They pretty much always do that. Most cases are declined from the Supreme Court unless actual harm is shown.
It's a pain, we've faced even in Pennsylvania where towns have passed illegal laws, but not enforced them. So we are unable to get the courts to strike them down. They just dismiss cases due to lack of harm.
GO, it's not only one of the oldest board games known to man. It's the future of warfare...
*** That is right folks, the future is to hack entire armies and airforces and turn them on your opponent. Who will then hack the same units and cause them to turn back against you.
Watch as units across the World Board suddenly flip sides.
Seriously, if these seeds are released commercially. It'll be time that we'll need all those AR15s...and several tanks of gasoline.
It has already been shown that GMO crops interbreed with wild/natural crops.
Having a terminator corn that winds up interbreeding could wipe out ALL corn.
This is such a preposterous and dangerous action. That the mere taking of it is justification for The People to literally wage war on a physical level with Mosanto.
Sorry, potentially risking the starvation of humanity is BAD SCIENCE. And threatening the lives of billions is justification for the use of physical force.
So much depends on the questions, how they are phrased, what topics. A selection of typical politically charged questions infused with specific wording and phrasing can easily make for a desired outcome.
Oh, let's ask questions about fear on a political spectrum.
"Do you trust the government?"
"Are you concerned the government is over-stepping it's bounds?"
"Do you fear the U.S. government becoming a tyrannical state."
"Do you fear politicians taking away your rights?"
Wow...conservatives answered yes, liberals no. Clearly, conservatives are fearful.
STOP
"Do you fear being stopped by a police officer?"
"Do you fear politicians taking away your freedom of choice?"
"Do you fear the influence of religion in politics."
Wait, the liberals answer yes, and conservatives answered no. Clearly the liberals are full of fear.
Seriously, without a clear insight into their questions. And the specific wording. It is hard to give this study much more credence than a piece of toast with butter on it.
If patents are to encourage innovation, they are utter fail. If they are to encourage litigation, they are a perfect success.
Seriously, little fish get burned both ways. Little fish can never stop big companies. Even if they win, they never win as much as the big companies make off of the violation.
Big companies can stop little fish if its at all similar. And Big companies will often obscond with ideas that are ridiculous or long invented, and sue a little company (or even a rival Big company).
Apple's lawsuit is probably the most recent perfect example. Not a single invention, sues rival, when every single aspect existed prior.
"She says that their records indicate the car's battery pack was completely drained."
What records. All that means is that the call they received for a tow, had a stated reason as "battery drained"
A towing company has no means to test or confirm such. Second, when my wife needed a jump in our 1st generation Prius. She had to argue for 20 minutes that the battery was in the trunk. They couldn't find it. And refused to listen to her. Called a second tow truck operator. Who still was clueless. After 30 minutes of arguing, they listened to my wife. Lo and behold they found the batter in the trunk.
Furthermore, the Tesla Model S is like a 100x beyond my 1st generation Prius. So claiming a tow truck handler had ANY knowledge or understanding other than what the driver told them "battery pack completely dead". Is just BUNK!!!
"(Broder's own report said that the car couldn't be moved because its electric parking brake was stuck in place.)"
I've seen flatbeds tow cards with parking breaks on. They hook the winch and the whole car bounces up and down off the ground as it's dragged. Done every day, hundreds of times.
"12V battery that powers the accessories and gets its juice from the high voltage battery shut down when Broder pulled into the service station."
And why would that battery drain? Just wondering if Mr. Broder is influenced by Tom Beaudette and Motel 6 "We'll leave the lights on for ya!"
Great job on Elon Musk's part. I know people were asking for where the evidence is. At this point, I think the NY Times smartest move would be canning the reporter. And publishing an article on the amazing ability of new technology to track and report you movements, and how this could play into future law enforcement.;-)
@sFurbo [Sorry, I'd reply directly but the new Slashdot update does not work with IE9, and I have no alternative at the moment.]
Sorry the above twit has pissed me off by repeating the exact same thing. Why did the farmers use glyphosate on their fields?
