Well what we are talking about here is GMO crops. that means Genetically Modified Organisms. Not discussing Genetic Engineering here. Way to play the red herring game. And the link that is posted is not SyFy channel You should watch it instead of spewing uninformed gibberish.
actually it does not get exactly where they want it because they don't even know where they want it. It ends up randomly into the helix of the crop and if they get the desired results (Round-UP resistance) then they push the seed out to market. Why don't you get more information before you come in here defending companies like Monsanto with pure speculation.
Biotech is good. Trusting corporations like Monsanto not to sweep issues under the rug that they have found when it comes to food and biotech not so good.
... there is no "Genetic Engineering" yet, only genetic tinkering and selecting (with a lot of praying involved) the best outcome, much like mother nature does. Humans have been growing GMO for milenia, and even have GM themselves... if you're an adult and can metabolize milk, you're it.
Not ignoring changes that were made. That is the whole point of using ethanol or even higher octane gas with boosted engines in the first place to allow me to make changes that are not possible on pump gas unless you want to see your engine suffer a catastrophic meltdown. That is how with using E85 I am able to produce 700+HP
yes because the EGT was lowered quite a bit and was able to run 28PSI of boost as opposed to 21PSI on 93 Octane and 25PSI on 114 Octane race gas which is ridiculously expensive. It basically makes race gas obsolete in my book.
E85 is wonderful fuel for my RX-7 I LOVE it.. I am able to produce 700+HP from a 1.1 litre engine as opposed to only 545HP with 93octane. And the engine feels damn cool to the touch. And its MUCH cheaper than race gas. I just wish there were more stations to fill up when I am driving it on the street.
Looks to me like you are heavily invested in seeing Google destroyed. You put quite a bit of thought into it. I wonder what your motivations are. How are you linked to Microsoft?
Because most people know the real reason Google is getting investigated by authorities is because a group of competitors and Microsoft partners led by Microsoft have been filing complaints like mad with governments all around the world. So people know this is bogus. Also Bonch is a known paid troll just take a quick look at his posts. He is owned by Microsoft, Apple, and RIAA/MPAA to name a few. His employer is a well known lobbying/public relations entity and hence his posts reflect as such.
By blocking our access to overseas information? Sounds like China. No thanks no fucking thanks. You media people are simply pissed off that people don't want your fucking content any more. You see the Internet as a threat to your control of content. When people are watching Youtube and using Google and Facebook they are not going to the movie theatre or purchasing your shitty content.
Lamar the despicable needs to be REMOVED from office... along with Patrick Leahy, Howard Berman, Orin Hatch and Joe BIden. I am sure I am missing some others. All these clowns are agents of the RIAA?MPAA. They don't give a DAMN about the artists. All they care about are campaign contributions form big money.
The Cuyahoga River at one time was one of the most polluted rivers in the United States. The reach from Akron to Cleveland was devoid of fish. A Kent State University symposium, convened one year before the infamous 1969 fire, described one section of the river:
From 1,000 feet below Lower Harvard Bridge to Newburgh and South Shore Railroad Bridge, the channel becomes wider and deeper and the level is controlled by Lake Erie. Downstream of the railroad bridge to the harbor, the depth is held constant by dredging, and the width is maintained by piling along both banks. The surface is covered with the brown oily film observed upstream as far as the Southerly Plant effluent. In addition, large quantities of black heavy oil floating in slicks, sometimes several inches thick, are observed frequently. Debris and trash are commonly caught up in these slicks forming an unsightly floating mess. Anaerobic action is common as the dissolved oxygen is seldom above a fraction of a part per million. The discharge of cooling water increases the temperature by 10 to 15F. The velocity is negligible, and sludge accumulates on the bottom. Animal life does not exist. Only the algae Oscillatoria grows along the piers above the water line.
