I think many folks are niave as to how those pretty fruits and vegetables get to their kitchen.
GM can offer viable, safe alternatives to all the pesticides/herbicide and fungicides being applied to the vast majority of crops. Face facts, people buy fruits and vegitables based on appearance, texture and to a small extent smell.
So called "organic" (definition still unclear) will never fill the demand of 5+billion mouths. Not to mention that fungal and bacterial pathogens of F&V's can produce a number of toxins which can be lethal if ingested in quantity. Organic growth is not without its drawbacks.
foremost, Ive noticed the arguments surrounding GM 's turn irrational very quickly with sometimes unwarranted speculation.
in answer to your question; NO abit says it can't do the FC boogy-woogy. Bummer!
at first folks thought maybe a bios upgrade and an adapter board, but abit has responded with a "NoGO...sorry!" I'm sure they'll have a kickass board by the time I'll want to upgrade (7-8mos)
go to bp6.com for more info.
On another note, I just remembered I had to switch the AGPCLK/CPUCLK ratio to 2/3 (ie. 66Mhz) for my ATI AIW 128 32mb to work properly. May not be critical to other new boards. MPEG2 playback and 3D games would lock the system up otherwise. You know...I might just try 1:1 again, I can't remember if I had bumped the cpu(s) core voltage to 2.10 before or after trying 1:1. I mean logically, it should run fine at 1:1 (100MHz) since PII and PIII mobos agp are natively running @100.
On still another note, abit has a last minute flash bios update out, again available at bp6.com; says it's supposed to fix something y2k related...who knows? bp6.com has links to easytofollow instructions on flashing; basically make a bootable disk with upgrade, boot from disk, run a.bat file, reset bios and enjoy.
I was worried A BIT myself about 55O before going for it. I've read a lot about fans and cooling etc. Frightening me etc. After overclocking 2.5 months with cheap AOC fans, I'm not at all frightened anymore. I've read somewhere that the sink size itself is more important than the fan. AOC is pretty big. A little Radio shack heatsink goo. Had to bump core voltage to 2.10 to get Q2 and MP2 Playback to run. Other than that I'm doing cartwheels.
My buddy was impressed enough to have me build him an identical machine. I got two more 366's from a completely different source (access micro) and they overclocked as my first set, with no surprizes or locks.
BeOS has some nice SMP/multithread benchmarks and demos to burn both chips in...I don't do command line..gave it up for Lent back in '91.
Yah, but those diskdrives sure were much louder back then, whinin' and a whistlin'...And before Hard drives in PCs, those floppies were constantly going...cartridges by the pile.

EVERY single gene they intend to use and every metabolic pathway possible will have been characterized and accounted, computer modeled and simulated. Creating the beasty would just be one of those "we told you so" kind of events.
Scientists, by the way, know why anthrax and e. coli kill people. They know also that bombs kill people faster and much more efficiently and predictably. They're not idiots..they're scientists.
I am a real biologist...and I play one on TV too. It's an old semantic argument about how life can be defined. Viruses lack organs, but nevertheless reproduce.
Simple viruses can have as few as 5 or 6 functional genes within three reading frames. Clever little compact beasts.
I'll believe a novel 300 gene "lifeform," as you define "life" when I see it...Sexual or asexual, but reproducing.
I think very few understand chinese culture, including many chinese...its a big country. I'm confident The Pentagon has painstakingly isolated critical and strategic systems from outside infiltration. Contrary to popular belief we're not that dumb! Hell...the pentagon invented the internet...not Gore. We're probably in a much better position to counter any assault as well. And yes the pentagon thinks about this stuff daily. What would you think about if you had a few hundred billion to work with. China knows whats good for business. Warefare isn't. We'll be big pals when everything falls in place with the WTO, just watch. Freedom is pacifistic by nature. I mean look at this place!

as the little voice said to charlie m. "do it"

Remember TRS-dos? (trashdos), L-dos, Newdos-80, AppleDos, CPM, PC-dos(IBM says...woops!), Atari dos...oh yah unix and aix?
Long live scarfman!
Let's see a Celly366 goes for 40 bucks (I'll take two)+ BP6...140 bucks...hmm! = easy 550x2 with oem fans
W2K/SMP takes advantage of both
not to mention...It's just seat of your pants fun! Like hotroddin' use to be
enjoy life, eat out more often
I guess I better go crawl in a hole and tremble. 100% safe?
I'm even frightened of bell curves now.
by the way I try to read as little as possible,,,it frightens and confuses me.

Viruses have far less than 300 genes. They've made novel viruses for years. Crank up the gene machine, cut and paste...no big whoop...life!
