  1. Re:They tried this already. on Scientists Breeding Super Bees · · Score: -1

    Honey Bees aren't even native to the US, they are imported from Europe. There should be no problem utilizing Bumble Bees and such which are native to North America. Even if the price becomes higher its not the armageddon scenario you describe.

  4. Re:Well, you can't save 'em all on Scientists Create a "Worth Saving" Index For Endangered Animals · · Score: 0

    Like all those rare medicinal plants being found in the Amazon every year? You're saying every single one has been investigated and found to be of no use?

  5. Re:Well, you can't save 'em all on Scientists Create a "Worth Saving" Index For Endangered Animals · · Score: 0

    Natural or not, if you want to take that point of view you should look at biodiversity and species benefit to mankind. So if a species was going to "go extinct anyway" but it was very useful to us, obviously it would be worth saving. Who cares if its "natural" or not? The problem is we don't know which species may be beneficial in the future. People who complain about it being unnatural are the same who argue putting bacteria on Mars is unnatural therefore unethical...seriously, who cares?

  9. Both on Utah To Teach USA is a Republic, Not a Democracy · · Score: 0

    If you've never taken a basic political science class, please don't comment with your personal opinion. The simple fact the U.S is both.

    Republic = not a monarchy (look it up if you don't believe me)
    Democracy = ruled by the people in any sense, representative, direct, whatever

  10. Re:63.9 months for a car on Consumers Buy Less Tech Stuff, Keep It Longer · · Score: 0

    How many cars are in accidents after being owned just a few years? How many used cars die? How many people have 36 month leases? Knowing a median would help in this situation.

    For the millionth time, the U.S is both a democracy and a Republic. They're not mutually exclusive. It's not a DIRECT democracy.

  18. Re:What the hell, I'll bite. on French Branch of Scientology Is Convicted of Fraud · · Score: -1

    It's not perfect, as pretty much nothing is. But insulting the mainstream just because it's the mainstream is what make you elitist. I'm sure any plan you could come up with wouldn't automatically make everyone happy, loving and peaceful.

    Reminds me of people who stop liking a band because its achieved commercial success or stop drinking a craft brew because it's starting to catch on with many people. Pointless, self-defeating, and yes elitist.

  19. Re:Why wouldn't Fox be MSM? on French Branch of Scientology Is Convicted of Fraud · · Score: -1, Troll

    Whenever I see the term "mainstream" used, I wish it were replaced with "lowest common denominator" instead. It'd be a better world.

    Whenever I see the user "causality" commenting, I wish the user name were replaced with "elitist douche" instead. It'd be a better world.

  20. Squatters IN Apple store? on Squatters Abusing iPhone App Store · · Score: -1

    When I saw this I thought it was about the people that go in the apple store and play around with the live demo iPhones. You could call anyone with these random numbers. One time a friend texted me from one of the display units and my number remained in the phone. Following that I kept getting random "fu" and"ahole" text messages for two weeks.

    On the contrary, many stock traders purposely don't allow their own judgement to ruin profitable trades. Computers don't have emotion which can negatively affect what they're trying to do. Check out the book 'Fooled by Randomness'.

    CSS is not written in XML. However anything actually AJAX (the X is XML) would probably violate it.
