I thought it came with a copy of "Let's rip off snobs"

Flawless analogy.

$300 less on something that has no practical use.

I beg to differ, he did the right thing (which is not always equivalent with the legal thing to do, remember the underground railroad?). Had he gone with this only to senators he most certainly would have being ignored (Do you think the U.S. Congress didn't knew about this?) and possibly would be sleeping in Guantánamo.

Didn't knew that 4% of Slashdot users were NSA spooks.

No, is your close-mindedness, proneness to be offended and bigotry what makes you lambs.Religious people demand respect while condemning other who not share their views to hell (literally), is painful to live in a world where the most rational opinion on things we have no way to figure out is the only one that is politically correct to make fun of.

Actually I saw a documentary once about a company (might be this same one) that was doing research and growing algae in vertical, transparent plastic tubes, that sounds space efficient. About the food source, what about organic waste of human populations (food waste, crap, etc)?

Agree, best nerd joke on slashdot 2013. :w :q

I like Megatokyo, but to be fair than same comparison would show much more significant changes in any other webcomic, even in XKCD.

While I agree with you that most of the anti-GMO movement are just the usual granola smoking paranoid bunch (and since I'm a liberal, a vegan and an environmentalist I know that bunch quite well, some of them are even my friends), and that the technology holds promise to mankind, that doesn't mean that all criticism to Monsanto's is unscientific and pure fear mongering. Round up is toxic to ocean's photosynthetic life (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10646-009-0446-7#page-1 I offer a link of just one study, not because you cant' use google, but because the last time I said this here someone told me it was not backed up by facts, which is of course epistemologically impossible so I offer science) and their GM tech allows to spray it indiscriminately cause it won't kill the crop, and this is an issue in an already very troubled ocean environment.

Tough I'm not pro Israel, much less pro Islamism or pro U.S. (I'm a pacifist you see? I can't support any gun wielding wackos) I wanna make clear that the vast majority of modern (and ancient for that matter) nations were created by force.

Well, they do a pretty lousy job in not letting the unfair advantage thing.

Whoa whoa, what have to do those guys in ALF with the rest of monsters you list here? They wouldn't hurt rabbits nor human beings.

Jewish organizations already have the backup of one terrorist group: The U.S. army.

Besides, prison in the Nordic countries seems to be not half as bad as in the rest of the world. That doesn't mean he should go to jail tough. Piracy (copy right violation) should be a misdemeanor, not a crime.
