I had all kinds of screwyness on osx. I had two of the damn firefox icon popping up and disapearing on the dock over and over again. I'm still using firebird at this point cause I don't feel like making the switch yet, when I did last time none of my anything worked.
I think that if you were to find someone who has slept with women at least partially due to their nerdy prowess,/. would be the place. You do have a 5 digit user number though, I hear all the women looooooooove that.;)
Only if there isn't a good possibility of a slipery slope effect happening. Look at library filters right now. That was a slippery slope arguement and it was right on, way too much gets banned accidentally.
Except their GMO plants ARE capable of cross pollination.
I'm a little lazy right now but here is an article/paper about managing cross pollination between GMO and non-GMO plants. I can only assume that if management of cross pollination is required then it must be possible.
What normally would end up happening with cross pollination is that only some of the genes are in the new generation so the terminator gene is not in the new plant. I you look up some of monsanto's actions in canada and mexico against farmers whose fields have been contaminated by GMO crops I think you migh come away with a different view on things.
Last but not least, Monsanto has a patent(copyright?) on all the gene sequences that they insert into their GMO. This means that if your crops get cross contaminated you owe them money. And trust me they'll come to collect.
When you get arrested for standing on a sidewalk with more than 9 people you come back and tell me the government isn't repressive.
And I suppose I should clarify my first comment; things will change but not for the better, in the long run.
As for being part of the solution, I contribute in ways other than voting. I've helped organize a local group that feeds the hungry. I have put myself in the path of the war machine in an attempt to stop it. I've even run for city council.
My principles are just that, principles, despite my poor spelling, and for you to call them a cop-out is as absurd as me calling your voting a cop-out because I know it doesn't make a difference. So if you'd like to keep on lending your approval to corrupt politicians be my guest, but don't come crying to me when the fascists take over. and for the record, I don't mean bush.
voting is a scam. Nothing will be changed at the ballot box. Moreover, I have every right to complain whether or not I voted in the last election. I have these things called principals, and they rule out voting for the lesser evil, or even dignifying the repressive american regime with some sort of tacit show of my support.
Hey, I still call myself an anarchist and let me tell you, we have no part in holocausts or all that other bad stuff. Of course anarchists have only had power, so to speak, for like a year and a half during the spanish civil war.
check out Orwell's "homage to catolonia" for a good book about it.
Those are commonly occuring bacteria, they are everywhere.
This makes me think of the rants against dihydrogen monoxide.
How does a kit to extract, and only extract, DNA somehow magically make a bioterror lab?
It doesn't. Its like saying people with spectography equipment can make explosives because they will know elemental composition. The "them" he was refering to was the equipment used to test whether food is GE or not.
But that would require physical exertion. That reminds me of the only segway I have seen in real life. Some guy uses it by my house to ride up and down the bike trail and smoke.
"By definition any new technology is going to have unexpected factors and consequences, thats the part that makes it new"
nope, what makes it new is that we didn't have before. Like with computers. First we didn't have computers, then we did. when we first got computers, they were new.
All the things on your list, except current forms of anti biotics, we're around well before even civilization, it doesn't make exploding populations not a problem.
And as for his great "we started using condoms" bull shit, I can only reply by checking the statistics on world population and noting that the advent of condoms had no significant effect.
Occasional? Someone hasn't been paying much attention.
But really. I think it's not only childish but counterproductive as well to call Bush dumb or compare him to a monkey or whatever. It is funny to hear his misstatements, though.
In fact I was responding to the statement "Ummmm while it is fairly global, the biggest issue remains the US, which is also the only country not doing anything about it." I personally don't think the US is doing enough about pollution and energy consuption, but neither is most of the rest of the world.
I believe that altitude, humidity and climate all play a role in what kind of gas works best. As would figuring out what there is way too much of in the air already and trying to restrict more of that from getting up there.
The ice caps melting would produce less potable water because it would melt into the ocean and not into rivers or lakes. This would cause a rise in ocean levels thus causing a reduction in above-water land mass and a reduction in freshwater supplies because of increased salt water penetration in river basins and estuaries. In sum, not only would there be less land, there would be less water, higher temperatures and a hell of a lot more people.
One more thing. If the demand for oil continues to increase at the rate it currently is, in whatever form, then there is no way we could hope to grow enough biomass to replace traditional oil supplies.

If I were a CEO i'd go for the hermaphoradite. If it makes financial sense it must be right.

And the B is for Bureau, as in bureacracy, and that is the real reason they are involved.

Yeah, we just got a more polluting way to walk.

If we stopped eating meat there'd be more than enough land.
And how many of those countries do we currently have, or previously have had in the last 50 years, troops in?
I count at least 10. But I don't have a list right now.
I believe that altitude, humidity and climate all play a role in what kind of gas works best. As would figuring out what there is way too much of in the air already and trying to restrict more of that from getting up there.
right. Cause China, Russia and India are all right on top of the problem.

and what was the point of this thread?
"Cheaper is better. If you get the same thing for a lot less money, it s much better deal."
that was the point of the second half of the tagline. Its cheaper because everything is cheaper there.
I saw a documentary made for the ten year aniversary that had an interview with him, or some one whom was supposedly him.
It's like the Beastie Boys said, "you've gotta fight! for your right! to party!"
Sometimes that requires the use of fire extinguishers.
