What we really need is more research into GM crops which the environmentalists hate for some reason.
It's proven to work in the past and has 30 year track record of bringing food into places where it was once not liveable.
Insightful my ass.
You should really read more about GEO (and GM foods in particular), not only Monsanto's leaflets. As of today, there's hardly any, ANY proven benefit of GM foods, except for the seed/herbicide makers and their tools in congress and FDA/EPA.
My interpretation of those statutes is that they are for tax purposes, since civil unions are not prohibited, but the tax benefitting status of marriage is, which should be reserved for a family unit capable of reproduction, as the tax benefits are intended to support a continuance of the species.
This is BS. If that's the case, why would a childless marriage receive tax benefits while a lesbian couple with kids conceived through the sperm bank would not?
And one of the big problems we in the US face is that IIRC back in the 50s or so corporations were granted person status in terms of the constitution
Try harder. The "corporate personhood" concept was introduced right after the Civil War and solidified through a string of SCOTUS rulings during the Gilded Age era (mostly based on fraudulent interpretation of Amendment #14).
This crap went on for much more than a mere half of century.
The UK is doing all they can to become the first country in the world to fully implement Mr. Orwell's nightmare-ish vision. It looks they're quite successful in this enterprise, although they should watch out for the runner-up USofA.
A cursory look at the wikipedia entry on Carbon dating clearly indicates that the method is accurate to mere 30-60k years back from present time.
No one in their own mind would even try to use Carbon dating for 150M years; for dating such large intervals scientists use isotopes with considerably longer half-life.
Who's the idiot who modded this as Flamebait? Any person with an IQ greater than 50 would figure out that that is the reason China keeps selling its goods in exchange for the green toilet paper.
Yeah, that's pretty amazing, but when I watch something like this, the following saying pops up: "To some a 3D heli is amazing, to me it's a demented insect after being sprayed"
Anyway, I doubt that SU's helis can do the tricks good pilots can (e.g. the Szabo brothers), nevermind better.
So, what's so special about this IC? Sure, it sits idle most of the time (except that they need to have a RTC to wake up every 10 minutes). That's what any digital CMOS IC would do if the clock would be cut off.
A turned-off switch in series with the system would drop the consumption to even lower levels while in sleep mode.
Somebody is desperately trying to justify grant money spent on pizza and beer...
Sorry to burst your bubble, but many if not most errors regarding they're/their, it's/its etc. are committed by people whose first language is American. I don't know really why this happens.
Foreigners tend to pay more attention to orthography as they know they're dealing with a ****-** language and have to be careful.
Speaking English is a different game altogether. I bet you didn't detect my heavy accent from the sentences I just wrote.
They give you a "Gene Explorer" that allows you to do a search in your genome to find out if you have a certain gene
I am tired of all these idiots talking about "hey, he has A.D. because he has the XYZ gene etc etc". Street simpletons use this phrasing, scientists use it (even though they know better), frigging editorialist uses it. Wrong wording!
Excepting genetic freaks, everyone has the XYZ gene, for $DEITY sake! The unfortunate subject just has a defective one, that's why he's predisposed to A.D.
Come on! This guy can't fly the damn 'copter in a straight line!
Joke aside, Mr. Szabo Jr.'s fingers are really golden. I wish I could see them working the gymbals but it seems that the bloody cameraman finds every single time the 'copter to be more interesting than the hand work. That's a shame!
Sorry, but I still think I am right and you're not.
Having experienced first hand (pun intended) both types of shocks, I can tell you that 48V DC is much more dangerous than 220V/50Hz. In fact, I think I would have died from the 48V shock (my hand latched on the exposed wire), luckily my buddy saw it and pushed me out.
As for what the muscle does, the AC shock is really pulsing at 50/60Hz, where the DC one simply sucks you in. Of course, if enough current passes through you heart, you're toast either way, but that's depending on the skin characteristics too.
DC electroshock will jam your nerves and latch the muscles in a continuously contracted state, where you can't let go. OTOH AC is making the muscles jerk, preventing the latch-on effect.
You won't survive a 110V DC shock, while a 380 AC one is mostly a nuisance (to a healthy individual, anyway).
I take this as a downside to the car, probably explaining the price. Mercedes is a car that really lives only by its past fame. If the smart is as poorly built as the recent crop of MBs, then that's a reason alone to steer away from it.
The government is inefficient, and if you don't believe that, you're in denial. Just look at all the "wars on" anything. The government throws trillions of dollars (which are stolen, for all intents and purposes) at things that people perceive as problems. Some really are, some aren't. The war on drugs creates more drug use, the war on terror creates more terrorists, the war on poverty, causes more poverty. We should declare war on some endangered species, maybe we'd have more of those as well...
The point is, there is nothing the government does that private companies or individuals couldn't do cheaper and better. Libertarians don't believe in no government (that's the anarchist's, which aren't as crazy as you may think), but they do believe in less government, an extremely limited government.
Your view is too US-centric and if you think that the system in this country is the world norm, you are in denial. Most other advanced countries have substantially better operating governments. It is amazing how fucked-up US can be when one considers the vast resources at its disposal; who knows, maybe this is because this country is already poisoned by its uniquely unfettered "laissez-faire" philosophy.
Gosh, this has been modded "informative"! Granted, the WTC debris were quickly dispensed with (that's bizarre), but you could read some more about why and how did the overpass collapse instead of talking off your arse.
And, b.t.w., "steel" is a generic word, covering materials with very different physical properties. Are you sure that the one used in WTC's structure is the same type as the one the overpass bolts were made from?
It's obvious that there's no such thing as "common sense", because for each believer in the official story there's one who thinks that the steel girder structure should have remained in place, instead of completely collapsing, conveniently cut in small sections. Oh, how about building 6?

So what positive GM examples you have in mind?

is that an early April Fools or what?
do I have the unnerving feeling that RoundUp-ready wheat is resistant to this fungus?
Can you actually provide an example or it's just that you're full of BS?

Let's say that algorithms are one category of discoveries that should be not patentable, along with laws of physics and the like.

You've got this backwards, mate!

Is this thing taking off for real or it's just a scam (i.e. tied up by a thin cable to the out-of-picture crane)?
... or eggplants or potatoes. I knew that french fries with ketchup are healthy, this study just proves me right!
