What part of "most of the reports didn't involve hobbyists flying near airports" did you not understand?
Didn't read the article, did you? It enumerates only two reports that were not near airports. Out of 764. The rest are dismissed by the reporter because the "pilot didn't see the drone". Well, fuck me. You expect a pilot in a plane making an approach to be able to see your dinky fucking Syma RC quadcopter?
Stupid, stupid drone-bros. Can afford to buy a quadcopter on Amazon but can't read a simple fucking article.
The judge who invalidated the gag order, Victor Marrero, is the same judge that struck down a portion of the revised USA PATRIOT Act in 2007, forcing investigators to go through the courts to obtain approval before ordering ISPs to give up information on customers, instead of just sending them a National Security Letter.
I first read the headline as "How Would You Introduce Kids in Rural Indiana to Computers" and my first thought was, "Don't bother. Introduce them to a toothbrush first".
But there are two areas I think that GMOs can become "bad":
1) GMOs are marketed as if they were the original organism (which I believe constitutes fraud) 2) GMOs produce an organism that is a threat to humans or our environment
I think the socio-economic dangers of GMOs outweigh both of those, and at the very least make the list longer than "two areas".
Transnationals owning IP on basic foodstuffs is a recipe for disaster. With ubiquitous nano-technology around the corner, this is a discussion that needs to happen now, not later.
Ronald Reagan believed in astrology and thought aliens were going to attack the world. Even more ridiculous, he believed in the pseudo-science of supply-side economics.
I seriously doubt it'll make a significant impact on their children's lives. Consider this: If you denied evolution, would that impact your life in any tangible way?
Maybe if I wanted to be a doctor, nurse, teacher, scientist or make it out of high school.
When I took biology in HS, my biology teacher skipped the topic altogether.
They skip sex education too, which is why this happened:
Alabama has double the national rate for sexually transmitted diseases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Montgomery County has four times the national rate for those diseases.
A new CDC poll shows that about half of Alabama's teens have had sex, despite the fact that abstinence-centric sexual education is the law in Alabama.
Republicans want people to negotiate their own pay.
They just don't want you to be able to do it as a group, because they believe it's OK to aggregate capital in a corporation, but somehow it's immoral to aggregate labor in a union.
I have to ask, because I can't help myself: how did this come up in conversation anyway?
Guys in the gym talk about everything, but eventually, the conversation always turns to our genitalia. We can't help ourselves. It's the greatest benefit of having external genitals. It's like a plaything that's always with you and you never get tired of.
A female I know once poetically described her exclusion from the external genital club as being like a Jew at Christmas, upset because you don't have a tree with a shiny star on top. On the downside, those same external genitalia are known to leach the intelligence from men, leaving them vulnerable to April Fools jokes and the wily ways of evil feminists.

Sometimes, the really great men go unsung:
Judge Marrero, we salute you.

And that's why Monsanto has been quick to market with Roundup Ready v2.

Italy had a powerful military when Americans were crapping on the ground and worshiping buffalo.
How do you have a Telephony Museum and not have a Motorola RAZR flip phone?
As long as science is being done by human beings, it will be political.
See: "Economics".

Actual exchange:
I love political debate on Slashdot.
"You're holding it wrong."
Of course. Why would I change anything just because I had a prosthetic hand?
I wish I had a nickel bag for every time someone said Wikipedia has "jumped the shark".
"Ain't that a kick in the head?"
Maybe if I wanted to be a doctor, nurse, teacher, scientist or make it out of high school.
Yes, but to be fair, the Marshall Space Flight Center is working on developing a rocket to get them the fuck out of Alabama.
They skip sex education too, which is why this happened:
Since Charles Darwin died in 1882, I think you can say that they finally entered the 19th century.
Yeah, but their kids might not.
It's not like anyone's going to mistake any of the Republican candidates for scientists.
What about expecting the machines that humans make to be intelligent?

Also, I remember overhearing my dad talking about a guy with brass balls.
