Aye, it's a crying shame that more geeks don't see through the pharmaceutical lies that bring us GM food, instead they cream over it.
The crasy thing is that *we don't need more food*. We pay farmers to sop growing it. The price is kept artifically high despite the massive over production.
And that's in spite of the fact that much of the grain goes to raise animals to feed us. An unbelievably innefficient system.
In their landmark book Population, Resources, Environment, Stanford Professors Paul R. and Anne H. Ehrlich stated that the amount of water used to produce one pound of meat ranges from 2,500 to as much as 6,000 gallons. [1]
Even if we believe the beef industry that asserts it's more like 500 (they subtracted things like the amount of urine expelled!) compare that to 50 gallons per pound of apples.
Food science has made some astonishing things out of a few soy beans. I've not had any meat or dairy for 11 years now and in recent hospital tests all of my body chemical levels were normal.
Mind you, huge tracts of moncultured soy beans aren't exactly the planet's best friend but I guess you can't have everything.
yes the thin waist stuff was to counter the charge of politically correct
Disney is almost as reactionary as you can get without becoming propaganda.
I appreciate your link but the term has moved on from that early definition. Rectionaries use it as a term of derision to label any progressive or inclusive thinking as "loony left".
And as a political act, stealing terms and abusing them is a proven tactic. It's demoralising.
In the UK most political action toward and of the common people is ruthlessly mocked in the popular press and I'm sure that must be the case elsewhere.
Those who coined "political correctness" as a liberating way of thought seek to enable and free people from the cultural constraints of our heritage. Breaking institutions is a necessary and difficult task in human society. Leave them in place too long and many will die when they eventually crumble, break them too soon and people become confused as the cultural landscape shifts around them.
Sensible companies have methods to centralise document storage and management.
Terminals in business are commodities. Paying a premium for all the features in Windows is expensive.
Does every terminal need Digital camera capabilities when you've got 100 terminals in the room?
When every penny counts the case for sticking with windows for the clients grows harder. If you've invested in servers you can probably keep those going while you phase in alternatives.
A feature rich client is an expensive extravagance.
In the second quarter to July 28, net income was $5.2m, down from income of $32.9m on revenue 64.6% higher at $427m. At the mid-term stage, net income was up 48.5% at $88.5m on revenue that increased 101.7m to $1bn.

you'd think they were trying to get rid of people !
Binary computers actually arrived on the scene over 200 years after Boolean algebra was invented and refined by George Boole and first presented in a paper by him in 1854.
"Boole's system of logic is but one of many proofs of genius and patience combined." was how De Morgan commented. It is not recorded how many whiny teens said "so what".
It's first real practical use was for telephone switching.
surely you'd want a unit in your home that you connect to the internet and then connect to that. This kind of buffer is essential. WAN acess to LAN devices isn't always so desirable.
I see the doctors taking away your granddad's contact lens business meant he couldn't afford to have your father educated which leaves you somewhat struggling to communicate

anyway back to the xmen
I'm sure Jack Valenti will enjoy it.
Yes because a rat's body behaves just the same as mine.
y, i notice all of their femail characters are firmly planted in the feminist world.
No ridiculously thin waists.
No acting pathetic and being rescued by tough guys.
Yes Disney, that paragon of political correctness.
I bet you don't even know what political correctness is. It was a phrase spawned by the right to crush any dissenting thought.
Complain that disabled people cant get access to a building and you're being "politcally correct"
Think that the femal uniforms shuldn't have a plunge cleavage and a short skirt - politcally correct.
Think that you shouldn't make fun of the way people naturally look, politically correct.
Think that slaughtering millions of animals for food is just a bit over the top and you're a goddam freak of nature.

pure lies
*I* can see the difference between 70 & 100 fps
120fps is probably the premium.
more fps = greater reponsiveness fool the desire for more fps is only marginally to do with the visual.

informative!! idiots
hehe those darn century numbers
well I was approximately correct.
my point was that sometimes an idea can arrive ahead of it's time
Mind you, the palindromic properties of numbers will probably have to wait for quite some time.
NVidia write off $21m of stock

Come on, you can do better than that.
tbh, life is boring up @ the karma kap. I try and lose a few points just to have the fun of getting them back again.
so again your intuition of me trolling is wrong.
To be honest I'm not sure I want to trust the intuition of an umemployed "not that great of a programmer" when it comes to number theory.
Stick to whining about being "mis-moderated".

How are you going to connect to it remotely at all if it has no incoming signal capability?
anything that has incoming can be flooded to death whether it wants to respond or not
surely you'd want a unit in your home that you connect to the internet and then connect to that.
