Speaking of BOTH sides, now let's hear from a Libertarian or a Progressive
Within a four-state radius of Colorado you can listen to a Libertarian rant nightly up to three hours, if you can handle it (I can't), and he gets paid to do it rather than the other way around. There must be a similar somewhere for an opposing hard core leftist outlet but I haven't looked. What is a "Progressive"? I thought that was just an alternative term for "Liberal".
Amusing conspiracy rant but it doesn't have anything to do with 527 groups. To make my point, here is a URL for the list of the top 527 groups nationwide: http://www.opensecrets.org/527s/527cm tes.asp?level=C&cycle=2006 Note that of the top 10, only numbers 4,5 and 7 are Republican and only one, 9, is reasonably non-partisan.
Your Xeon system with the SCSI disks is hugely faster doing DBMS than the system with the SATA drive in large part (probably larger than the other reasons you've listed, although those do matter) because DBMSs tend to throw a heck of a lot of disk IO commands at the disk subsystem all at once. The SCSI disks and their controller are simply better able to handle the barrage. I'll be that a test with the drive subsystems reversed shows that while the Xeons are still faster, the P4 is only somewhat behind, not waaaay behind.
Ah, there's the Why, a loophole for Campaign Finance law
Which still makes it odd for Democrats to oppose it as far as I can tell. In my state the best funded 527 groups are liberal groups.
And this open a completely different can of worms: Campaign spending "reforms" are, IMO, unconstitutional nonsense. There's nothing in the freedom of speech clause that says its only free speech up to a certain artificially imposed spending limit. Things like yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre and libel/slander aren't meant to be restrictions on free speech the way campaign spending restrictions are meant. And there are equally deep pockets on both sides willing to spend to get their side heard.
The few people I've ever know anyone dumb enough to be swayed by a last minute campaign nasty-ad are also the people who don't trouble themselves to go vote anyway.
isn't the memory access bottleneck a rather fatal, and obvious, flaw in the whole design? Unless I'm missing something
What you're missing is that Intel's PC CPU business is all about the CPU. The chipset and all that other tedious little stuff is just there only because it has to be for the CPU to function. Their entire focus is CPU, CPU, CPU. Look how fast it runs through clock cycles! Look how many cores and pseudo-cores (HT) it has! They've been doing this for ages. Recall the first generation of Pentium 2's had to deal with PPro chipsets because introducing a new chipset for a new CPU took a far back corner burner to the new CPU itself as long as it could be made to function.
Yes, they would, using the same logic as where the work is actually done whether it's from one state to another or one country to another. And to get you to pay it would probably be deducted up front and you'd have to file for a refund. Does India's equivalent of the IRS give a discount for income taxes paid to other countries like the US's IRS?
The red muscle referred to is the same type found in both the salmon shark and Grizzly-food salmon.
Working muscles give off heat?

Warm-blooded Fish?

