  1. So, IOW, GM Crops are still bullshit. on New Study Confirms Safety of GM Crops · · Score: 1

    "'The studies reviewed present evidence to show that GM plants are nutritionally equivalent to their non-GM counterparts"

    Considering the nutritional quality of our food has been steadily dropping for the past 50 years according to a 2005 study from the University of Texas and the USDA, titled "Changes in USDA Food Composition Data for 43 Garden Crops, 1950 to 1999," GM crops are essentially worthless garbage.

    That carbon pitch is so efficient at dissipating heat that even gentle airflow provides enough heat removal.

    My 300w array is in something MUCH smaller than a computer case, again with only so many places for heat to go and other stuff creating heat (power drivers.)

    "200W is really hard (and expensive) to cool"

    No, not really. I've got 300w LED arrays in a 30mm x 30mm package that are kept cool with nothing more complex than a copper heat sink that's been pressure-blasted with mesophase carbon pitch. Junction temps never get past +10C room temp..

    Problem, oh non-worker in the field?

    I don't know what outdated fridge you have, but mine consumes on average 300kWh per annum thanks to extremely efficient heat exchangers (the same kind being used in cars, which have typical efficiency of 400% - 1w energy consumed, 4w heat removed from the system.) I also have plenty of low-power and high-power gadgetry in this *HUGE* condo, and I'm still feeding surplus energy into CA's grid from solar and wind. I have a NEGATIVE bill.

    Just because *YOU* use a ton of inefficient equipment doesn't mean everybody does.

    "There's a reason this is a major government backed initiative: It's almost hopelessly optimistic given today's technology. "

    No, it's because people like you aren't smart enough to know how to effectively build and operate such a system on your own, and have it actually work.

    "They lack the kinetic energy to strip away very heavy gasses with strong intermolecular forces."

    But they possess more than enough energy potential to still split apart heavier molecules into lighter constituents.

    UV radiation alone can do this, especially in the UVC range (which our atmosphere happens to filter out due to water.)

    As has already been demonstrated at my porn shop job, this poses a HUGE security risk.

    Just the simple act of plugging in your phone to charge can leave the hosting system compromised.

    We found a virus in our systems a few days ago. Security log check - some LG device was plugged into our system.

    We got lucky, I caught it before it could fuck our inventory database any worse than it already was when we finally discovered it.

    No, moron. Go look at other animals, oh such as the Bonobos Monkey.

    Many animals have demonstrated decision-making processes, like ravens, crows, dolphins.

    Rats are shown to help other rats stuck in traps, bringing them food.

    Your unwillingness to place humans alongside animals is evidence of a weak education.
