100% of the losses are "the total losses"
25% of the total losses are in the PCU
20% of the total losses are in the semiconductors. The summary repeats the word "total" to clarify this, but you misread the summary as 20% of PCU losses are semiconductor (or 5% of total) which is not correct.

If 20% of the total losses are in the semiconductors, and the new ones have half as much loss, then the net result is the elimination of 10% of the existing total losses.

I think there were other reasons to vote against it, if only because Lloyd Doggett is one of the most liberal members of the house.

Indeed, daily kos calls the watered-down bill "an authorization of domestic spying in violation of the 4th amendment" and is congratulating the 121 members who had the backbone to vote against it.

So I think your attack on (at least part of) the 121 is unfounded; they are a mix of those who refused to authorize spying with those who thought existing law was great. Likewise, the 303 who approved are probably a mix of those who thought this "reining in" was better than nothing, along with the truly evil who did the closed-door rewrite to make it mostly ineffective.

It's perfectly fair. Those good people working at Bethesda Softworks should take this opportunity now to leave and form their own company, before they have yet another idea that will instantly be owned by Zenimax. Then Zenimax can keep what it wants most - all the IP for the games it bought - just lose all the people that came with it.

The purpose of the fork is to strip off useless crap, including the stuff forced upon Mozilla by Google. Paying them money to keep up the good work is the opposite of retarded.

Also, ellipses shouldn't be used to join either independent or dependent clauses. Using them in that fashion makes your posts look foolish.
