You oppose punishing people who violate copyright in the privacy of their own homes, but you support punishing people who grow a plant in the privacy of their own homes?
For the very concerns raised by this article. They should be moving the money they get from google into investment vehicles that will give them cash flow in perpetuity. Only *after* they've guaranteed their continued existence should they consider making donations.
$500,000 (including benefits) is dirt cheap for a CEO. If anything, it suggests they should consider hiring someone higher calibre.
Even ignoring the fact that Earth hasn't any resources that can't be had in abundance elsewhere, indigenous people in North America/Australia are *far* better off today than they would have been without European contact.
Lots of Linux users who *could* but don't want to dual boot just to play a game are going to be attracted to any MMOG that offers them official support. Smaller games (like EVE) have more to gain, because there's a lot larger pool of people who might sign up who haven't, where as large games like WoW have pretty much saturated the market of people who'd like to play it. Blizzard offering official support wouldn't give them many new subscribers, it would just please their existing Linux using playerbase.
You have a CD and a record exhibiting *exactly the same issue* and you come out in favour of the vinyl?
And that's beside the fact that if your CD has scratches, it wasn't well treated by definition. There's no reason anything ever has to touch the surface of a CD, and you can back CDs up.
I'd like to see you explain that. By definition, we know at least some of the genetic makeup of GM plants. How do you know there aren't "killer" genes lurking, ready to eat your brains or whatever it is you're scared of, in regular corn?
Your corn is far more likely to be mixed with something in the regular, boring, way of just physically mixing than by scary mad scientists.
I think you may have eaten some psychedelic "corn", but I doubt it was genetically modified.

The poster wanted them for their education.
I'm sure Yahoo would love to take over google's payments.
Because I've never heard of a tomato grow op being shut down.
Those are all side effects of it being illegal, not the activity itself.
Industries do not have any inherent right to exist. Is producing cars "clearly wrong" due to their effects on the buggy whip industry?

Buy an Nvidia card and the curse is over.
EVE (and anything else) would work fine with ATI drivers if they didn't suck. Cedega has done everything possible on their end, the rest is up to ATI.
Please AMD, just sack ATI's software side. Burn it down and start fresh.

And didn't speak out, for I was not a felon.
You're arguing that articles that are rarely read shouldn't be deleted?
It's actually takes rather long to get rid of obviously crap articles.

ASCII is available on all machines, therefore it is universal.
It's a choice between language and accessibility. It should be obvious to everyone of good will which has priority.
So you're only ok with genetic modification if it's not done by scientists?
"Modifying the food chain for profit" *is* "the greatest breakthrough in human history".
Where do you think corn comes from? It doesn't exist naturally.
Toshiba has some laptops that haven't any XP drivers.
Your ego's written a cheque you can't clear.

People in academia generally make citations.
I'm assuming you're referring to "googling".
Things just happen faster then they did 40 years ago.
Copyright violation is a *civil*, not criminal matter.
In fact, we know quite a bit more about what GM plants do than we do traditionally modified plants.
Why are you insisting on more testing for GM plants? Why don't you object to being in the "test group" for traditionally modified plants?
Addressed all your salient points. You've yet to make any credible charges against GM plants.
