The food was modified by the owner (corporation) to produce the pesticide internally. Which kills the bugs, harms the bees, and gets ingested into your body where it causes intestinal bleeding (for young or old individuals).
Yummy.;-)
Oh and family farmers that refuse to use this GMO food, and prefer to use natural seeds that are not impregnated with pesticide, are routinely accused of copyright or patent infringement by Monsanto and drug into court (where the lawyer fees bankrupt them).
>>>Current gas taxes do not come anywhere close to covering road costs.
Yes actually they do. The gas taxes collected exceed the amount of money spent by the U.S. DOT for road maintenance. And in my state there's so much excess gas tax collected, they transfer it to the Baltimore train lines. (A few years ago I sat in a legislative session and witnessed them transfer money from the gas tax to build a whole new rail line!)
So NO I am not being subsidized as a driver. It is the opposite. I am paying MORE than what is spent on road maintenance, and it is being used to subsidize other projects by the U.S. and Maryland.
(1) You shouldn't have been modded troll. We can disagree with one another w/o the name calling.
(2) Most record labels are seeking their OWN wealth, not to compensate the artist. I think this was more than proved when record labels stole over 1 billion dollars worth of songs from Canadian artists (for use on greatest hits compilation CDs) and never paid those artists for use of their material.
Record labels are in it to enrich themselves, and screw the singer or writer or musician. As is true with most corporations & their employees.
According to the DMCA if someone takes-down your video, all you have to do is tell youtube, vimeo, etc that you DO in fact own the video and it should not have been taken down. The video then HAS to be restored per the Congressional Act (otherwise you could sue youtube, vimeo, etc).
Who the heck is Tanya Steele, and how could she be so dumb as to claim that she owns the copyright over a film maker's video???
ALSO: Didn't Megaupload win a False claim of copyright infrigement against a music company back in December? That would be a major win in our favor.
(Unfortunately the music company then called their friends in the Obamahouse, and they executed a worldwide raid in January, and shutdown the foreign site. Winning a court case is bad form in the U.S. of Corporation.)
I don't understand what this "youtube has not caught up" phrase means? Did they pull they pull the artists video & refuse to put it back? Well it IS google after all. They do evil.
>>>where you want to go once this planet became uninhabitable
And global warmers wonder why we laugh at them. The planet will not become uninhabitable, but will merely revert to a state that existed before the current ice age. (No ice on the poles; tropical jungle as far north as the Great Lakes.) In fact the planet will be MORE pleasant to live upon, as the flora and fauna will florish in the warm snowfree climate.
Jeez. At least make SOME attempt to educate yourself, while espousing your global warming theories.
>>>- it's snowing harder because of global warming.
Always trying to have it both ways. When it snows hard (record snowfalls last winter) they claim it's because of global warming. And when it barely snows (this winter) they claim it's because of global warming.
This is not a falsifiable theory. This is not science. That is dogma where whatever happens, it is claimed as proof of god... er, I mean warming. It's religion.
>>> Add a $5/gal tax to gasoline and use the money to develop public transporation and bicycling infrastructure.
Baloney. I am NOT going to be a wage slave so a bunch of train riders can get free tickets off of my back. I work for MYSELF not to give them free trains, free bikes, and ofther free shit. If they are dirt-poor, then fine, I will help them with welfare and food stamps but NOT so a bunch of workers can get free train tickets. LET THEM PAY out of their own wages.
Besides: A train or bus is no cleaner than the typical 25 mpg car with one driver. They use fossil fuels too. And they are significantly less-clean than my 70mpg Honda Insight (which is rated as the second cleanest car in the world; right after the Civic CNG).
You call yourself a "conservative" and then turn-around and propose income redistribution from car drivers to bus/train riders. You are no conservative. That is basically a sin tax..... like we do when we tax $5 per carton of cigarettes. Trying to impose your backward-religious morals upon others.
By the year 2005, young children won't even know what snow is. (It's funny how all these dire warnings from the UN and other nation-level climate bureaus never seem to come true. - ed.) BTW the rate-of-rise of sealevel on these island nations is only two-thousandths of an inch per year. Hardly a great tragedy.
