I sure can't wait to sign up for the Sims Online. Rush out and open my own McDonald's complete with Intel Pentium 4 Cybercafe inside! ( Intel and McDonalds To Appear In Sims Online http://www.pcgameworld.com/story.php/id/531 ) The virtual dollars, the virtual dollars!!!/sarcasm
Of course some grain will potentially be lost to the ground and this is exactly why these tests should not be taking place outside of a laboratory! I wouldn't be surprised if we've already messed up yet another part of nature that we simply cannot afford to for Step 3: Profits and no one has yet to identify Step 2: ? (aside from some crazy wildcard!)
"There should be no testing of this kind unless you can get 100 percent confinement and containment. The risk is too high," said Rhona Applebaum, the group's { ed. National Food Processor's Association } senior vice president of regulatory affairs.
As this comes as any surpise?!?! Although I am all for science, any genetic engineer/scientist should know better than to be putting these things out in the wild. This could result in an aggregious mistake suffered because of poorly executed trial and error! Admittedly, I'm far from a genetic engineering expert, but is it really that wise to be essentially cutting some SEEMINGLY unimportant part of the plant's gene out [ READ: We don't understand the gene's function ] and replacing it with some other gene that we want it to use? This is complete foolishness.
What, if this were practiced in the software industry, we would have something like M$? Oops.
I just successfully installed Debian on my notebook about a week ago. For the most part, my installation experience was uneventful, but one of the first things I was surprised by is the lack of a graphical installer. ( I flashed back to installing Minix on my A500 and my first install of Slackware back in 1995!:)
SO WHAT!?! It installed fine.
Some of my minor complaints include:
Ease of install of Xwindows
X installation has always been a bitch for me irregardless of the distribution Linux or BSD. It seems that it's something that always needs tinkering. I did get this going fairly quick after some help from my BSD admin guru--thank the Gods for buddies!
Ease of install of sound
I still don't have sound working, but I haven't given it the one two punch!
Ease of install of APM support
I probably haven't looked in the right place or good documentation doesn't exist. And I'm lazy?:S
Up to date install documentation
Let's face it, I think that once most people get their configuration working they don't think about giving back to the community. Something that should definately be reconsidered.
Package Manager selection at end of install
Aggravating. I don't want to sit and select then download and install 200M of software after I get it installed, but I DO want an easy way to get back to package management once I hastily exit out if it. I want my cake and I want to eat it too.
Overall though, my Debian install was a pleasant experience.
If I didn't have ~10 years of XP working with *NIX as a user and ~20 years of XP working with computers I certainly wouldn't know where to begin. That's why I think better documentation is certainly in order.
OVERALL, Debian is everything that I would expect it to be for what I consider to be a non-commercial distribution of Linux.

Okay now everybody, remember: DUCK AND COVER!!!
