I'd always thought the genetically engineered seed was also genetically engineered not to produce seed, at all. I guess I gave the biology guys too much credit.

States that transition to one-party systems...will be vulnerable to corruption and attendant organized crime, particularly if their ideology calls for substantial government involvement in the economy
Hmmmm. It's on page 123. Yes, the "..." refers to "such as any new Islamic-run state" but if you take out the propaganda booster, it's all the same as the US.
So... what are we doing to fix this problem here at home?
I think it is fairly safe to assume that if you have an email address, you get spam. Period.
But you shouldn't. It's a clear violation of consumer protection laws.
Take real world spam: junk mail. I've lived in my current location for less than one year. I've purposely misspelled my address on a number of forms (Holyhock instead of Hollyhock) just so that I could monitor junk mail. I have given the misspelled address to only a handful of places: three banks and my insurance carrier. I asked all of them, at the point of signup, if they share their databases with anyone else. The answer, of course, has always been "no". Guess what? I'm receiving junk mail at "Holyhock".
Electronic spam is no different. If you're getting spam it's because someone has violated their agreement not to share your information with anyone else.
Too bad the existing laws don't work for us--and new ones won't do any better.
True. It's about believability. If you find it easier to believe that some magical creature created the world in six days and placed all the geological evidence in all the appropriate places--fine. If you find it easier to believe that some magical creature set the rules and then let the algorithm run--fine.
I don't see any harm done in teaching both. I learned both. I can see the merits of both. Am I to believe that I'm especially gifted and intellectually evolved because I can comprehend both without experiencing an internal breakdown leading to a fanatical legal pursuit?

Being a Christian is fine. Ignoring the real-world examples of evolution is just... well... I don't know what it is. As a Roman Catholic, I can't even think of a good reason to argue with evolution unless you have a flaming desire to argue.
Anyone who takes issue with the Pledge of Allegiance should be shot... or escorted to the Antarctic. Period. No trial, no lawyer, no argument. I've said the pledge for decades and I'll be gosh-darned if it isn't the perfect mantra.

They're taught in Catholic schools, I'll start printing em up eh?
Catholic schools aren't taxpayer dollars. Oh wait... *THAT'S* why all the liberals want school credits and vouchers: so they can start reaping the profits from lucrative book printing deals.
A minority of people in this country understand the Calculus. They should be the ones who decide what everyone's kids learn in school. So, yes, exactly: a minority should decide what the majority's kids learn in schools everyone's taxes fund. That's because the minority is often smarter.
It's no wonder I get trolled when I state that the tax system is a pyramid scheme. The vast majority of the population understands calculus (or diffeq) to the point where they can see the similarity. Yet they're allowed to vote.
I suppose I'm the only one who sees anything wrong with this.

Jury selection is hardly objective. As pointed out in earlier posts, this case will probably never make it to jury trial. It's a case of,"We know it's prohibitively expensive to fight the ticket--they'll pay and be on their way."
I busted my ass through 7 years of higher education, paying my way through and mortgaging my life with loans
So did I. I know how to suck it up.
My boss is psychotic, yelling things that people would never say to others in the civilized world
Do like this guy did and have him taken down for disorderly, then.
When I was harassed by these idiots, I tuned it out, simply because I have class
NOW you have my respect.
They don't have class if they have nothing better to do than to harass people who are just trying to make a living
Agreed.
Walk a mile in my shoes before you attack me or my profession, buddy
When did I attack your profession? My only assertion was that your colleague whom you defend needs to learn the same class that you have--the ability to tune morons like those two fellows out.
Put down the crack pipe FUD-boy. Libertarians are all about government staying away from citizens' personal doings. That happens to be the opposite of socialist.
Stupid college kids with their parroting. You're no better than name-droppers.
They weren't talking TO him in the elevator. They're passing the jokes between each other. In fact, they don't even know he's in the elevator with them (yes, change the scenario).
Is it still harassment?
Read bash.org, find the racist jokes. What if you're a person of color? Is bash.org liable? I hope not. If you don't like what you hear... GROW UP AND DON'T LISTEN.
I think that we can dismiss the legitimacy of "disorderly conduct" based upon the fact that, due to subjective interpretation, anything can be an "unreasonable noise". It's not a matter of the noise, it's a matter of how many people disagree with you. As for 3. "Abusive or obscene language" is also completely subjective. Jokes, as in beauty, are in the ear (eye) of the beholder (belistener).
So spare me the dictionary and come back to reality.
and yell extremely vile and rude things at the attorneys walking by
My old boss did that to me on a yearly basis as well as treating me with complete disdain throughout the year. No one felt sorry for me.
that lawyers aren't a bunch that many feel sorry for
Don't feel special. I don't feel sorry for anyone.
Doesn't make you feel too nice
Suck it up. If I were paid enough to wear a 3-piece, I'd learn to tune it out. As it is I settle for shirt-and-tie, and I bet I could still tune it out.
to answer a DWI charge, which I do find amusing
If the state funded cab fare the same way it funds ego clubs... How much does it cost the taxpayers to detain and question 2 individuals and run them through the system? How much will it cost the taxpayers just to process this guy for his DWI? Wouldn't it be cheaper for me to have offered, through the gov't, to pay his cab fare? Even both ways (next morning to get back to his car) would be, what, $100? That's a lot cheaper than the court time.
Oh wait... Now I'm being bad for the economy because I'm subsidizing cabbies while taking money away from desk clerks.
I believe that they were trying to incite the attorney who was on line
Of course they were! And if he were worth his paycheck, he'd SUCK IT UP!
i.e. if everyone standing in line is annoyed (which sounds like what happened).
Oh dear. You lose again.
From TFA: "But while that rib and several others on barristers got some giggles from the crowd, the attorney standing in line about five people ahead wasn't laughing."
False. They were specifically there to take care of a small amount of business and have fun at lawyers' expense on the way in. Do you honestly think that lawyers don't sit around and beef on the general working population? How about people who crack jokes about political third parties? Those trolls are on/. and in public all the time (especially around election time). No one's hauling them off.
What goes around comes around. Tell the lawyer to grow a pair and go about his business.
Slashdot Mirror
are you implying that Monsanto considers every crop they do not distribute as a "pest"?
They're setting a legal precedent on the word "herb", actually. Monsanto wants to sue growers once it's legal.

No, seriously, as I scientist I recognize that this is a possibility.
