Depends. I doubt any beef in a McDonalds hamburger has ever tasted Alfalfa (more like chicken droppings and molasses), but a lot of them are fed some hay, subsist mainly on grass, and are only fattened on corn and grain.
I think they are talking field crops. Say a tomato takes 6-months to grow. Every few days you either water it, or it rains on it (in both cases I think they are counting the water the same). 95% of that water drains past the plant deep into the soil water table, 4% evaporates right back into the air (becoming clouds again), and 1% gets absorbed into the plant. A day latter 99% of that absorbed 1% has evaporated off of its surface. Repeat for 6 months.
Agriculture is the most destructive force on Earth, and in basically 100% of the cases the causes of the droughts and problems to begin with.
The only safe and sustainable way to feed the vast majority of people is grazing animals, animals who need to be there in the first place for the ecosystem to not collapse. Feeding the world is not a 0-sum game and cannot ever be. It is not about what takes the least amount of water/damages the least land/hurts biodiversity the least/takes the smallest amount of resources to grow, it is what generates the most clean water, improves the most land, and stimulates the most biodiversity.
Having worked a lot in a highschool computer lab/library. A lot of modern teachers are not really qualified to watch their class. They can teach, as they have been taught to do, but they were not taught to be baby sitters, and as such largely the new guard are incapable of controlling their class.
And he will continue to receive his government salary and do his day job? So what does he just have two jobs now? During the day to protect citizens, and during the night to protect FB?
But that does not mean that a new contender cannot do well. With so many apps made for android, nothing it going to knock it out of the mobile market soon, but it is a crappy enough operation system to allow good ones room to compete against its and Apples monopoly.
So this ruling is implying that if these people were nude in public it would be illegal to take photos of them? But since they were wearing cloths, it is legal to take nude photos of them?
Well you got to remember. There is that the new generations "greats" are Justin Bieber's. But also these bands are often still playing. There are lots of 60-70 year old rockers out their still playing concerts.
I think it is simply the money angle. You make more money taking some nobody off of the street, getting him to sign over 99.5% of their income for 5 years, making them a star overnight, and then dropping them when the contract runs out and they demand more money. They do not have to be good, even the highly modified songs they put out do not have to be good, as long as the entire industry keeps the general same quality, no one will know what they are missing.
I always wondered if my relative dislike of music was a symptom of my anti-social personality. Does anyone know anything about this idea, does the original article go into other similarities these people share/the reason they are like this?
I was going to say "This ^. This is me", But you lost me at games.
I think music is fine, but sort of 1 dimensional and boring theoretically. When I have listened to it I enjoy it, but is has never formed a habit so I only do it when I make myself do it once every few years.
I do not understand why it really exists in society, but it is an incredibly important part of other media. You cannot make a game without music, for the vast majority of projects. It is so incredibly important, for that purpose.
Never going to happen. trade schools do not have fraternities and are too much like working. Apprenticeship are great, for a career, and for learning, but they are not high school 2.0, with more drinking, sex, and drugs, so they are never going to attract 99% of the college going population.
They install dozens of programs on these machines.
And each of them come with Licence Agreements.
And there is no law against someone using a bit of software without agreeing to its licence agreement. You do it every time you go to a library. And the whole tech support industry can tell you that it is legal to pay someone else to install software on your computer, and perfectly OK to never agree to anything yourself.
Which I think is a really bad idea. No one can be blamed for making bad decisions when their financial situation (owning 5 billions dollars in MS stock) biases everything they do.
Obviously these were multiple choice questions. So you cannot use the data like this. 10% do not actually think HTML is a STD, they just have no idea what HTML is.
Which I never understood. Steam supposedly takes some generous, fixed cut. But many many games on Steam have a publisher. So does Steam take 60 percent off the top, and then teh publisher takes 60% off the top, and the developer gets what left?
Even these items are a little high, and only for the first few weeks. Steam has also become very aggressive are deep discounts relatively shortly after release. Skyrim is probably one of the least effected games I have seen so far, and it had OK discounts the year is was released and gets down to 66% off.
So even AAAA games can be had for under 15 bucks a month after release, and the price or a generic steam key, from PWYW sales is only like 50 cents. Steam simply offers a wider range of games, for pretty much whatever you want to pay for them. That said, I think games across the spectrum are going down in price, and we will see even more affordable games in the coming years.
99.99999% of all child porn is either drawn, or pictures teens took themselves for their boyfriends or just for the thrill or because it was sexy but not revealing enough to not get posted on FB.
When people talk about child porn sites, they mean Japanese drawn erotica (Hentai).
And besides, unless you visit a place dedicated to child porn, paying for it or just viewing their ads, it does not stimulate child porn.

This, though I do not agree with Savory 100%.

A Vogon is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
So this is already a working, employed cop?
And he will continue to receive his government salary and do his day job? So what does he just have two jobs now? During the day to protect citizens, and during the night to protect FB?

Which brings up the question is it slander/libel when the things told about you are not specifically reputation ruining, just generally wrong.
Well it is possible they just charged him with the wrong offence, and a judge would of convicted on a personal space/assault charge.
So this ruling is implying that if these people were nude in public it would be illegal to take photos of them?

Seems like it would just be better to lease a server in Zimbabwe or something, instead of the steps they are currently taking.

No, seriously. I remember some deal on some official MS website for something around $5 year[s] ago.
Which I think is a really bad idea. No one can be blamed for making bad decisions when their financial situation (owning 5 billions dollars in MS stock) biases everything they do.
I am 99% sure they used to offer a $5 copy of Windows 8, if you owned a copy of Windows 7 or XP or something.
But I guess if not many people caught this deal, and it is gone now, it is sort of irrelevant.
Under the law you are liable to whatever they want you to be liable for, and this can be applied and enforced after the fact.

Just because it would help Valve out.
Yes games are getting cheaper, but even if it is 50 cents, they will always cost something.