Since salmon's propulsion muscles are like heart muscles, they never get tired and are always working, doesn't it stand to reason that a muscle that's always working is always generating heat? Expending calories will always have some excess waste heat unless salmon have figured out how to have 100% efficient muscles. So then why is this a suprise?
Sorta makes you wonder what kind of place they replaced it with.
Probably a very deep basement directly under the Parliment building with tunnels to the same under 10 Downing St and Windsor castle. The problem with bunkers out in the countryside is getting to the thing when a nuclear missile submarine can wipe out the city with about five minute's notice. Any modern equivalent can't be further away than a run down the hall to an express elevator.
The history of the place has to be put together from different parts of the article. At first glance it seems that it was created from scratch for government officials but read the whole thing: First it was a mine which was worked out. The mine was converted into an ammo dump for WWII, at which time it became a military installation. And then in the 50's, before ICBMs and missile submarines, it was finally made into a bomb shelter. Fairly reasonable then when nuclear warheads numbered in the dozens worldwide. The only real question is why it wasn't decommissioned in the 70's (when ICBMs and subs made getting there from London unlikely) and turned into something else instead of waiting til now.
Sorry, but the autoloading rifle was already invented. Just because there is a different model does not mean some new thing has been invented.
'Socialist' economies like Sweden, the U.K., Canada, France, et al.
Last I checked, Saabs, Land Rovers, and Fiats were for sale for money and the workers at the factories were paid wages that they were free to spend in stores as they see fit. You mistake countries with some socialized institutions for socialism, which is not a correct analysis. (The poster who started this thread was promoting complete socialism.) Here in the US, for example, there is socialized medical care in the form of Medicare and Medicade and there is socialized living in the form of Welfare. These programs go through staggering amounts of money raised by taxes, they just aren't as big and invasive as in the countries you list. If you are in the US, perhaps you've seen those bumper stickers that read "Work harder - Millions on welfare depend on you!".
Furthermore, as high as taxes are here in the US, they are MUCH higher in the countries you've listed. Socialism vs free market boils down to one question: Do you think government beaurocrats spend your money more wisely than you? I think not because I think I spend my money wisely. From your blistering criticisms of markets, it seems you do not and would rather someone else do it for you.
Only 1 film in 12 makes a profit? Perhaps the films are not intended to make a profit, but instead are money laundering?
You're kidding, right? One in twelve movies making a profit is stellar performance. Compare to Hollywood, where no movie has ever made a profit. See: "Hollywood accounting".
People have been inventing stuff for a long time, regardless of the profit motive. In a socialist society those who want to make games will do so regardless (I'm not talking about Stalinism or State Capitalism, I'm talking about real socialism where people are free to work for themselves in a democratic manner)
Name one invention from a socialist non-Stalinist economy. Heck, name one socialist non-Stalinist economy. (The Ilse of the Utopians in More's Utopia does not count)
Explain how game writers whose games are not accepted by the players in the socialist economy would be supported by the other workers any more than game writers whose games do not sell well in a market economy. Why should the other members of the socialist society support the writers of games they don't want? Finally, since history's cup overflows with examples of failed socialist economies (and no success stories), who the heck in one has time to play video games and support game writers whose games no one wants to play when everyone's too busy scrounging for food?
I don't get it; these things move about as fast as a turtle and the wind blows them clean as new. But no matter how fast I drive down the highway the dust just won't blow off my car.
Corruption in government is the rule, not the exception
While I think you can make a case that office holders may have a base human nature to *want* to be corrupt, we should more correctly say something like "The amount of corruption is inverse to the accountability of the officeholders". Let's take China and Britain for example. In China, there is pretty much no accountability so there is staggering amounts of corruption. Any "investigative reporter" who leaks a corruption story about anyone higher up than the local dogcatcher finds themselves disappeared in a hurry. In the UK, there's a scandal of various size every once in a while, but they're caught out and sent off in shame and or shackles. That's not to say that every corrupt politician in the UK is caught, but neither are 100% of them doing their very best to bleed the country dry for their personal gain.
This really reminds of of McCarthy. People eventually saw him for what he was, a fucking lunatic
McCarthy was way too brusque for someone in elected office but hardly a lunatic. The KGB's Verona files revealed that there WERE a couple of hundred people on their payroll working in the State Department and FBI during McCarthy's time in office.
I bet you're also confused about Senator McCarthy (who was concerned about Soviet spies working in sensitive areas of the Federal government) versus the House subcommittee on un-American Activities (whose concern was communist/socialist promoters in Hollywood. Movies like 'The Majestic' would have you think both are the same, but they were completely different.
When I see the US in an Internet crisis in the UN, I'll point out that the guy responsible for fixing that is worse than useless
It doesn't need to be fixed; it needs someone to stand firm and not let control be wrested away by regimes that want to use control to oppress. If you're right that Bolton's in charge, then I suddenly feel better about it. He won't cave in. You should be happy for freedom everywhere. Oh, wait, I'm replying to Doc Ruby, well known slashdot Marxist and America basher. In that case, yeah, let the Chinese government in on the action! They're definitely looking out for the good of the people and the voices of freedom! Just as the students in '89.
It's a troll because the issue at hand doesn't have much to do with the United Nations other than helping sponsor a conference that wasn't a UN event. And it surely doesn't have a damn thing to do with Bolton. If you weren't so busy taking cheap swipes, a quick read of TFA reveals "David Gross, who headed the US delegation at the Geneva talks..." Just in case it isn't clear: "David Goss" does not equal "Mike Bolton". You just came out of the blue with nasty sarcasm against Bolton that has no place in this thread and that's why you're a troll.

A paper providing details on the chip will run in Nature on Wednesday
I was thinking nevermind how the new chips run in nature, I want to know how well they'll run locked up in my server room.