The same reason they've been using RoundUp since the 1970s. When GMO grains really first came on the scene in the mid/late-90's. So 25 years of farmers using RoundUp before GMOs.
And a &*@#$% shrill like you keeps asking "Why did they spray glyphosate on their fields?" I'll answer you when you tell me why farmers used the stuff on their fields 25 years prior to GMO products?
*******
Glyphosate (Roundup) introduced in the 1970s
"Called by experts in herbicides "virtually ideal" due to its broad spectrum and low toxicity compared with other herbicides,[4] glyphosate was quickly adopted by farmers. Use increased even more when Monsanto introduced glyphosate-resistant crops, enabling farmers to kill weeds without killing their crops."
Wait, why would farmers use Roundup before GMO roundup-resistant crops even existed? Unless you're a lying shrill for Mosanto.
The truth is, Roundup was used. Not at as high of levels. But guess what....ever heard of genetics/evolution/survival of the fittest?
Even before the advent of GMO corn. Farmers were essentially breeding their corn to be more resistant to glyphosate. So the idea to save each year that lot which showed itself to be most resistant is not an indicator of deliberate use of Mosanto seed.
It's sort of like me saving the seeds of those garden plants that survived drought conditions. As they're more drought hardy. Gee, farmers have been doing this since oh....give or take a few thousand years.
"[Round-up Ready GMO] crops allow farmers to use glyphosate as a post-emergence herbicide against both broadleaf and cereal weeds, but the development of similar resistance in some weed species is emerging as a costly problem."
So there you have it, Mosanto wants you to believe that only the weeds are building resistance to Round-up. And that a farmer is insidious if they're trying to save their corn seed which shows the best glyphosate resistance.
Really, so weeds can naturally build resistance but a farmer should not expect his corn to do likewise?
If Mosanto's shrills can't understand basic natural selection. Mosanto should revoke their paychecks.
***
So lets go beyond corn?
85% of wild canola tested by a study was infected by GMO genes. Note, that this wasn't just self-propagation, but cross pollination. As GMO genes by two competing companies were discovered in a single plant specimen. And there is NO WAY that is possible outside of pollination infection.
How about sugar beets, organic beet farmers found their beets were infected by GMO. Harmed their business since they're organic and no way WANTED such. And sued, and yes a stay on GMO was enacted.
I seem some dumb crap being said here. Sadly, Slashdot updated their site and I can't reply to posts because of IE compatibility issues. (And yes, I don't have a choice but IE.)
***
Farmers did not steal Mosanto's corn. Their fields were infected. Mosanto's defense was that there was too much GMO to have just been from infection. However, we've seen plenty of evidence that supposition was wrong. Canada and Europe which have outlawed GMO grain are still fighting to eradicate it. (And will likely loose.)
But the dumbest one i hear is that the use of glysophate is proof of theft.
GMO corn is glysophate resistant. That means it has greater resistance than typical corn. But Roundup existed and was used LONGGGGGG before GMO products were on the market.
It's just now, you can spray a lot more without risk to your crop.
Really, to the physician, I'd say that the nurse's statement is far more accurate than yours.
My wife is a nurse, and not a bitter one. But is constantly frustrated by doctors who won't do their jobs, won't respond, won't engage proper treatment.
And then when something goes wrong, exclaims "Why wasn't this patient given x y z treatment."
To which all the nurses reply among themselves, because we asked you three times and you kept refusing.
Doctors, are saved hundreds of malpractice suits by the nurses that labor and get little credit.
Doctors are human, and need to remember that...
***
And no, this doesn't apply to all doctors, but yes, I'd say 20%-30% it applies to. And I can attest that from my own experiences.
NY Times has a flawless ride, everything goes well, the result? An article like all the rest...nothing noticeable. It's not like the Tesla S is unknown anymore.

I think part of his concern, is that RonPaul.com is continuuing to be active politically, and not always with Ron Paul's views in mind.
Thus there is concern about it being used to use Ron Paul's name to convey messages he doesn't agree with.
And I think that's a fairly legitimate claim.

Habitable Planet = Habitable Type Planet (mass/atmosphere/shields) + Habitable Zone (temperature/energy input).
