PowerPC never had a performance issue. Apple ditched it because IBM could not provide mobile versions of it in the numbers Apple needed it. And IBM had no real plans to improve the mobile version, that is all.
The PowerPC architecture is a really nice one and has nothing to hide versus Intel.
Refusing GMO products does not kill people either. Most GMO products are either only used in animal food (as they are not cleared for human usage) or in non food plants like cotton... just saying.
You don't think a couple hundred years of extensive fishing has not exerted a evolutionary selective pressure on them then? Actually? No? Why would it? How would it work?
widespread use of GMOs using modern GMO is not wide spread. It is (at least food) forbidden in most countries...
Your DNA is absolutely loaded with code from species that are not human. Lol... what a fucked argument is that?
ALL DNA in a human is either human or from an RNA virus, as sure as hell you have no Dandoline or jelly fish DNA in your body...
OTOH: if you have, you would be a nice scientific study.
I don't really get it. Why do chaps like you, you have made pretty clear in the last posts, that they have no clue about the topic insist in posting post after post and even get modded up.
Nitpicking again? And your mods are stupid as a sack of saw dust. If we talk about "genetic altered" we... that means "we as ordinary people", always mean artificial genetically modified. No idea why you mix that up with "breeding".
Obviously every human on the plant is aware that you can "breed"... hence the word... plants and animals in some way and alter their genetics.
But: thank you for the reminder... perhaps with my old age I might have forgotten this simple truth.
I believe meanwhile all over the world tomatoes are close to inedible. When I move house I plan to have a small garden and breed some 100 - 200 year old tomato variations. What you can get here in a supermarket is so bad, I only buy them once a year over the last 30 years... You can only eat them cooked... I already wonder if a "insalata caprese" with slightly cooked and then cooled tomatoes would be an interesting variation. Raw tomatoes are so bad now, I remove them from any food they are inside, they are close to make me vomit.
Bananas are not radioactive. There might be a region where bananas suck in Cesium... but if the soil where they grow have no such Cesium, they can not suck it in. In other words: the Cesium is radioactive. Would be the same with cow milk from the same area.
Because there are more of us than this world can support already. No, there aren't. We throw away 40% - 50% of all food. The planet can easily host 100% more people without any change in food production. And could easily host 40 billion if we optimize instead of exploit. Probably even up to 100billion.
All GM does is get us there faster and with less uncertainty. I suggest to read at least the wikipedia article about GM(O) before you make even more a fool about yourself.
she claims to have coined it. Any reference where and when she claimed to have coined it? As far as I can tell, some press, e.g./., mentions that she has coined it. I'm not aware that she herself claims that, and even if she had coined it, why would she claim that (point it out?)? What fame would there be in claiming. "I coined the term X"? If one would stand in front of me and tell me "I coined the term X" I would dismiss him as an idiot. And I'm sure so would anyone else. Regardless what X would be.
The is certainly one thing we can say for sure: Young Mr. Ng is not getting laid. I would not be so certain about that:D However he is not looking like an athlet.
A few weeks ago I was in a pub and a guy at the bar was involved in a talk to the next guy.
Turned out he was retired and his hobby was "subway", "metro" or "tram" explorations. He was in my town to basically ride every city train from end station to end station and and watching the city/landscape.
I actually considered something similar in Paris, I was so often there, but basically only know 0.5% of the city.
But for that guy it was a typical holiday. He informs himself about the town and then books a hotel an then only rides around in trains... kinda absurd.
E.g. you transliterate a japanese word into Romaji/Romanji. E.g. watashi wa nomu o Angelo desu. Most european languages (french and english the only exceptions I'm aware of) are pronounced exactly like that jap. sentence. If you have learned to pronounce e.g. italian, you can pronounce, norwegian, or german just fine. Of course a few languages have some tricks like the different pronunciation of "c" in italian depending of the following vowel or the "j" in spain that is used like a "ch" in german.
There are more MDs and researchers in the medical sciences who say that it is bogus than there are MDs and researchers in the medical sciences who say it isn't bogus.
Extremely unlikely. First of all acupuncture is not a hot research topic. Secondly, half the world has medicine where acupuncture is a basic treatment.

I guess you would need some genetic modified cow or goat, I doubt the corn would be scared by dogs. ;D

No one hates golden rice.
That is a /. or "anti anti GMO" haters myth.

What exactly is wrong with "organic"?

Most pollen allergies only affect people living in cities, where the pollen clusters up with fuel based air pollution.

No, it is not.
You can not edit a chicken or fish gene into a tomato via "natural selection".
Sigh, he was playing with words: "AppleCare" how much would "apple" "care" for him ...
You mean this one: http://osi.org/ ??
The biggest Open Source organization is probably: http://apache.org/

In the late 1980s every software on UNIX still came with source code so you could build it yourself.
That dos not make it "open source".
I built hundreds of kernels for Sun OS, early Solaris and DEC Ultrix. Of course most software I built was "open source" or early GPL.
I'm pretty sure, she did not and does not claim that she "coined the term".
Some media did, or some idiots did.
And you are an nitpicking asshole as you are very well aware that this person never stand up in public and claimed: "I coined the term 'opens source'"
Why the fuck do you try to push her into that corner and force her to "defend herself"?

Actually speaking japanese helps in some way.
