Compatible with DVD players. DCD -R is about 90% compatible. DVD +R is about 75% compatible according to the folks at DVDrhelp.com. That's significant when you want to send a family video off to Aunt Sally.
1. Someone has to put it in the sterile casing. 2. Someone has to take it out of the sterile casing and load it into the sprayer. 3. Someone has to actually spray the material on the plants. 4. The wind tends to blow a spray around, getting it on the farmer, the equipment, etc. 5. No one thought this was particularly dangerous until this "study" so steps one and two would not have really happened.
Thimerosol hasn't been used as a preservative in vaccines in recent years and therefore cannot be the cause of rising Autism in children in recent years.
I predict that within ten years, the number one cause of death in America and Europe will be from panic attacks induced by the evening news.
Repeat after me: Dosage. Dosage. Dosage. The dose of chlorine in drinking water kills the nasties that cause dysentery, and is totally, absolutely one hundred percent harmless to you, your pets and anything else larger than a bacteria. For crying out loud, FEMA posts directions on how much chlorine bleach to add to suspect water to purify it for human consumption in case of natural disaster.
And, of course, the fact that we're sending our kids off to orphanages for 8 to 10 hours a day while Mummy and Daddy go work for the Lexus payment, and then buy them guilt gifts on Christmas and birthdays has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Nah, these behavioral disorders can't be children screaming for their parents to notice them and not shuttle them off to the cattle pen every weekday morning. No, that can't be it at all. It's some chemical in the environment. That's it. Whew. Now we can all feel like we're good parents because we buy our kid a cell phone so we can keep in touch from the office.
One, you're engaging in an attack the messenger fallacy.
Two, re-read Milloy's credentials. His doctorate is in law. His Bachelors is in natural sciences from John Hopkins, and his masters is in health sciences and biostatics from John Hopkins.
So even your attack the messenger fallacy isn't very good.
Let's see. A substance that was so toxic that 100% of the animals exposed to it died even when the dosage was incredibly miniscule, yet the farmers and manufacturers who produced, shipped and handled it by the ton suffered no ill effects.
I swear, do people deliberately disengage their brains when they start talking about this stuff?
The snopes site de-emphasized the DHMO report done by that High School kid saying that a 9th grade audience was more gullible than the average population. Either they were wrong, or most slashdot posters are 9th graders.
If you want to see what the real result of the First Law of Robotics would be, read Jack Williamson's short story: With Folded Hands. He also novelized it later on into the Humanoids. Both are excellent reads and a very keen insight into the unintended consequences of Asimov's First Law.

Secondly, if you actually read the book again, you will find that it was the seduction of Saruman's evil, finding a place in the hearts of the willing that caused the corruption in the Shire.

It is the first refuge of a poor writer to blame his audience for lack of comprehension.
The context of your writing was ultimate as in pure essence, final example of, as in the ultimate truth.
The moral of the story in the books is that there is such a thing as ultimate evil. Sauron, the ring, orcs, etc. epitomized that ultimate evil.
Get your dictionary definitions correct in their context and quit blaming your readers for your poor writing skills.
Sauron was weak because he'd lost the ring. In order to give the ring the power to control the other rings of power, Sauron had to pour nearly all of his own power and malice into it.
This is a theme that runs through the LOTR as well as the Silmarillion. Beings of power which use their power for domination, have to spend that power on the things they dominate. Their own personal power diminishes. Thus, Sauron is greatly weakened when the ring is cut off his finger the first time, and he is reduced to nothing but a powerless shadow when the ring is actually destroyed.
Likewise, Saruman's personal power is spent on the command and control of his army, such that when his armies are defeated, he's not much more than a pale imitation of his former self, unable to do anything other than use the honey-sweet charm of his voice. No more magic, no more staff.
Gandalf was not muttering My Precious because what the ring did to him, but because the fact that Bilbo would use such a phrase disturbed him greatly.
As for the hobbit thing, not all hobbits would resist the ring. Only those hobbits who were inclinded to goodness. Ted Sandyman was a small, mean little hobbit, and would kill for the ring, just as Smeagol was a small mean little hobbit when he killed for the ring.

On the contrary. The moral of the story is exactly that there is such a thing as ultimate evil, and that it works through seduction, and that no one is safe from it nor can they ever escape its consequences.
Record company replies: Nice bluff, Wal-mart, but we both know you can't take the hit in customers by pulling that. We'll take our 75c per song, please.
Wal-mart: Crap. These guys aren't slashdot morons. They actually understand economics.
You mean, of course, without Sauron finding out while Gandalf tried to convince the Eagles to care even a little bit what the world of Men did to themselves.
For more information on the personalities and priorities of the Great Eagles, see the Hobbit.
Actually, I did. I lived in Japan for 16 months. American occupation worked wonders in that country.
Folks in Puerto Rico seem to like American occupation so much, they keep turning down the chance to become a state and/or independent (holy cow, an occupying country that allows people to vote on becoming independent!)
America is a good nation with a good people, and desires good things for everone in the world. (Note, I said good, not perfect.). You can choke on your hatred for America all you want, but you just wind up looking and sounding like a kook.

Good grief. This was modded as insightful?

The hysteria here is unreal.
Actually, there is a lot of question that DDT had a devastating effect on birds and long-term effects on people.
Silent Spring was a classic piece of junk science. Do a google for DDT scam.
Or teachers who like docile students.

Now the Chicoms can steal US technology without ever leaving the comforts of home.
Um, the apple symbol is SUPPOSED to be on the screen, not the Microsoft logo. It doesn't mean the computer is broken.
Oh, thank you so much for dredging up that memory. I had successfully blocked it until now.
-and instead follows in the Peter Jackson style of turning classic books from a particular genre into an amazing series of movies.-
You mean make up a bunch of stuff and change all the character personalities?

Well, Iraq is a whole heck of a lot more than six times bigger than Boston, so your point was?
Oh, wait. I'm sorry, you didn't have one, other than to say: I hate Bush.
Why would terrorists hit their biggest allies in the US?
Yeah, it's a troll and flamebait, but it's good humor because it's based in truth.

That's because the Hobbit and LOTR are two entirely different genre. LOTR is an epic myth. The Hobbit is more of a traditional fairy tale.
Oh, spare us. TWELVE dwarves giving us non-stop comic relief?
