You are correct but also wrong its like comparing you with a caveman, you would be very different, but you are both still 100% human.
GM foods derived by scientifically splicing DNA fragments together have not had millenia of natural selection to weed out the defects and frankly that scares the shit out of me. Consider a mother eating GM food which might be fine and tested as safe, but there is a defect and she passes it onto her child (its not unheard of)
Its not the first time tested substances have been found to be bad for us. Waiting until after the defects start coming in with something as dangerous as GM crops would be horrific, not least how would you REMOVE it from the earth after its cross pollinated? Fully natural hybrids have been used and tested for millenia and are PROVEN (you and I wouldn't be here without it working) to work, the methods described in the article are just a fine tuning of that. If we can get ALL the same benefits of GM crops without randomly inserting DNA from who knows what then I am all for it, this article would appear to make GM foods days numbered - its just not worth the risk in my eyes.
No, GM modification is taking random DNA (which might be animal based) and placing it into plants for our consumption. The scales of the Deep sea herring appears to repel greenfly, so they extract what appears to be the active fragment of DNA and implant it into a donor plant.
Mrs perkins down the road is allergic to fish and very wisely avoids eating anything fishy.
All of a sudden the bread she is eating makes her have a reaction, for such a staple product like wheat or rice this is NOT a good situation, she doesn't know what she can avoid anymore or worse she might not be around to know.
Thats only one of the possible scenarios, what happens if this crop is worldwide before we realise that DNA strand acted in a strange way on our offspring?
A process which takes the best of the natural world and the best of our scientific processes and gives natural selection a helping hand.
Because the desirable features all come from varieties of natural crops, the chances of three headed luminous offspring appear unlikely.
When they were first talking about skin colour of wild plants I thought it was a waste (because you can see the fruit colour), but they are sequencing the saplings of these plants before they have grown enough to bear fruit. It allows them to tell within days which of the crop has the desired features.
I just wonder how many samples it take to identify a marker though - you can't use a single sample and must really DNA test an entire range of pre-categorised samples. I wonder if any of the seed banks will allow their stock to be tested?
This is in effect similar to the genetic testing of embryos for certain high risk hereditary diseases, but goes to show just how cheap and "normal" DNA testing has become.
I am loathed to pay money for a license for such a small part of the system when so many people have donated their time to build the rest of the system.
Perhaps what is needed is a concerted campaign to get these codecs open sourced (and no I don't just mean moaning on a web message board).
No actually, the pick gun will be more generic. Unless you carry a whole set of bump keys around the machine will be better.
To bump a specific type of lock you need a specific type of key. That involves scoping it out and making sure you have a bump key cut for that lock or you are going home empty handed. With the pick tool, you can take one item and try it with a higher success rate no doubt.
I like the idea of using the GPU for other things, especially since its the most capable parallel processor in most machines and sits almost idle most of the time.
I thought the same thing, theres thousands of movies made which don't even get the chance to come first, let alone make it to the top.
Also, from the article they say 20 million dollars have been spent marketing but I haven't seen a single none fan made advert anywhere. If they had saved this money the movie would be in profit already.
Not that it matters now, but the observations appear to show a collision between 2 large entities. Since we don't know enough (we are all just speculating) to confirm things it could be 2 neutron stars.
Hurricanes and typhoons here on earth show similar spiral arms in their formation and nobody thinks its dark matter, it may simply be the underlying shape of the particles which make up the universe which is doing it.

How about just wanting to lead a healthy 100% natural life eating food grown by selection: 100% open source.
I don't want propriety food tyvm.

Because a video was posted on youtube and now everyone is going "OMG noes!!!!"
The door is locked and the windows also have locked deadbolts on.
You can escape with barely anything or just get stuck there.

If you see a story somewhere else and you haven't seen it here submit it.
Don't complain about slashdot not posting things when (almost) every article is based upon user submission.
I've got a crate full of Diamond Stealth 3d 2000 cards to sell if you are interested.
They have 2MB of EDO memory (upgradable to 4) for the ultimate experience.
It runs on PCI. Express graphics are guaranteed.
The governments' mum confirmed it has lost its job and is moving back into the basement.
Seriously, SCO must be salivating at the prosect of this, its like a one last gasp hope.
One minor point though, how come IBM only have 1 lawyer, didn't they have a breeding program in the 60s and 70s?

I'm not afraid to be offtopic, at least the moderation is valid.
It riles me when I see idiotic mods though.

"Yes."
Why is this first post a troll when the second post saying the same thing is +5 funny?
*shakes head at mods on crack*
The problem with this is that astrologists are campers.
They obsessively watch their scopes for the perfect kill.
I think he did, and looks like he trusts google too much.

Thanks, where the Enlightening mod when you need one?
Though in practice, the dark matter nebula they claim to have found could simply be a much finer dust made up of former neutron star particles?
If the moon is made of palladium would the DMCA prevent mining?
They are really pushing out the boat, don't get a PS3 have a girly PS2 instead!
