  1. Bad mod.

  2. I would change the first part of the signature to "for all intents and purposes".

  3. Re:the inevitable on Genetically Engineered Yeast Makes It Possible To Brew Morphine · · Score: 1

    As far as I know (from my home-brewing), starches are not fermentable (that's why you mash the grain prior to pitching the yeast, to convert the starches into fermentable sugars). The yeast in bread makes the bread rise by using the fermentable sugars in the dough, and as a by-product CO2 is released, which makes the bread rise. Some alcohol may/amy not be also be realeased (I never looked into the bread process), as based on what I know, the yeast starts producing alcohol as a biproduct only when it runs out of oxigen (until then it keeps multiplying). So, going back to your statement, starches are not processed by the yeast in any way. Sugars are processed into some other stuff and also CO2, that's what happens when the bread is rising.

  4. Re:Decimating small companies on Apple, A123 To Settle Lawsuit Over Poached Battery Engineers · · Score: 1

    From my point of view, it's not that the comments here are pro-Apple, the majority are pro-employees. The way I look at it, if your company's future is dependent on these employess, you are definitely underpaying them if Apple (or any other big company) can poach them away. If your company is going bust without these people, maybe you can offer them ownership in the company, so if you make it big everyone wins. But, like most said here, most companies would rather sue, and treat their employees like a resource that can be abused, rather than compensate them fairly.

  5. Re:Those stupid Canadians! on Canada Tops List of Most Science-Literate Countries · · Score: 2

    Calice d'ostie de saint ciboire que les anglos ont la tête dur!

    Devrait être "dure"...

  6. Re:Is it bribery? on Did Internet Sales Tax Backers Bribe Congress? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Not trying to be snarky, I am just wondering why "the right to petition the government" translates into giving money? (I am not form US). If giving the money to politicians was removed from the equation, would the right to petition the govt. not remain in place as long as there was an avenue to call/write etc. your concerns?
