Having recently served on a jury in a VERY emotionally charged case (vigilante aggravated assault related to alleged sexual abuse of a minor), I was extremely impressed that the prosecutor, judge, and defense attorney all went to great lengths to discourage us from relying on emotion. I was further impressed that one of the members of the jury allowed through was actually a practicing attorney (albeit in corporate law).
The unemployed woman who said her brother-in-law had been arrested for "youthful indiscretions" that turned out to be a pending federal matter, but could be impartial because she "didn't even like the guy" was not picked.

In conversations with some of the Hubble's designers, they've mentioned that the imaging electronics would also blow out more or less immediately if Earth were even to enter the Hubble's field of view. That lenscap thing always faces Earth when open for that very reason.
Lots and lots of entities contribute smaller or larger amounts of time/salaries to building it as a right-of-way for all. Need to go somewhere the roads won't take you? Pitch in and get the road built. Want someone to fix a particular pothole? Pay 'em to do it.
Our ancestors came here legally and created a melting pot.
Current illegal immigrants come here and live in self imposed enclaves and many have a notion of someday annexing the Southwest back to Mexico.
Self imposed enclaves like the Chinatown in every major US city? Little [name of European country] in every major US city? Irish South Boston? Pennsylvania Dutch country? South Asian Jackson Heights in New York? The German/Scandanavian rural upper midwest? The Jewish neighborhoods of 20th c. New York? The Vietnamese neighborhoods in every west-coast city?
Every new immigrant group in the US has formed enclaves in cities to survive, been discriminated against and reviled, and called un-American before being regarded as quintessentially American. It's not a great American tradition to be cherished, though.
It was all about the multiplayer balance. The Super Shotgun, the super health/armor refill, and Dead Simple made the game perfect. One on one, you could have a ten-minute fight in that level where nobody died, both players were firing almost continuously, and you knew exactly who had the upper hand at any moment.
Of course, Heretic blew both Dooms out of the water in multiplayer - I maintian that it's still the best-balanced FPS ever created.
ILM's Hollywood monopoly? Leafed through an issue of Cinefex lately? There's a heaping double handful of large VFX shops and an army of boutiques doing a booming business, and every large project these days employs multiple shops.
Usually a different production company is hired to make the title sequence of a movie. And for most stuff coming out of Hollywood, it's the most interesting part of the film.
Except that the number of non-smoking bars in most major cities prior to such a ban was 0. And I haven't seen a rash of bars going out of business in NYC since the ban.
Yeah, because when MS is really serious about making something that Just Works, especially a security product, they turn to their industry-leading in-house talent.
Compare that to the thousands of people that die in Chinese coal mines every year.
Not that I have any numbers to back it up, but how many uranium miners die per year? If you're going to take the whole fuel cycle into account, do it for both.
No, the problem is in defining "intelligence" at all (who's smarter, Shakespeare or Newton?), particularly in any way that isn't heavily reliant on context or culture. As an example, one of the subtests in the Wechsler IQ test (the most widely used one) involves providing verbal definitions for a series of cards with pictures on them. In an early version of the test, "helicopter" was scored as a fairly advanced card. Once the Vietnam war brought images of helicopters into the news on a daily basis, the validity suffered.
You know, like naming the governors of the colonies we've been establishing around the world.

Do you mean 16bits/channel or do you have superhuman perception?
Those of us in the VFX/3D animation world have many splendid uses for floating-point color in our pipelines. Besides clamp- and banding-free color correction, float color allows us to create bitmaps representing the entire dynamic range of a scene for use in 3D and compositing software, so that things like sunlight reflecting off 5% reflective glass render at proper brightness, and we can use on-set panoramic photos as light sources. Once we're done messing around with the color, the output will of course be at a lower bit depth.
Also, your example of CMYK being useless is laughable. Prepress is so pervasive and common a use for imaging software I'm surprised you saw fit to link that diatribe. I don't give two shits about your dinky inkjet driver - when I'm spending $80k printing out a few thousand nice glossy booklets, having control over the colors isn't unreasonable.

Just like how Kent State ended the protest movements of the 60's?
Here's a hint. It involves defeating the Axis powers in a global conflict.
We remember Macarthur AND Roosevelt.
We remember Neil Armstrong AND Kennedy.
We remember Dr. King AND Johnson.
See a pattern?
We can remeber Cerf AND Gore.

Last human, alone... The doorbell rings.
Or daylight to people work with them.
Funny, in about 2 weeks, you'll have an opportunity to personally contribute to making some headway on that front.
maybe this guy.

Even better. If it fails, then they've just backstabbed someone know to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

No, I believe there are 7 or so smoking-allowed bars, primarily Cigar bars (e.g. the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Terminal).
Except that the number of non-smoking bars in most major cities prior to such a ban was 0. And I haven't seen a rash of bars going out of business in NYC since the ban.
Because the administration is impaled on Hanlon's razor. They are both malicious and incompetent.

The "companies" you refer to are public libraries, public schools, and in some cases, entire countries' internet links.
