    These alternatives have been proven to be secure, likely just as secure as the 'big boys' like PGP and GPG.

    GM crops have the potential, hell, they're *necessary* for a great number of third world countries to be able to grow enough food to feed their people.

    The problem is that GM crops are subject to "vendor lock-in", are sold by abusive companies, and aren't sustainable in the long-run. Read more.

  7. P.S. Found the rock plant! by mattr · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Jurassic Plants Make A Comeback
    Well thanks to slashdot I got my brain back in gear on this question after several years. I am pretty sure that the thing which looks like a rock is in fact a lithop, which is a type of succulent from South Africa often called a living stone, of the the plant family Mesembryanthemaceae (now called Aizoaceae) or "Mesembs" for short (google that and go nuts!).

    Specifically it must have beenL. olivacea which I guess means olive colored, since as in the photo it had no markings, it just looked like a beautiful hunk of chalky, greenish colored velvety living stone. Can't believe I found it. Some really bizarre, ugly, and beautiful pics on this page. Also more interesting photos here>/a> and here.

    I also am thinking of throwing out the pencil plant (Euphorbia tirucalli) stem which will certainly take root by itself, but apparently causes cancer! I wouldn't want a cat to eat it.

  13. Re:Christianity... by Earlybird · · Score: 3, Informative · on Tolkien's sources: Icelandic Sagas and Beowulf

    I don't remember the exact reference -- though I think it's mentioned in the introduction to the first book of The History of the Lord of the Rings -- but Tolkien later regretted stealing names from Voluspå (note correct spelling; the title means "wolf's prophecy") for The Hobbit, saying that with hindsight, choosing the names was admittedly pretty silly and unoriginal of him. In writing its sequel, The Lord of the Rings, he was forced to keep those names.
