IIRC, a few days ago, when the wal-mart mandrake boxen were being discussed, some guy claimed his dad decided he didn't want Linux on his PC. The wal-mart machine had a CD with M$ drivers for all the hardware. He said 2k went on smooth as silk.
Corn isn't the only "grass" you need to kill. There are tons of wild varieties too.
What happened here was the GM corn was grown last year. There is always some spillage, it can't be helped. The beans were planted on the same field the corn was on last year and the corn from last year sprouted among the beans. This happens ALL the time.
Corn seed doesn't jump the road. Pollen can.
What is needed with GM crops is a "kill" gene. All grain and pollen produced should be sterile. The seed and pollen for the seed should be raised in greenhouses, as mentioned above.
I grew up farming corn and beans. Soybeans are a broadleaf plant. Corn is a grass. Grass killer sprayed on soybeans will kill the corn plants that come up.
Also, corn grows about four feet taller than soybeans. Picking out the corn should be no problem.
Really though, GM stuff should be grown in totally separate fields and the fields kept separate.

Even better: get about 20 of them, cover in lighter fluid and toast `em. Put a video of the barbeque on the net.
Damn, not even the wife? Shit.
If you are "Grandpa", fiber has a different meaning.
Monopoly? No.
EEEE-VIL! Yes.
Sony makes good products, but their attitude stinks.
Put away your duct tape.
Why was that movie on Sci-Fi?
Because it was cheap? Hell, it was on the "Food Network" last week.
I can't get enough of that one guy getting shot in the left cheek with an arrow...
Dude, VCRs are like, $12 now.
...naw, can't do it.
I thought the one where Crighton "wormholed" to earth was the season (series?) finale.
Oh shit, I guess that was a spoiler!
During "Taken", SciFi was running "SciFi 2003" commercials that included Farscape.
Hmmm...
Try Kazaa. I have a lot of epps and am working on the rest.
I have most of the "Roughnecks" CG series too.
The net has made a ton of stuff easy to get. I just wish someone would put up "Sledgehammer".
For that, we are back to using a CD...
You forgot:
3. Profit!
Those little USB/Flash keychain thingies should eventually replace floppies.

The difference, of course, is that you can fit an Xbox in your front room alongside the TV and VCR.
Why do friggin' black desktop cases cost 2-3x what a beige one costs? Black CD and DVD drives cost more too.
Yeah I know, black spray paint. Easier said than done. A case isn't a patio chair.
I want to build a mini-ITX box in an old VCR case, but I keep hearing how bad the perfomance of the CPUs on the mini-ITX motherboards are.
I wish VIA or someone would bring out a mini-ITX motherboard with a TV tuner, DVD decoder and mpeg/Divx encoder/decoder on the board, for ~$150.
Shouldn't that be "E - Vil"?
But would you rather be a jellyfish, or a human being?
Human. Those poisonous sea anemones are a bitch. And rocks suck as pillows.
I prefer "Stan". Of course, chickens are dislexx..dyslax...can't read right.
Duh. Of course the Easter Bunny has hairy palms. He's a friggin' RABBIT!

You don't watch Cartoon Network, do you?
We move debris into useful shapes on Earth, too.
It is 2002 you know. In all the movies set in the 21st century they use "sonic shapers" for construction.
Drug dealers don't count.
