Went by self-identifying. Most of the editors posted with labels such as "liberal," "green" (which is "left" in all the countries I know of) and "communist." Very few self-identified with anything that could be considered "right."
Even within a country it generally remains leftist. When the John Edwards adultery scandal broke, there was a concerted effort to keep the news out of Wikipedia using every reasoning necessary. It was only included when Edwards admitted it, and then grudgingly.
Or even the case of Obama's citizenship. Whether it's true or not aside, there were cases before the Supreme Court, and the fact was kept out of the Obama article, not notable, tin-foil hat. You'd think a case at the Supreme Court automatically makes it notable within the USA. There was an effort to cover-up his anti-gun activities too.
I'm surprised some of the bad stuff about Al Gore remained, but it was edited into obscurity. His work on the Clipper Chip and Key Escrow got moved away and renamed. His personal wasteful lifestyle is mentioned, and the next couple paragraphs are used to mitigate the fact that he doesn't practice what he preaches.
Meanwhile, negative information was fairly welcome for any American who could be considered "right."
Like firing prosecutors. Like if he fired Fitzgerald and the Blago prosecution kind of stalled, questions into contacts with Obama not asked. But the decision making behind the firing was not accessible by FOIA or Congress.
To me that makes a huge scandal possibly worthy of impeachment.
It would go nowhere if that did happen. It would be deemed not newsworthy, not worthy of criminal investigation.
Simply because the press won't push it as a problem.
Rove using RNC accounts for business? Palin using online mail? Major scandal.
Obama using private accounts for government business? Don't worry about it, he likes his Blackberry.
Unless all of Google's servers are already pegged, highly unlikely, we need to search more. That will divide the energy their datacenters already use among more searches.
This is the reason I can't stand the Climate Change (or whatever they're calling it today) movement. They're worse than PETA in trying to dish out the guilt to a ridiculous extreme. Another equivalent, PETA kills most of the animals given to them, while CC/GW/GC folks like Al Gore love to fly around on private jets and throw big, wasteful bashes. My "carbon footprint" is probably a very tiny fraction of Gore's.
I see 52" LCD TVs that just over half the power consumption per square inch than a 27" CRT, using only a little more than twice the power. I see 32" LCD TVs that have less total power consumption than a 29" CRT.
If they are talking about twice the power consumption, they are comparing an average-consumption 42" LCD to that much smaller CRT. It is simply not fair, especially since the price point of that LCD is higher than the CRT, making it not equivalent as the "average" that people would buy.
The basic fact is that LCDs save power. If you want to use the same power as your CRT then buy only a marginally larger LCD. But they want to demonize LCDs in order to have more control over the populace and expand government to administer that control. And as usual the media helps them do it.
The LA Times is now an official nanny state propaganda source.
Their power ratings define the average size for a CRT as smaller than the average of the LED. While this is true, it is using statistics to tell a lie in favor of the regulation because the arrangement of the chart gets to show LEDs with higher power consumption.
Back in reality, most LEDs take less power per square inch than a CRT. But they get to raise the "power hog" scare because LED TVs tend to be bigger.
She is not a power-driven career politician. Most of the nominees had been working on their political career for decades, constantly maneuvering and making the connections to attain more power. Obama and Clinton are perfect examples of this. For Palin politics is more something she fell into out of necessity because she wanted to change things for the better in her town. Holding office was the best way to do it, and thinks kind of ran from there.
She is not beholden to party. She has made her career exposing the corruption of those in her own party and then taking their place in office. She is a perfect complement to McCain to start the cleanup of Washington corruption.
This is the EXACT opposite of Obama, who is his party's lapdog. Generally in this country the Democratic party is owned by the entertainment industry, among others. This appointment is Obama doing the bidding of his masters at the behest of those who control the purse strings. It is the equivalent of Bush putting those with oil interests in charge of energy-related policy.
Game developers had a hard time learning to take advantage of multi-core, so even earlier 360 titles weren't that hot. It's even harder with the PS3 with one CPU plus 6 processing elements.
Not so much the tools, but a complete philosophy change in the design of the code.
I was watching interviews with PS3 developers, and one who had made a decent-looking game said all they used was the PowerPC core and none of the SPEs.
Any performance deficiency compared to the 360 is just a programming issue. The hardware is there.
Their netbooks were basically overglorified organizers. These netbooks are fully-functional PCs in small packages, an arguably different market segment.
You could run a 100 horsepower equivalent car at full power for about 45 minutes. Counting you won't be using full power most of the time you could get a lot of mileage out of one of these.
Release of greenhouse gasses already has a movement founded upon it.
Or, wait...
I think you're on to something. Instead of creating a new man-made catastrophe for this we can just shove it under the Global Warming, uh, Cooling, uh, Climate Change umbrella. It already has widespread political support and is already designed to unjustly enrich third-world countries at the expense of more successful ones. Why create a new way man is destroying the Earth when we can use the current one?
It's always the fault of man's activities, so what did we do? Bonus points for inventing a causal activity that gives leverage to suck the richer countries dry and infringe on the sovereignty of all nations.
7 mbps cable Internet alone is $49.95/mo. Basic digital cable TV alone is $68.00/mo. VOIP for US/Canada/PR alone is $49.95/mo.
The only relation from Internet/VOIP to cable TV pricing is discounts:
Knock $7 off the Internet price if you also have cable TV. Knock $5 off the VOIP price if you have Internet XOR cable TV. Knock $10 off the VOIP price if you have Internet and cable TV.
Why not just leave them be and send them home to their families.
Or more likely, as has happened, send them home so they can start engaging in more terrorist activities.
It has to be one or the other with people like this. Either convince them to stop hating non-Muslims and the freedoms of the West, or kill them/lock them away forever. I don't see any in between.
Most printer paper these days is essentially throwaway stuff, like much of the rest of our society.
Archival paper is special. Not only is it acid-free, but it is made with a base reserve of alkaline to resist later exposure to acid in the environment. It also has a different composition, most notably low amounts of lignin (from wood pulp). Basic stuff should last 100 years, good stuff maybe 500 years, the best maybe 1,000.
I bet your Bible is yellowed and the paper is slightly brittle. I have one like that. That's the acid in the paper causing the brittleness and the lignin causing the yellowing. It will continue to deteriorate unless it's very expensively restored.
People worry about the permanence of information in the computer revolution. Before that was the problem of permanence of information in the revolution of cheap wood-based paper. Before that things were usually written on parchment/vellum, which lasts effectively forever if kept in moderate storage conditions.
when an intruder is in your home there is an assumption of some threat to your life or limb
Once an intruder is already in your home, you have to show that you were in fear of your safety (or sexual assault for women) in order for shooting to be justified. Automatic justification only applies as the person is breaking into the home.

We must make sure no information gets in that exposes the heroes of the left or refutes the causes of the left. Wikipedia has a proven far left bias.
If the government wants it to be terrorism in order to invoke the removal of your civil rights, then it is terrorism.
City of Industry is at about 98 meters above sea level. This would increase the distance the point moves.

It is easy to cut the parts count when you ditch USB ports and card readers.
Maybe rocket fuel or some explosives-building component. Those seem to be in large supply in Gaza.

Despair has a trademark to use it in its specific business. Nobody's affected unless they try to use it in similar commerce in a similar manner.
