    I was only trying to point out that to me it appeared the /. crowd was wanting it both ways. Save the software from patent trolls, yet save the poor old man from big corporations. Effectively asking for opposite things in patents. Else where on here after I posted this I read that this person is a poor example. I do think the patent stuff is messed up, but don't have a solution.

    It isn't just that the round, red tomato-like cardboard balls at the store lost their flavor because it wasn't a priority in the breeding program - it appears that the flavor and appearance may be mutually exclusive.

    Fair point.

    I was told you need to chop off the top at some point so the growing is focused in the fruit, not more "vine". I have only grown for one year though.

    I would up mod you. So far, while porn jokes were humorous, you are the only one who has given me a good answer. I guess you are right. For a lot of things, it won't be useful. For some, you can. Maybe I'm worried that everyone will want a 3d page, even when it is of no use to those people. Someone above mentioned 3d news. Help me if news does that. Can you think how they would abuse the ad space? And, no I'm not closed minded, I just didn't see a use until someone with a decent explanation laid some out. :) I can see science in 3D now. THAT would be worth it. I guess maps in 3D, History places in 3D. Ok, just make sure the whole web doesn't use it for now reason (flash, cough, cough.)

    I guess you might be stating my opinion; but my thought is why? What is the 3d web going to give me that 2d doesn't?

    But the keep adding "services" to there site. Someone said that corporations get "addicted" to making more money. Why would FB add MORE to their site? To make more. I am beginning to think most "non physical things" are going to do this. You keep making more and more until you die to your bloat. Just hope you jump ship at profit and not die state. I am starting to wonder how MOST the internet can do anything? If you use it as a store front, and have something "physical" it works.

    I think some of the "news" sites adds are the worst. The less that loads on the page with no script, the worse that organization is. IMHO.

    Ok. So someone invented this thing called a virtual shopping cart. Another company "tweaked" the code slightly and had a shopping cart themselves. This sounds familiar. So which is right? You can tweak it? You can't Tweak it? How much Tweaking is a new design?

    I think I read about this on /. actually. I think some people might have even said the person claiming to have the original idea was a patent troll? I'm not saying which side is right. I don't know if I have an answer honestly. But you have to think, isn't the exact same argument?

    I take tomatoes. I didn't think about it until I grew some last year. The ones in the store are all perfect. And taste bland. Boy were the home grown ones better. But we do this to have them year round and consistent. I want to get better at cooking to the season rather than to the bland stuff. I do try and cook from scratch. So that helps knowing what is in your food.

    I think what scared me the most is what antibiotics are in it, and what heavy metals? If you dupe me with something that is edible, but sugar related I wouldn't be as mad. I don't know, are those just scare words?

  19. Re:Death camps not enough on Can You Potty Train a Cow? · · Score: 1

    I think the only problem is there isn't enough space. People want to have a yard, and a house (at least where I live). It appears as if a lot of people don't like living in a cramped apartment with no space. I can't tell you what drives people to want to live in New York though I guess. Anyway, so if your free range needs so much space per cow; where you getting it?

    People have told me I'm crazy, but I think we should invest in "food Scyscrapers". So farm/scientist that knows more about what plants need what soil, and crop rotation make a scyscrapper green house. You water at the top, and it filters down the layers. Footprint is smaller, and you can have multiple "farms" stacked. I'm sure people will call me crazy here too.
