Koch has his vision for politics-- it's right wing. Soros has his vision for politics-- it's left wing. Yet a lot of right wingers will surely disagree with Koch's brand of a libertarianism, and Soros's neo-Popperian schemes are but one vision of social liberalism. There are only a few people in this country with the wherewithal to fund politics on a large scale, and those few people, put together, cannot possibly serve as a surrogate for an American Body Politic.
The rules were recently changed so as to thwart bipartisan sensibility in the house.
Though at least 28 House Republicans have publicly said they would support a clean CR if it were brought to the floor -- enough votes for the government to reopen when combined with Democratic support -- a House rule passed just before the shutdown essentially prevents that vote from taking place....
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), presiding over the chamber, told Van Hollen that the rule he was asking to use had been "altered" and he did not have the privilege of bringing that vote to the floor. In the ensuing back and forth, Chaffetz said the recently passed House Resolution 368 trumped the standing rules. Where any member of the House previously could have brought the clean resolution to the floor under House Rule 22, House Resolution 368 -- passed on the eve of the shutdown -- gave that right exclusively to the House majority leader, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia.
Right. And the house gym was essential because house members are too cheap to lease a proper Washington apartment. They live in their offices, and the place would be a little rank if they couldn't shower for free.
just wait for 6 months. back in 1990 do you know how long it took for most games to come from console? well most games didn't get ports at all.
Back in 1990, I don't think most people cared. Computer games were a different genre. If a game wa ported from he PC to the console, it was laughably simplified Of course, we on the Mac side often pined for decent PC ports, but that's different.
"Four save slots? Was this written for a machine with no operating system? How hard is it to display a standard "Save As" dialog?
I find it amusing that the suggestion is film was designed to make white people look good
You honestly believe that a film stock designed to make white people such as Clark Gable, Katharine Hepburn, Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor,and Cary Grant look good wouldn't sell? Are you nuts?
Now, perhaps Sidney Poitier should have been included in the test sample, but racial bias and shortsightedness might have prevented that.
Hmm. The court ruling glosses over this friendly sparring.
After the decree was approved, no major developments occurred in the case for the next several years. Until 1981, the entries in the court record[16] concern primarily the patent licensing provisions.[17]
139*139 This was the status of the Western Electric suit when the government filed a separate antitrust action on November 20, 1974, in this Court against AT & T, Western Electric, and Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. (Civil Action No. 74-1698).[18] The complaint in the new action alleged monopolization by the defendants with respect to a broad variety of telecommunications services and equipment in violation of section 2 of the Sherman Act. In this lawsuit, the government initially sought the divestiture from AT & T of the Bell Operating Companies (hereinafter generally referred to as Operating Companies or BOCs)[19] as well as the divestiture and dissolution of Western Electric. While the action was pending, the government changed its relief requests several times asking, at various times or in various alternatives, for the divestiture from AT & T of Western Electric and portions of the Bell Laboratories.[20]

It's very common for "sources and methods" for a piece of information to be more highly classified than the content of the information.
Resources exist to be exploited, albeit not indiscriminately.
So... you're a theist?
My television is about five feet away. Small living room. It's nowhere near eighty inches though.
But 4k was designed for very large tvs, and projectors.
But what if you want an eighty inch TV? Won't 1080p look a little pixelated?
1941 to 2009. 68 years.
Color is, and ever shall be a passing fad. Now get off my lawn!
> 3D-capable TVs continue to gain market share.
But are people buying 3D blu-rays? I doubt that many of those sets were bought specifically for 3D.
My local Fox station devotes 14 Mbs to much of its programming. "Bones" looks suitably icky.
BenHur is encoded at 27 Mbs. That's not unusually generous. Many Criterion blurays overflowing with extras, are in the 37 Mb/s range:
Try holding the mac book air in portrait mode and reading a book on it.
But once the engine has been created, the artists still have to take advantage of it.
Does OSX 10.9 still choke on PDFs with embedded JPEG2000 graphics?
There have been some graphics advances since the days of Quake 3.
Experian needs to close its business. Pay fines, restitution, etc, and distribute whatever remains to it's shareholders.
Congress is on track to work 119 days this year. Long hours? Hah!

US v AT&T 552 F Supp 131 (1982)
Perhaps "Civil Action No. 74-1698" offers a clue?
That's a bit dated, isn't it?
Gershom Gorenberg has brought it up on several occasions. In his view, electoral considerations in the Knesset mean that Israel has a less than sane approach to educating the next generation.
They turned him into a trickster God.
It even has a name: Cartmel Masterplan. I quite like Sylvestor McCoy's take on it-- it made a nice change from the sixth doctor rubbish.
