There are a lot of assumptions inherent in your premise that it was the "racist" southern Democrats voters that switched parties, leaving the "noble" southern Democrats to stay behind. If that was the case, then why did the likes of George Wallace, Lester Maddox, and Robert Byrd keep getting re-elected by the Democrats?
Also, the South experienced a population boom after the '60s as Northerners fled their labor-controlled states to come to the Southern states with right-to-work laws. I think that one could argue that it was that influx of individualists that swung the South into the Republican fold.
"All". Really? The first "racist" southern Democrat that I could think of was George Wallace. Wallace was a life-long Democrat, except for 1968 when he ran against Nixon and Humphrey as the American Independent Party candidate. Before that, he ran for the 1964 nomination of the Democrat Party. After that he served for 12 more years as a Democrat Governor. He even ran for President twice more attempting to get the Democrat nomination against George McGovern and then Jimmy Carter.
Of course, there is Robert Byrd, longtime West Virginia Senator. Even if you don't consider West Virginia a southern state (which Wikipedia does do, in fact), Byrd was from North Carolina, so he counts. Of course we all know that the Democrats kept re-electing and celebrating him, despite the fact the he was a former Ku Klux Klan "Exalted Cyclops" and that he filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The next prominent "racist" southern Democrat that I can think of is Lester Maddox. He stayed a Democrat for his entire career, except again for one attempt at the Presidency as the American Independent Party nominee. After that failed, he went back to serving as a Democrat.
I'm sure that there are some, but I really can't think of any "racist" southern Democrats that switched to the Republican Party. It looks to me like the Republicans lost the propaganda campaign and people believe that it is what happened.
And just a reminder, only 64% of Democrats in Congress voted for the 1964 Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans.
Interesting. What are the laws on this issue in your country? Do you have the equivalent of the U.S. Constitution's Fifth Amendment, such that the issue is even debatable?
The download link for the PDK used to be right under the link for the SDK on the Developer website. It was very clearly spelled out which kit did what.
As before, I'm sure that you didn't mean to leave all of the esteemed Democratic representatives that are co-sponsoring the bill:
Rep. John Barrow [D, GA-12],
Rep. Karen Bass [D, CA-33],
Rep. Howard Berman [D, CA-28],
Rep. John Conyers [D, MI-14],
Rep. Ted Deutch [D, FL-19],
Rep. Ben Luján [D, NM-3],
Rep. William Owens [D, NY-23],
Rep. Adam Schiff [D, CA-29],
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz [D, FL-20],
Rep. Melvin Watt [D, NC-12]

And the theoretical safe levels would only apply if these machines are set up properly. There have been cases where xray machines have been mis-calibrated and put out much higher levels than were safe. And that was in a medical facility dedicated to safety.
I seem to recall that also happened with a gamma-ray machine!
That's interesting, I did not know about this. But, wouldn't you say that the U.S. has voluntarily removed itself from jurisdiction within those boundaries; however, it could re-establish jurisdiction, if it chose to do so? If that were true (and I don't know that it is), then it would only be (it seems to me) because the land is "owned" by the U.S.
I fondly remember TopSpeed Modula-2 (Modula-2 being another Wirth language). Modula-2 fixed a lot of the Pascal deficiencies and the TopSpeed compilers seemed to produce very fast and compact code.

Very well said. In fact, I was fighting the urge to attack the "choice" argument in just the manner that you suggested might happen.

Okay, there's got to be a better joke in there than "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," but that's all I could come up with.
Weren't you supposed to start that paragraph with "IT'S BEEN SHOPPED"?
Nice try at a diversion. You answered a different question.

Ack. That should be "take exception here".
Obviously, I'm going to have to exception here. In my opinion, Occam handled parallelism beautifully. A practical implementation of CSP.

Is it functionally different than the "Are You Living In a Computer Simulation?" argument? Is that rationally unsupportable?
The "Venture Bros." gave attention to that detail. Watch The Brown Widow in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o12YySfp25A

Google acquired SageTV several months back. Has anyone heard about Google's plans for the SageTV technology and developers?
