The WaPo article on this was pretty detailed. There are a lot of variables that could be weighted differently, especially lack of survey of large employers and controlling for the "what if Seattle's economy wasn't booming?" question. A Berkeley study was also released a week earlier that basically said, "working as designed", so I wouldn't take this study as definitive as opposed to informative.
The Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority (barely) for about 5 months between the time Al Franken was sworn in and Ted Kennedy died. That was it. And there are more obstruction techniques than just filibustering.
I thought Baghdad Bob had died? "We will destroy Coalition Forces in the Mother of all Battles, their blood will run like crushed date juice down our beards" and stuff like that.
Good point. 500M of ocean is a trivial distance for today's oil platforms. If processing methane as it exists below that depth/temp gradient could be made profitable -- no earthquakes in OK or polluted fresh water.
There is nothing that says that the government will force ISPs to block illegal content. That language allows customers on either end of the ISPs pipe to bring action against a blocking ISP, and the ISP can no longer say, "We can block or not as we want".
1) They have all of 2012's emails, no problem. 2) They have already pieced together most of the her lost emails from threads of the other users on the To and CC lists.
Maybe some Dems did hold their nose and vote in the Republican primary. So what? After gerrymandering, this is the only way to exercise a meaningful franchise.
Is buffer bloat -- the over-buffering many ISPs do in the hopes of giving better last-mile performance, but which actually breaks TCP's internal throttling mechanisms -- part of what is at fault, here?
[Nazi architect and politician] Albert Speer said he regretted most that he grew up with a technical education only, in architecture and engineering. He learned little of the liberal arts and humanities, and nothing of philosophy.
"It was this lopsided education that made it so easy for many of us to fall under the spell of Nazism," he said. "We were technical barbarians, who did a fine job, but never inquired about the purpose, or the ultimate results.
I have worked on SDS940 computers (dates me, eh?) used in DE's demo -- they were mighty for their time, and ran time-sharing networks, etc. By the late '70's, a simulator of the SDS940 running on a Dec-10 was faster than the actual 940 hardware.
$700M? $800M? A Beeellion dollars? This mis-attributed number seems to keep going up and up. $634 million is the sum of all contracts let to CGI over seven years, not the amount expended on the web site.
To amplify, with Gmail, we [non-business] consumers are not Google's customers, we Google's product. Perhaps Google can make this clearer what we are 'paying' Google in order to get our storage and mail services, but it was never a mystery to me.

In recent posts about implementing languages like Clojure over.NET's virtual machine (and why those projects tend to atrophy and die), the point was made that C# has a very good compiler, so the VM running underneath need not be as powerful as compared to what the JVM offers.

The other half of older workers in America would GTFO if health care wasn't so f'd up.
And, all of the older workers would love for the youngers to age up so that rediculous low-contrast web page text would go out-of-style.

Ah, those first atomic explosions got someone's attention.
After due consideration, they've stayed the F away out there, since.

I did read it. It does not say that.
The Doctor should be arriving any time, so to speak.
I believe the courts forced IBM to share APIs for their front-end processors mainframe links so that Comten products could access them.
One may appreciate Marx's analysis of the problems of capitalism, while still decrying his solutions and those who claimed to be implementing them.
1) The new Thor apparently shaves her armpits.
2) Again with the "female does what a male does, but without the powerful hammer"

I'm sure she thinks that America has the best health care delivery system in the world, too.
We recently saw the play "Tribes" which deals with much of this. Synopsis:

..God rested. And, obviously wanted a cold one, just like those made in His image.
Q.E.D. the universe is laced with booze.
Any other questions Intelligent Design can answer for you?
