FOV certainly can be. If the screen is a fixed distance from the eye, it takes up a certain percentage of your FOV based on screen size.

Next you’re going to say that he if he had any backbone he would have sought approval for military action against a nation using chemical weapons on its own people.

I get the Obama hate. Really, he's not so great. He's mostly Bush 3. Realistically, there is no way to sell a military confrontation with Russia to the House of Representatives. He couldn't even get a single republican to pass their healthcare bill, ie the one Regan's people wrote. They will not authorize him to go to war, and he won't go to war without the constitutionally mandated declaration. I don't like the guy, but we need more of that.

Dateline 2015: Sarah Palin can now see the US from her porch.

Bit coin is the worst case scenerio for a Libertarian. Everytime the Bitcoin community fails it serves to re-enforce the natural down sides of pure classical liberalism. Having absolutely no "full faith and credit" behind a currency is a preplanned disaster. Having no oversight or regulation is a disaster. Untill some entity emerges that becomes authoritative in punishing or advertising bad players Bitcoin doesn't work as currency very well. Individuals certainly aren't going to sort through the block chain to divine if they are dealing with a bad player, or being issued stolen coins.Currency needs to be easy to use, otherwise it creates a market ineffiency.
