    Repair, the repair function. While you're at it, whack some other parts with a hammer. Durability testing should be part of the job description.

    No, but it is a common ancestor to many forms of music and carries the seed of dubstep. More closely related to reggae from which sprang dub, which has evolved into many forms incl. dubstep. Nothing new to see here, just another young ego taken down by enlightenment.

    Lessee where was dubstep in the 60s, Oh, yeah, it was ska, then reggae, then dub, etc, till now when someone takes musical forms available and thinks they are doing something new. Sorry, wrong answer, but next up is Mary from Reno to have a crack at it.

    Having a new idea, has nothing to do with discovery of fact, theory of process or hypothesis.
    Having a new idea, is to pluck something unknown or undone from the aether , so to speak.
    Sit down and try as hard as you can to not duplicate an idea already produced. Push hard, dummy.

    D for data as in data rights management. Data= knowledge which longs to be free( so to speak).
    There is NOTHING new in the world, there are NO new ideas. Protecting ideas that someone gets and holding it to them for a lifetime and a half is the BIGGEST waste of potential innovation I can think of.
    Protecting music has shown us that a middleman can harvest musicians for a while until they are discarded. Freeing ourselves from this model will allow musicians to pursue lucrative performance careers while some may still write for hire.
    Television and movies? All trickle down through cable, local stations, friends houses, bars, stores, and of course the internet.
    Software? Business procedures? Come On! We've all sat here for years and watched the chaos.
    Owning ideas is just an illusion that hold us all back and down while making criminals of us.
    Time to get over this DRM nonsense as well as Patent and Copyright.

  14. Re:English Translation on Europe Needs Genetically Engineered Crops, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    Sadly , a lot of good arable land goes to waste here. Farmers will also plant crops in places they know will flood and collect insurance for a few years, sell it to the next farmer who wants to harvest insurance. Then there's the drought in the midwest going on it's 3rd year. I think some creative thinking and diversifying would help, but if the grandfather grew wheat, corn and beans, the son and grandson are likely to follow. Napa valley produce is watery flavorless nutrition-less garbage due to overfarming and "modern farming" methods, so we get a lot of produce from Chile now. We could do soooo much better, if only we could untangle politics and banking corruption from the utility of farming.

    Scientists owned by Monsanto claim Europe must surrender to Monsanto or starve.
    What we need to hear instead.
    Monsanto was banned from business in Europe and their patents stripped.
    It's just time to go back to more natural high yield seed with no patents. For everyones good.
    Put it in the ground, feed it ,water it, it comes up, flowers, fruits, just like Monsanto.
    We need Monsanto and Cargill for what now?
    Regulate the shit out of them. Uncover the bribery and make an example of the scientists backing Monsanto while we're at it.
