Thanksgiving Bits

An anonymous reader writes "Whatis.com has a holiday themed tech quiz, Thanksgiving: Do you speak Geek?. Bit stuffing, anyone?" And reader Punboy writes with some hope of building a better turkey: "Apparently the biotech guys are at it again, this time with our poultry! They're mapping the turkey genome in hopes of providing better breeding techniques, and remove the 'guesswork'." And while food is on your mind, here's a story about the challenges of feeding a hungry planet.

That's the thing. I don't know that we need to feed the poor. In everything there is a winner and a loser. It is unescapable. No matter how much money, food, etc we throw at poverty, there will always be someone who has less. As such, I think foreign aide from the countries that have to countries that have not is more than acceptable at its current level.
