Ok, ill play by your rules.

So fare everyone supporting C has said it's more readable for "Experienced programmers" no definition of what more readable is, but by definition for a fair portion of programmers it will be less readable making it overall and on average less readable.

Anyway, I wouldn't give the proponents that. The minute you start playing around with features inherent to variable types and propertys of their conversions C gets to be a real pain to read.

I used Pascal in some college courses, and felt that my productivity went down by about 50% compared to C, just because of all the extra typing, and the reduced readability: begin using words for punctuation does not work as well as using punctuation for punctuation end

You felt Pascal was less readable than C ?

Your reading comprehension needs work, then. But I'll summarize: I was agreeing with you.

Well it's not my reading comprehension.

It's ridiculous to assume that the mechanisms of selective breeding, where the changes originate in random mutations -- often accelerated by the use of mutagens -- plus random viral- and bacterial-vectored transgenic splicing, is somehow safer than deliberately-engineered splicing.

You were comparing the same thing. The first bolded section lists common methods for achieving "deliberately engineered splicing"

Yanno, next time you are feeling pedantic ya might want to do a more thorough job of it.

However, in computer enthusiast circles in the late 20th century and early 21st, the non-standard viri form (sometimes even virii) was well-attested, generally in the context of computer viruses.[2]

I'd like to reply to the rest of your post but you didn't seem to say anything.

I refute the claims of the biotechnology companies that their engineered crops yield more, that they require less pesticide applications, that they have no impact on the environment and of course that they are safe to eat.

That's nice he ought to let the farmers know they can buy cheaper seeds and still do as well.

If it seems like I am laughing at these people and the Euros who seem to think it's in their interest to pay more for food, I am.

I googled for "GMO Hazards"

https://www.google.com/search?...

and out of the top 10 sites not one had actual problems that were caused by GMO foods

Lot of might and could be, but no actually. No "Killer corn ate my baby "

So How bout labeling foods that are produced from selective breeding genetically engineered as well ?

Would you like to try for more name calling ? Maybe you can shout Bushhitler a few thousand times, or just go around yelling winger winger, or something equally persuasive.