The color changes from gray-brown to rusty brown as the river proceeds downstream. Transparency is less than 0.5 feet in this reach. This entire reach is grossly polluted
We don't need no stinking gubmint regulation. Not allowing private industry to dump toxic chemicals into streams and rivers kills jobs and destroys the economy. "You can't have government interfering with private businesses,"
Personally I don't find it creepy at all. I find it incredibly realistic. I don't think I have ever seen a doll in my lifetime that is a realistic looking as this one. There is no mistaking Steve Jobs face and stare etc on this doll. I am not a fan of Jobs but would purchase one of these in a heartbeat just because of the realism of the face.
Could an MD5 key be kept on Microsoft servers that is accessed by you typing a mandatory passphrase during read/write operations? Maybe Microsoft could require you to create a free account somewhere on their 'cloud'?.
schlep over to my mother's house with a Windows CD... these features should be very welcome on the desktop
I feel your pain. I quit having to schlep over to my mother's house every few months to reload/clean Windows when I installed Ubuntu on her computer 3 or so years ago. She even upgrades the thing herself now. I still have to schlep over there once in a blue moon but no where near every 3 months to re-image her computer every time she clicks on some stupid scam online. She did call me once after I installed Ubuntu to tell me her computer was infected but it was a Windows Exporer window that popped up "how can that be?" She don't have Windows Exporer. It was simply a flash video of an exporer window showing a fake virus scan in her Firefox on Ubuntu. She tried to click the download now button and the exe downloaded but failed to run on Ubuntu.
Yes but given that in this specific case Apple and Intel are behind this I don't think they are going to be learning to program anything let alone program on anything that cost $25. Just sayin'.... When administrators rely on big corporations to write a bill the corporations run the show. In this case they relied on these corporations for the "Technical Advice" in drafting the bill they will rely on them for the "Technical Advice" when deployment comes. That is how these things have always worked. I don't see that changing any time soon. So $25 computer is out of the question. Think $499 iPads for text books purchased through iTunes
I can buy an unlocked phone but it does not reduce the cost I pay monthly by one cent. If I buy a locked phone I get 400-500 off the price of the device and my monthly bill stays the same.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out which road to take here.
It does reduce the cost on T-mobile. AT&T and Verizon are taking advantage of the general ignorance of the population. IF you keep a phone with AT&T and Verizon after your contract has ended then you are in effect purchasing your phone all over again. They do not remove the cost of the phone from your payments as T-Mobile does. In this case what your are doing is allowing them to steal from you. Believe this you will not get $400-500 of the price of any phone in the USA. THe most you typically get is about $375 off up-front which you will pay back through out the life of the contract of if you exit the contract early. Why do you think they charge $375 for "early termination fee"? Look at it this way. if the phone is $199 up-front then you will be paying at least $574 for the phone throughout the life of that contract or you will be paying $574 for the phone if you leave that contract early. If cost of the phone to the carrier is $675 then you will be paying $299 up front and $375 from your monthly bill over the life of the contract. You are absolutely not getting anything off the price you are simply paying for it through your monthly payments. AT&T and Verizon hides that cost in your montly payments.
Well first of all in the US the carriers basically have everyone believing that they are purchasing subsidised phones which they are not. The phones are not subsidised they are financed to the purchaser under the auspices of being subsidised. Nothing can be further from the truth. What you are doing is paying the full carrier cost of that phone through the length of the contract. If you exit the contract early you have to still pay the full carrier cost of the phone. If the cost of the phone to AT&T is $575 they you will pay $200 ($199) up front and $375 on that back-end. If you exit the contract prematurely then you will have to pay the remaining $375 for the phone. So all the US carriers have to do is just start telling the truth and itemise the cost of the phone on your bill. They do not want to do that because people who keep their phone after the contract is up are still paying a payment as part of their bill for their phone once the phone is paid-off. The longer you keep your phone after the contract is up the more you pay for that said phone.

Please stop with that bullshit just stop. When you use a gene gun and blast dna from a bacterium randomly into the genome of a plant species so as that crop can be doused with Round-UP(tm) you are not doing the same thing that farmers have been doing for millennia. sorry to bust your bubble.

You cannot increase the odds by pointing to 'distant galaxies' as the speed of light and therefore radio waves get in the way just a bit.
