I suspect the comma comes from the natural pause that also occurs in speech after every item, and thus also right before the "and finalitem". It's another speaking habit filtering through into writing.
A comment very similar to this one has appeared on slashdot cloud articles before - almost verbatim, I'd say. Can't help but wonder if you're one of those losers who keep logs of comments they like so they can copy/paste them later.
Instead of giving you some form of moderation for your attempt at +1 Funny, I'm posting this comment, just because you're one of those annoying gits who starts their comment in the subject.
The system worked if the three relevant varieties have not been brought to market, yet, if none of the currently marketed varieties have similar conditions, and if similar and extremely thorough testing is done on any and all products.
Personally, I'm not into GM foods precisely because we still don't fully know what a given modification will do in the long term until it happens. Yes, this particular test showed up, but the effects weren't predicted, or the corn wouldn't have made it to this stage. How about effects that only manifest if the product is consumed in massive quantities over multiple years ? Will Monsanto or any other company bother to do decade-long testing of every product ?
I'm happily in the EU, where GM is still off-limits. I suspect these test results won't encourage any change in that policy.
I know I'm feeding the troll, but if you replace the steel mesh by an Obsorb (tm) (c) (whatever) filter, this might actually work for high-precision cleanups.
Being on slightly the other side of the planet, I'd like some pointers as to what plants and how that works. Are the plants themselves (or their seeds) fire resistant ?

Ahh, so that's why I'm not seeing this behaviour on Linux - I rarely ever use the clipboard, I just use the native X select and middle-button-paste.
Yep, just tried with explicit copy/paste, and then the link appears.
Alien Immunity Deficiency Syndrome ?
Please tell me you have one of them for samzenpus, too.
It is if you're standing up.
To make gold-compressed latinum, of course.

I have this terrible feeling that you weren't trying to be funny.
I suspect the revolution hasn't changed all that much in the interior country.
Well, on the plus side, the world *is* overpopulated.
Also, if you go for Scottish malts, GM is prohibited in Europe :-)
Ooo. Now there's an interesting angle for a terrorist to take. Are seeds forbidden on airplanes already ?

"seize". "full-scale". "lose".
They've managed for over 4000 years. I think they'll manage without Google for a little while longer.
Hmm. I just noticed that Boxee is a sponsor of XBMC. You think they're using the engine ? :-)

I've only seen it used on someone's old Xbox, but it looked pretty good, and thus I'm about to install it on the new storage box I'm building.
Exactly the post I was hoping to find. Thanks :-)
I dunno, there's some pretty old dirt in my basement.
True. For a slightly more mundane example, hitting a diamond in exactly the right place with a chisel will split it. Ask any diamond worker.
Hey, B.O.B. was a pretty nice guy. Just look at http://us.imdb.com/media/rm3900803840/tt0892782

Maybe it's just that there's nothing wrong with your mom ?
Dunno about you, but I used a different calendar a bit more than a week ago.
