    Unlikely, bees are not needed for corn pollination. But the GM soybeans do have flowers. I remember bees on those while working in the fields.

    It was tested for two years http://cera-gmc.org/index.php?action=gm_crop_database&mode=ShowProd&data=MIR162. Considering most drugs take decades if they even make it to market.

  7. Re:Predictions on Healthcare IT's Achilles' Heel: Sensors · · Score: 1

    My wife's insurance now requires her to do a drug, tobacco, alcohol (you would be surprised how many have a trace in the morning) , body mass, and health assessment to keep he insurance. Then rates are adjusted accordingly. Worse she works for a large hospital and they are starting to test patients for those same things to get "advanced" treatments. And the people on state insurance are getting told no for a lot of treatments that are too costly, Remicade ain't cheap.

  8. Needs Improvement on Healthcare IT's Achilles' Heel: Sensors · · Score: 1

    A coworker had to wear an activity bracelet for a few days for a health assessment. He put it on his ankle and tapped his foot or bounced his ankle most of the time. The results showed his 5 foot 11 inch (1.8m) and 285 (129kg) Eric Cartman frame was walking/running +7 miles (11km) per day.

  9. Re:Lie-fest from the NSA on CBS 60 Minutes: NSA Speaks Out On Snowden, Spying · · Score: 1

    CBS went down the toilet a long time ago. They just didn't have the internet to disprove their crap. Rathergate was their first lesson but they seem too arrogant to learn.

    You nailed it, I would still hear some form of nagging. If a man is without his wife and makes no noise is he still wrong?

  20. Barney Fife 2.0 on TSA Union Calls For Armed Guards At Every Checkpoint · · Score: 2

    I can't wait to see all the negligent discharges that will occur. Unfortunately the fat, child molesting, unqualified meter maids will take out a small child. None of them are LEO qualified much less allowed to look weapons and touch people.

  21. Re:hire me on The Cybersecurity Industry Is Hiring, But Young People Aren't Interested · · Score: 1

    I have worked with DOD contacts and the f'd part is BigMoneyContractor will charge the government $55/hr per employee and the employee may see around $18-24. Add on the extra third for taxes and bene's and it still leaves a lot of profit margin.

  22. Re:Illegal, Not Undocumented. on What Employee Lock-In Means At Facebook · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Calling illegal immigrants undocumented workers is like a drug lord an undocumented pharmacist.

    How come when classified information is leaked under a republicrat president it is glorified but if classified (embarrassing) information is leaked under a "liberal" president they get the jumper cables out?

  25. Re:Applets only on Will New Red-Text Warnings Kill Casual Use of Java? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It would be a welcome gift. I admin for a bunch engineers and a lot of the corporate and gov sites they access still use Java. And even worse some are so crappy they are version specific which makes no sense other than they are lazy.
