  1. Re:Trade Off on Biotech and the Environment · · Score: 1

    I think there would be a simple way to stop a lot of the complaining. That would be to simply disclose which foods are modified and which are not. I think people's suspicions are increased because the makers of modified food fight to prevent buyers from knowing which is which. If people felt sure they had a choice, to buy either modified or unmodified food, they would have little complaint.

  2. What's art. on Are Computer Graphics A Fine Art? · · Score: 1

    Art causes us to see some familiar object in a new and interesting way. Van Gogh's sunflowers aren't just a picture of flowers, they provide a sort of commentary on beauty. If your digital art is creative, that is if it "speaks" to people I think it will be accepted as art. If you just use it as a different medium to express old ideas then no one will care much.

  3. First OS on What Was The First Computer Operating System? · · Score: 1

    I don't think a monitor or loader program qualifies as an operating system. I don't know that it was the first, but IBM had a system called TSX ( for Time Share Executive) in the 60's that ran on the IBM 1800. It ran 24/7 and did process control as a foreground task, while doing batch jobs in the background.
