Frankly, I really like WU. I run XP, and I've set it up so that I decide what to download, and it goes and downloads it in the background. I especially like the fact that it resumes downloads. I still have a 56k connection, that runs that fast only when i'm lucky, so it just sits there and downloads when I'm online, sure it slows down my connection, but I'm willing to put up with that for some added "security".
Really, I wasn't doing a search on patent 5965809, it was the exercising a cat one, honest!

Strugling to remember 100-Level biochem here, but:
FYI. Ethanol is broken down into ethanal by alcohol dehyrdogenase (an enzyme), if ethanol is there, competitively inibits the methanol, so you get ethanal or ethanoic acid or something. (Can't find it in my notes, can't be bothered searching). That's how ethanol neutralises the effects by stopping the conversion. But really how much methanal is being formed? Surely it can't be that much?

Read the post, Monsato deliberatly poisoned a waterway. They did this with no regard for animal or human safety. Now, explain to me how I am supposed to trust a company that does things like that with something that is as potentially as dangerous as transgenic crops. That's why it's relevant.
And of course that's not the biggest arguement, if you don't know that, then you shouldn't be posting stuff like that in the first place!
Speaking as a New Zealand, I must say that many New Zealanders would, at this point in time, be mortified to hear you say that. Though I can see where you're coming, from, we're too fiercly independent. We like to live our own way, and I think that sheer stubborness will keep us away from Aussie, even if it makes economic sense. Just my 2c.

Sure when something goes wrong, blame the kiwi's. That's what we're there for. :)
