I am sure paying these folk will get this Debian release out on time. Money always motivates people to work harder and faster.. and it always makes sure a deadline will be met...
What happens when all of the genetically engineered crops contaminate all of the natural crops and down the road we must rely 100% on big corporations to provide seed.. which of course likely requires a much more hefty fee than natural product? Natural seed being something that you cannot get sued for growing without permission, of course..
What happens when all of the natural species are wiped out by the GE stuff and we end up with a handful of varieties of plant that are only distinguished by their immunity to disease or compatibility with the designers insecticide instead of their taste, or beauty or longevity on the shelf? Only one kind of corn, only one kind of rice, only one kind of pea. Bring on the GE stuff, sounds like a much simpler world!
maybe the colorblind are not disabled, but, I would surely love to get some money from the websites I have been unable to read or navigate due to poor color choices!
I would be happy if I never saw one more tribble.. I'd be even more happy if I did not hear one more tribble joke!
Is this tribble episode popular because it is so outlandish? (MST3K fodder?)
It is not a shining example of what Star Trek means to society.... for that The Paradise Syndrome seems an apt choice
(40 years later it amuses me that most often mentioned episode seems to be the worst, Trouble With Tribbles.. I hope I am not remembered for my worst contributions to the world... )
Maybe it is just me? But I think there is a big difference between the privacy of my secrets or what is done behind closed doors and the privacy of my spending or buying habits.
I don't care how many people know whether I buy Kraft Mac and Cheese and a Playboy magazine every Thursday, it really doesnt matter to me.... tons of people buy that stuff and it really doesnt annoy me if people are tracking those habits and making money off of it..
I would be very bothered to find out people were reading personal notes I wrote on little scraps of paper hidden under my pillow or spying on me with video cameras in the shower/bedroom.. or tapping into my deepest personal fears..
(I like the Kraft Spirals Mac and Cheese best, I have never bought a Playboy.. I also prefer Oscar-Meyer Wieners to Ballpark Franks.)
darn kids and their internet thingy
I am sure some kids out there will intentionally avoid the recall just so they can record the ensuing explosion to post on the internet... this of course will get them on TV when their house burns down
kids these days!
