I would be delighted if it were.

People should remember what Citizens United v. FEC was about : they were barred from advertising their movie (Hillary : The Movie). The law sought to clamp down on "advocacy advertising" 30 days before a primary election, or 60 days before a general election. The FEC construed the movie promos were such advertisements. And that is crap. Could a far reaching FEC construe newspaper editorials as advocacy advertisement and censor them?

No one is being deprived of medical benefits. The individual is of course free to pursue these things outside of the employer plan. I did actually see a tweet where a guy was wondering if a manager at Hobby Lobby saw a woman taking a morning-after pill in the break room, could he smack it out of her hand. I have no idea if he was serious or not.

You can see what kind of mess might be made by looking at what some progressives would like to do - restricting speech rights for corporations, but with an exception for media corporations, so that freedom of the press is not curtailed. Just think about that - government deciding what "corporations" (basically any enterprise bigger than 2 guys and a website or photocopier) are real media companies and which are not.

I label you "denier." ;)

Three out of four of the above comments are jokes. But AGW proponents apparently have no sense of humor about this.

Advanced compression algorithms.

A better idea is to automate the texting.

I would still have been born, just not so buggy.

If the game is "good enough" (i.e., the consumer weighs the good vs. bad and the good comes out on top), it will be bought. No need to punish EA if you're fine with what they're doing.

Never mind that. I might be old, but I'm imagining what a Beowulf cluster of these would do.

So do overeager compilers suffer from premature optimization?

I'm done with mod points for a bit, but someone please give this guy an Informative. Unanimous (or nearly so) decisions rarely involve the most controversial decisions that make the news.

More like serendipitous, but yeah, nice catch.

I think the story affected me most as Charlie was on the downhill side, after his intelligence peaked. He could recognize what was happening to him, struggling desperately to find an answer that would stop the degradation. It was profoundly upsetting.