>>>Apple apologists. Of which a huge herd appears to have swooped upon Slashdot
There was a time when Apple was good. After the Atari/Commodore era had ended (70s/80s/early 90s), the Macs were running on the PowerPCs. They were good quality hardware with a decent OS (though not capable of preemptive multitasking until 2002).
Switching to generic Intel PCs through Foxconn was a mistake. IMHO.
>>>Every computer, laptop, and Smartphone you own was either manufactured by Foxconn
No actually my Commodore was manufactured in the USA.
Oh you mean CURRENT products..... well yes that's probably true. My windows computer is 10 years old but probably does have some Foxconn parts inside it. HOWEVER apple is supposed to be better than the other manufacturers. They are supposed to be the "good" alternative for us hipsters.
And they really aren't. Their OS is better but not their hardware.
I've come across a number of websites that don't work with Opera Browser unless I change the setting to "mask as firefox". Then the site works. The problem wasn't Opera; the problem was the website not recognizing the browser, and therefore sending some old broken page.
You asked for examples. Yahoomail is one. Facebook is another. Had to change the Agent-ID to "mask as firefox" to get them to work.
Excuse me troll, but as an Apple user, I find your disturbing use of the word 'better' to be highly offensive and inflammatory.
How can you state with a straight face that another company can make a product that does something better than the gold standard Apple equivalent?
People like you should be locked up and throw away the key. Or maybe rendition to an Apple Store you so you can be re-educated to prove the error of your evil ways.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes better products than Apple! If you think otherwise, you are just as bad as the racists and holocaust-deniers of the world, and are therefore scum. iScum!
Sounds like an improvement to me. Books are better companions than most people (jibber-jabbering about celebs or football or other nonsense). Especially those books written by the best minds of our species.
And I object to the other guy who said Baby Boomers watched insane cartoons. Tom & Jerry. Rocky & Bullwinkle. Mighty Mouse. Flintstones. The Jetsons. They made perfect sense storywise.
A reviewer on amazon claimed the onscreen ads "pay for the kindle". For example he got two $10 gift cards, and if that keeps happening, then the kindle's initial purchase price will be wiped-out. Would You say that's an accurate assessment? (Or are most of the kindle ads worthless like tv and web ads?)
Microsoft's Exploder 8 infuriates me with how it FREEZES for like 30 seconds, until it finishes downloading all the ads and Flashcrap. What on earth is it doing??? I prefer Opera's instant draw feature better (it draws whatever it has, even incomplete pages).
Yes. The Kindle is designed to consume entertainment. Originally it was black-and-white books (since 2007). The fire expands it to movies and TV shows. It is not and never was intended to be a general purpose handheld computer.
If you really want 3G, you can get it in the kindle, but only the black-and-white versions. Eventually they'll probably release a Kindle Fire 3G but not yet. It's still a young product.

Late 90s. And it didn't roll up. The screen was solid. EFC was a good show in season 1, and then they dumbed it down and it was boring.

Kindle question:
A reviewer on amazon claimed the onscreen ads "pay for the kindle". For example he got two $10 gift cards, and if that keeps happening, then the kindle's initial purchase price will be wiped-out. Would You say that's an accurate assessment? (Or are most of the kindle ads worthless like tv and web ads?)
I wouldn't want to read a newspaper on an iPad. I can of course if I have to, but an e-ink display is better (looks like a real newspaper).
Everyday? More like once-and-done. Then they newspaper editor would just have to send updates via 3G, like the kindle does with books.
Use the non-google Chromium instead. I downloaded the EXE and installed it in windows. Very nice and lightweight.
And to the guy asking about tracking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#Usage_tracking
IF Firefox version == 1 to 3, then send file 1
IF Firefox version == 4 to 10, then send file 2
IF Firefox version == 11 to 17, then send file 3
(Note: 10 and 17 are the extended support releases. Everything in-between is just minor changes.)
Microsoft's Exploder 8 infuriates me with how it FREEZES for like 30 seconds, until it finishes downloading all the ads and Flashcrap. What on earth is it doing??? I prefer Opera's instant draw feature better (it draws whatever it has, even incomplete pages).
>>>Am I missing something here?
Yes. The Kindle is designed to consume entertainment. Originally it was black-and-white books (since 2007). The fire expands it to movies and TV shows. It is not and never was intended to be a general purpose handheld computer.
