Does /news/ think Smith's resignation as head of the department of work and pensions will have major repercussions for the Conservative party? Cameron is already having to come out to defend himself after Smith's attacks while on Marr, Osborne looks to be in a terrible position with opposition mounting in his own party.
Will Labour be able to capitalise on this? Yougov had their first poll with Labour with a one point lead a few days previous to the budget, though it should be added that Yougov's online polling...

It will be all but forgotten by 2020.
There will be large repurcussions for the Conservative Party, yes. This basically puts the nail in the coffin for Osborne's hopes of becoming the next leader.
However, I doubt Labour will capitalise as they are currently incompetent
Give it 3 months and nobody will care.
Is it even clear why he resigned? I've been hearing both pensions and EU shit.
Heavier than Higgs-Boson.

Is it a new particle though? An addition to Quarks, Gluons, & Bosons?!

Nah we actually had a few threads about this a few weeks ago but they are probably archived by now. Still relevant though imo. It turns out that this move by the US government comes in tandem with similar moves by the British GCHQ and the German Government equivalent. Probably in other allied countries as well but we just don't hear anything about it in our press.
Enjoy your van

Aww, too bad Trump. Another one of your fakeo threats about Cruz goes down by an actual judge, too.

The point is that he's a legitimate candidate, a natural born citizen in the opinion of the court. You can have more than one citizenship at birth.
Is he canadian or not?
He knows exactly what to say.

The only Trump could possibly win before the convention is if Kasich stays in. Kasich staying in the race will just make more states like Illinois, where Kasich and Cruz had about the same number of votes, and combined had more votes than Trump, but were both completely crushed.
Kasich staying in is a win-win-win. Either Trump wins enough to win it outright (which according to the delegate math, he's still on track to do, not sure where this brokered- sorry "open" convention talk is coming from) thanks to Kasich taking #NeverTrump votes OR he has so many...

This was big news indeed. The whole Google GO thing was probably a way to convince the average Korean that spending is justified.
And, while the spending is justified indeed, it's a scary amount. Lots and lots of academics will be working on this.
Finally. Once we get good AI maybe NPCs in games won't behaves like retards.

Anybody here heard of John Lang, a man who whose house was stalked by random groups of people after he because exposing the corruptness of the Fresno Police department? This all happened in January of this year, reaching it's end when he was found in his house either stabbed to death or dead from smoke inhalation (his house had also been sat on fire). You can find footage of his stalking ordeal here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMl9Ncxd-jhZ81s4z3XA6w/videos
