  1. Re:What can we DO? on Monsanto Takes Home $23m From Small Farmers According To Report · · Score: 1

    Except for the fact that the farmers being sued in the article, didn't plant Monsanto seed. They are being sued due to having their plants pollinated by plants that were not in their control. What is to say that Monsanto doesn't next go after the home owners who plant food in their own gardens for the same thing?

  2. Re:Sorry but it does not meet the criteria on Is Sugar Toxic? · · Score: 1

    He actually goes into the fact that Glucose is necessary. Sucrose is one part glucose one part fructose. He argues that historically humans only came into contact with fructose through fruits which naturally contain enough fiber to counteract the affect of the fructose found in the fruit. Now that we refine sucrose and high fructose corn syrup and add it to almost all of our food, and have cut back on our fiber intake due to the way we process our food, we are ingesting more than our bodies can deal with. Thus causing many metabolic problems, Obesity, Diabetes, and Hypertension. In many ways it is a drug as it has various detrimental affects on the human body.

  9. Re:The end is nigh? on Level of IPv6 Usage Is Vanishingly Small · · Score: 1

    Yeah I really think that the Naming policy of IPV6 is the biggest factor behind the poor adoption rate.

    I know how IP addresses work right now. They should have just put another .255 on it and used that, rather than rewriting the whole wheel.

    Yet here in Alaska, where we are swimming in oil, we have some of the highest gas prices in the nation.
