That's not to say I don't think every developer hide their game til release - I think they should show some of it pre-release (for the fans' sake) - but on their schedule, not on some expo's. That way they can show the game when they're ready, not when society dictates.
If the average human lifespan were extended to 1000, would the average human age at a normal speed (i.e., like now), then hit a certain specific age and remain at that age until the end (everlasting youth), or would the aging be constant?
I know it's not exactly what you were talking about, but when it comes to a software company that people actually like, Blizzard comes to mind. I can't recall hearing a complaint about them; it's always some sort of praise (well-deserved, in my mind).

I decided on C# because there is at least one significant OSS project in that language (mono) (gnome-do) that I know of, and because I had been told it was a relatively easy language to learn, especially for a novice.
Do you have any recommendations? Those would be very welcome - the future's always good to think of.

When I say complete novice, I mean a few weeks ago I couldn't read the most basic of code. I struggled and struggled to grasp some easy concepts (largely botched by the online tutorials I was trying to learn with). Then I purchased this book with the aid of my brother, who is a fairly experienced programmer, and finally I can write some fairly simple programs. No, this book isn't a reference book, and that will turn off a lot of vets - but it's meant for people like me. I can't emphasize how fantastic this book is - it's interesting, not a mind-numbingly dull read, and it's even made me laugh a few times.
I plan on using this book as a launch pad - hopefully, by the time I finish it, I will have a strong grasp on the fundamentals of C#. From that point I hope to contribute (if my skills are solid enough) to some OSS projects, and likely purchase a more in-depth, experienced-oriented book.
After struggling for weeks with crappy online tutorials, finding a novice oriented book was a dream come true.

Now they'll remember even more franchises to milk.
So no you don't have to loot furiously
You say that as if looting furiously was bad!
