Phishing, as we all know (at least those of us who frequent sites like/.) is a scam - and we also know that we should be responsible for our own action, however stupid it might turn out to be
But there are people who will never want to be responsible for any of their own action, and they will tell you that it's all the fault of that "1%" --- including those "banksters", and those "judge"
Depends on what the 'waste' the bacteria is spitting out, I'd think. It'd suck if the bacteria took in pesticide and spit out, say, cyanide or nerve gas...
It could happen that way, but then, it could be the opposite
When living things digest a substance, it break-down that substance to more basic elements - and basic elements are in general less toxic than the longer-chained chemicals
His point is obviously that Monsanto expects us to hand over our lunch money for coaxing the bacteria into doing so.
That guy couldn't think out of his self-made box
Just because Monsanto may have cornered the genetic modified food industry does not mean that the same company gonna corner the bacteria industry
Furthermore, the bacteria that can digest toxic chemicals (like pesticide) are not just a single type of bacterium - Even if Monsanto can come up with one type of bacterium (Bacterium Z) that can break down toxic chemicals A, B, C, D, E, does not mean others are being prevented to come up with bacterium Y that can break down toxic chemicals B, H, K, O, P, S, W
If bacteria start to digest the stuff left behind, then is it really toxic when it's become food for something?
There are substances that are toxic for one species but not for another
There are species that live near underwater volcanoes, for example, and they actually consume the sulphur based chemical soup as food that many other species find toxic
That's the whole point: There aren't any free frequencies left. White Space technology is an attempt to squeeze the last drop.
I can't predict the future, but what if...
What if 10 years from now someone actually invent the technology that can transfer matter from one location to the next, remotely - just like "Star Trek" - but they need radio frequency to accomplish that task
With "free" frequency all exhausted, that new invention can be put to use, can it?
I think you may need a visit to your local psychiatrist
No one is talking about introducing alien species of bacteria culture into pristine environment
We are talking about cleaning up dangerous and toxic chemicals - ie, brown fields which have been polluted by those toxics - no matter it is in Australia or in Timbuktu, polluted brown fields are polluted brown fields, and the pollution won't go away simply because of your unfounded phobia
If the bacteria can gobble up those toxic substances and reduce them to basic elements that are non-toxic, why the hell not use what the nature is providing us - hey, those bacteria are NOT man-made, you know? - to help clean up the mess we have done to the only planet that we live on?
The discovery that the bacteria inside insects' guts finds human-made (often very toxic) insecticide "tasty" can actually be a good news for all of us ---
We can tap the ability of those bacteria to "digest" away many of the toxic waste produced by industries
And allow the said industries to produce other flavors of toxic waste, only cheaper?
Whether you like it or not, the industrial complex has been producing, - and is producing - millions and millions of tons of toxic waste every single year. toxic wastes that are very difficult - and very un-economical to un-toxic-fy
If there are bacteria which can "digest" those toxic waste and break-down the chemicals in such that the resultant by-products lose their toxicity - we should tap into the abilities of those bacteria to clean up the environment
Just as an example... Store X sells a product for Y bitcoins and can then sell those bitcoins for Z amount of your local currency it becomes a quite valuable way to do transactions...
No cost for making a payment.. compare that to Mastercars/Visa etc where they take a 2% cost..
I urge you to re-consider the bolded part of the quote above
How do you "sell" the bitcoins that you have?
When you say there's "no transaction cost", it's not true.
Someone does need to pay for the servers which keep tract of the bitcoins all around the world - and those cost, no matter how minimal, will need to be accounted for

I am sure Google is employing many many very able programmers, but if Google has to pay bounty to hackers up to $20,000 to find bugs, does that mean the programmers who are sitting in Google's offices around the world have phailed?

Your assertion :
Trimble actually seems to be the perfect fit for Sketchup
does sound kinda suspicious, that most of us do not know nothing about "Trimble"
There are so many yet-to-be-answered questions:
Who are they?
How were they being financed?
Which direction are they going to move Sketchup - forward, backward, 64-bits, opencl compatibility, a Linux native version ....
Will they be acquired by AutoDesk?
WHAT ???
Leave your absentee landlord out of it.
How you know *HE* is an absentee landlord?
You have seen *HIM* before ???? :/

bioremediation is a very exciting field
I was looking for that word - "bioremediation" - but my brain simply refused to work
Thank you for your help :)

With frequencies being grabbed left, right and center, for whatever reason, I wonder how much frequencies are left out there for future use?

I am quoting tfa from arstechnica:
the hacker Hardcore Charlie told Reuters earlier this month that he hacked into CEIEC seeking information on the US military campaign in Afghanistan
Apparently that hacker hacked into CEIEC - a Chinese military contractor, - looking for information on US military campaign in Afghanistan
It's like hacking into the system owned by Palestinians looking for information regarding Israelis military campaign
Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

disrupt life in Mexico City with ash clouds
The air quality of Mexico City is very dirty, so dirty that birds actually die while they were flying and fall down from the sky
And I read somewhere that an American diplomat once commented that the dust you see in Mexico City is mostly made up of dried manure
In light of this, a little bit volcano ash won't do much harm to Mexico City
What if Microsoft decides to compile their new Windows 8 into a SoC ?
You forgot to line the pockets of the right people in an effort to make a quick buck
... and that of using the money of citizens from country A to train citizens from country B to compete with against the citizens from country A
And it was all one giant mistake
I think it's more like snafu than mistake
