  1. Re:Clever use on How E-commerce With Drone Delivery is Taking Flight in China (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the rednecks would use them as target practice.

    Hey, hold my beer!

  2. Re: Drones as weapons, go figure on Criminals Used a Fleet of Drones To Disrupt an FBI Hostage Operation (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    No needs to âoefigure outâ how to do that. Anyone who builds DIY drones could do it without a second thought.

  3. Re:Sam Morse's son's comment on the telegraph on Belgium Ends 19th-Century Telegram Service (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Petzold wrote a neat book called 'code' that spends a lot of time on telegraphs and how the relays they used became the transistors in modern computers.

  4. Re:Talk about fake news!!!!! on The Fake News Machine: Inside a Town Gearing Up for 2020 (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    You are correct -- they don't give two shits about any party. They are just marketing towards the folks who will fall for this sort of thing.

  5. Re:Open a new overpriced grocery chain! on Amazon To Complete $13.7B Whole Foods Deal Monday, Promises Lower Prices and Prime Integration (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    So you honestly think that if I made you two bowls of whipped cream, one with your buzzword compliant HWC and the other with whatever crap I could get down at the poor people grocery store that you could actually tell the difference?

  6. The average joe knows this one.

    Ari Fleischer.

    No idea if I spelled that right. I am a pretty average joe.

  7. Waste of money on The US Government is Loaning Millions of Dollars To Jumpstart Urban Farming (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Cities are a terrible place to try to grow food. Spend the money doing it where the results are worth the effort. This is almost as bad as solar panels street surfaces.

  8. Re:More Lies on Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    So you've demonstrated a second example where someone was willfully infringing on a patent and got sued for it.

    Good job.

  9. Re:Brace for shill accusations in on Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    GMO is not an ingredient, it's a breeding method. Labeling it conveys no useful information. The only thing serves to do it to confuse the public with regards to the safety.

    I don't hear you wanting (organic) produce bred with mutagenesis, hybridization, or cross breeding labeled.

  10. Re:Brace for shill accusations in on Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The second problem is that many of them don't breed true or, indeed, at all.

    No hybrids breed true, and this is the case regardless of whether or not the seed is GMO, conventional, or organic. Further, it's also the reason that most farmers don't save seed.

    Now, the "or, indeed, at all" ... I am really not sure what you are talking about here. There are no seeds sold with a "terminator gene". Period.

    It runs them. Not recompiled binaries, but actual ELF binaries.

    There is no GMO wheat on the market.

    There are no GMO cows on the market.

    Grow corn and have a few water purifiers in your settlement and you can get as much tape as you need. You're welcome.

  14. Re:Anti-science is a PR plague on Majority of EU Nations Seek Opt-Out From Growing GM Crops · · Score: 2

    mutating plants with radiation

    That's not what GMO is.

    That's what organic is.

  15. Re:And you call the Americans anti-science on Majority of EU Nations Seek Opt-Out From Growing GM Crops · · Score: 1, Informative

    If they become unwilling or unable to sell corn seed, buy it from another company.

    Amazon should give the retailer who sold the kindle a little taste on each purchase that is made on the device.

  22. Meh on Stone-Throwing Chimp Back In the News With Better Plan · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I would go and see this chimp if they would let me throw the stones back at him. Hell, I'd even pay good money.
