High fructose corn syrup (HFCS)...HFCS 55 (most commonly used in soft drinks) which is approximately 55% fructose and 45% glucose; and HFCS 42 (most commonly used in sports drinks) which is approximately 42% fructose and 58% glucose.
> group Mast Sanity said the results were skewed as 12 people in the trials dropped out because of illness
Presumably the reasearchers know what fraction of these got exposure, and what fraction did not, although with only 12, a 10/2 ratio wouldn't really be that significant.
Meh, teleport back to the late '80's, then use your paper route money to buy a Zaxxon cartridge for Coleco for $50, or a Pole Position cartridge, with steering wheel and pedal, for $70, then get back to me.
Adjusting for inflation, it's like $200.
Adjusting for my buying power as a kid, it's like $34 million.
After spraying a few more acres and discovering that more than half of the sprayed crop survived
Hmmm. Quite a risky experiment, spraying a few acres of crop, ya know, just to see if it survives Roundup.
Of course, conveniently, the non-Roundup plants die. Well, golly gee wiz. That just leaves Roundup plants, and their seeds.
Whatever shall we do with them? I know, save it for next year. Then we can use them and spray Roundup, or something similar that's cheaper, and take advantage of it.
Oh, wait, here comes the Monsanto testers. Cheeze it! Don't spray the Roundup! Hide it and feign innocence.
Yeah, whatever. This story gets better and better.

If you hook up a pencil lead to a transformer, such as that for toy trains, then turn up the power, it will glow red hot. You can then bend it and let it cool down, and poof! You have a bent pencil lead.
Heat it too much and it has a chemical changeover and stops being conductive.
Meh, I should have published a paper 30 years ago.
What part of "no one is claiming accidental contamination" don't you understand?
No, in fact, you [i]do not get to use patented things[/i] without the patenter's permission.
If the farmers were trying to do this, then they are in the wrong. Go use "the good old seeds" to your heart's content. But no, you do not get to keep last year's seed if it's someone's patented life form, if your contract that you freely signed forbids it. It's not a case of "blowing contamination".
As for the blowing issue, then yes, legitimate contamination should be at the financial cost of the other farmer and/or patent-owning company to pay for removal from adjacent farms. But that would not mean necessarily adjacent farms could then breed up stocks of this stuff that accidentally blew there. And certainly some farmers have been caught lying about this.
Of all the features of Western, free civilization for the West to convince China to adopt next, isn't cracking down on piracy fairly low on the list compared to, oh, not going to jail or being executed for political views?
I'm thinkin' maybe a giant space station gathering solar power, then beaming it down with focused microwaves to special reception stations safely away from the population such that they won't get incinerated.
The space station will be manned by one guy assisted by some remote-control robots and computers from the ground. The robots will be able to do things like move things around and maybe pick up a blow torch for cutting or burning, or a hammer or something for pounding, for example, as controlled by people on the ground.
There should be radar on the station to detect incoming asteroids so they can swing the microwave magnetron around to disintegrate it, or maybe some lasers if that won't work. But the station should be able to incinerate any incoming high speed object just for safety.
Kirk beat Spock at 3D chess once because Kirk did something (deliberately) irrational. Now, as good a strategist as Kirk is, I doubt he'd be able to out-distance Spock's brainpower to take advantage of the horizon effect. This in turn implies Spock knew that the irrational move was a possibility, but he discounted it as a likely goal of Kirk's, assuming, incorrectly, that Kirk didn't realize the potential benefits of the move himself.
I wonder if any Trek nuts have attempted to cobble together actual 3D chess rules for that prop from the show. Or that other Vulcan mind game that "is to chess what chess is to tic-tac-toe."
But, thanks to the table associated with this article, we know that Go also "is to chess what chess is to tic-tac-toe". Worse, even, as Go is 10^^56 bigger than chess, which is only 10^^46 bigger than tic-tac-toe.
Why would this issue be different from any other? We are geeks, a necessary part of our enjoyment of life is splitting microscopic hairs.
Normally, only a handful of soulless geeks support evil oppression when working for a corporation that does paid work providing tools to the Chinese government to track and capture and jail dissidents.
But that's over there. This is over here. This is different.

I am thoroughly disgusted by buffoons who want to change one word slightly and reintpret the Constitution as having no validity.
"No, you aren't deprived of it. You just can't ever have it back ever again if we don't want to give it back, and you have no legal way to even try."
Would they agree with this?
"No, you aren't being deprived of life. You are just having your heart stopped and your cells are allowed to die from lack of oxygen."
To which the incompent, deserving-of-death idiots will reply, "Ahhh, but they could always give you back your stuff. They couldn't give you back your life!"
Yes, idiots. But they can always give you back your stuff even if they deprive you of it fully and Constitutionally. You've got it all bass-ackwards.
And does it even "feel" like upholding the spirit of the Constitution? What's that?

They already know people who live closer have been whining for decades.
Is the whining real, though? Or is it the placebo effect. That's what this test was about -- and it appears it's just the placebo effect.

All very profitable for lawyers, but also not true.

> Secondly, he's freaking Canadian, and doesn't receive the kinds of subsidies you think he does.
That's true, US. Canada actually complains about certain farmer supports the US does, and certain import duties. As does Australia. And New Zealand.
But the Great People's State of United States loves to protect its farmers, baby. Just like Europe.
The US and farm subsidies. It's like pay. Anyone paid less than you is lazy. Anyone paid more than you is an undeserving thief.
Sounds like a political problem. Complain about them, not the company.
Trivially, one should pay (2 + x)% taxes, where x is the fraction that is GM. What's so hard about it?
Better yet, why have a differential tax on it at all?

Does the US still have idiotic laws preventing the connection from the pole to home being fiber optic or true broadband or whatever?

Imported medical cures. From where?

No, it can't be just a ruse. They actually have to intend that you might, in theory, get it back someday.
