Don't GM crops cost a lot to develop? I can imagine a third world country struggling to pay for enough of these plants to cover all potentially dangerous areas.
Still, it is basically a brilliant idea, though it is still important to make sure anti-personnel mines are not used in the first place, and this organism is only necessary in the battlefields where wars were fought in the past.
You don't see them in record shops, though. They just wouldn't be able to hold much music. Unless it was in MP3, in which case, why not get a Flash or Hard Disc based player?
CDs will be around as a data storage medium well after they cease to be the common way we buy music. They'll be the floppy of the future- old fashioned, unsophisticated, but useful in certain circumstances.
It seems there used to be a smaller 3" CD, which was abandoned, presumably because it didn't hold much music. The size of the CD makes a limit to the size of the player, unless you want it sticking out. So discmen can't get much smaller than they are now. Anyway, soon all CD players will be considered forgotten electronics.
Yes, but, as you were dying of hypothermia, you would at least be able to use your mobile phone to call for help.
Or call the manufacturer of these gloves and ask for your money back.
Until the next Timothy MacVeigh uses racial profiling to his advantage, waltzing through security while any Mohammed whose isn't a boxer with the surname Ali gets the rubber glove treatment.
They would have got a far more convincing scream if they had actually thrown an actor down a chasm, but you can't do that these days.
Maybe that's why they used an old scream, it comes from the days when you were allowed to harm people in the pursuit of art.
I think the main reason Hollywood films come out in the UK later than the US is to allow time for PR in each country, with actors, directors etc expected to come to London and talk to a lot of newspapers, magazines, TV Programmes etc. Naturally, this is reflected in the DVD release schedule.
Films like the Matrix sequels and LOTR require less PR than others, as everyone knows about them anyway.
I do think Piracy will lead to more films coming out simultaneously throughout the world, which will make region codes less necessary.
Aren't you supposed to take a "mini-break" from your computer every hour or so? I know no-one who does this, but the advertising, causing people to get up from their computer ever hour, could cause an improvement in the nation's health. Less backache, less eyestrain...

Apparently, there's Unix code in these plants information processing systems.

Groklaw has become an indespensible site for geeks who need even more SCO updates than even /. provides
/. come from Groklaw?
Don't most SCO updates on
Hope both sites keep up the good work in 2004 and both post the headline "SCO case thrown out of court" soon.
Matches are allowed in hand luggage, though the ban on smoking means the only use you have for them is lighting the explosives in your shoes.
