Yeppers, it would break Monsanto's heart if the neighboring farms got cross-pollenated to the terminator varieties, I bet. Besides, there is already a *single-use* seed. Called Hybrids. They won't reproduce true to type if you save the seed produced, and usually revert to a weedy ancestor or something which was bred into the mix to give disease resistance or *toughness* for shipping varieties, etc.

They are NOT fakes. God created all this stuff just to *trick* us. When He is not enjoying a race of sycophants brown-nosing (as per their total reason for having been created), he smirks.
The only person that is going to be screwed by this is the guy that gets National ID #666.:-) My social security number isn't 666 so I guess I am ok.;-)

This whole thing is flawed. The MS folks simply cherry-picked a specific set of not-way-ordinary conditions which their own tests found NT to be superior on, so they can say "well what about on THIS junk? Look how well NT blah blah." Do a *real-world* test- To wit: "Here is your budget of X dollars; you guys BUY/use MS-whatever and pick your system, same-same for you Open-Source guys. Compare the performance on what you got for your money- no other strings." This is what the REAL market has been doing, which is why Bill is purchasing rigged comparions.
Nothing is *always* the best- never bring a knife to a gunfight.
