  1. Re:Going to get modded down as sexist for this, bu on Why Girls Do Better At School · · Score: 1

    Your argument might be more convincing if you provided evidence that this cultural backlash against men has actually resulted in a structurally-supported norm of female privilege in each of the arenas you mentioned.

    The inexitent rights of a single father. The preference of the courts to give child custody rights to the woman. The decades men had to fight for the right to paternity leave. OK?

    Western governments subsidize crops produced in their own countries and African producers can't compete because of those subsidies - that's not capitalism.

    Who's talking about competition? African producers don't have enough basic food to worry about export.

    Right, because reworking large parts of a plant's metabolism is exactly as difficult as adding a gene for a single protein. *eye roll*

    I present to you the terminator seeds, where the reworking of reproductive metabolism has been done successfully.

    The US has starving communities in America, but it's the best example for how wasteful people can get and the best contrast is Africa. Since the US has benefitted enormously from the slave labor they got from Africa, one should think they are indebted to taht continent for the rest of its [the US] existence. Sending troops to cultivate African soil instead of killing Afghan and Iraqi civilians would be just right, but the US is in the business of exploitation, not improvement.

    Africa could more easily benefit from overabundance of food in Europe.

    And I'm going to call bullshit on that:

    To feed a growing world population (with an exploding middle class demanding more and better-quality food), we must take advantage of all the technology available to us, including GMOs.

    There is OVERPRODUCTION of food, but the capitalists do not allow for redistribution of goods (they prefer destroying food) so the USA is fat and Africa is dying of starvation. Also the GM crops don't have significantly higher yields for this "argument" to hold water or even grain. The sole purpose of GMO now on the market is to control food production (see India's "success" with GMO) or we would see abundance of drought and frost resistant, nitrogen fixing crops.

  9. Re:The reason why is on Worldwide IPv6 Adoption: Where Do We Stand Today? · · Score: 2

    With peak IPv4 far behind us, why do we still see limited IPv6 adoption?

    The reason why is simple: because we haven't run out of IPv4 addresses yet.

    Close: because for the time being the costs of the transition are higher than those of maintaining the status quo.
