What I love is that the anti-GMO crowd is all about how bad herbicides are. Then they go on and freak out about plants that have been modified so that fewer herbicides are necessary.

Hey. I like this approach.

For everyone that believes GMO's are EVIIIIIILLLL, if they ever want a dog or cat for a pet they should only be allowed the choice to take a wolf or a tiger home....

You'll tip the boat over. Rock the boooooaaaat.

You can get everything that is in server and run it yourself on regular OS X and likely in a more flexible and customizable fashion.

Actually Google using a camel to get street views in the desert is kinda nerdy.

On the other hand PETA having a cow about google using a beast of burden to ya know do something considered burdensome is bullshit that should be ignored.

Crop yields down? Seriously.

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

This search returns pages of charts shooing increased crop yields (for states, the whole US, other countries) over time. In fact the big worry in farming in the US this year is the price of corn dropping precipitously because of a bumper crop.

Yep. This issue is pretty complex.

It may not be in then net's best interest to have FCC regulate the internet IF their regulations are as hamfisted and full of loopholes like their previous attempts have been. So the Republicans might the right there.

However, if the FCC actually had the balls to make the internet common carrier that would be the kind of regulation that is really needed to protect the net. If the FCC did that then the Republican position is all kinds of wrong.

As for the Democrats, if they want the first example of regulations listed, then they's be wrong as well. But if they want the second kind, then they'd be in the right.

Caveat, this it all of course IMHO.

Are you fucking kidding me?!?! The fucking story is about the behavior of walruses!!! The Zoooligist is the science expert you are looking for to put context to this story, not the climatologist!!!

Shit with these kind of stories, even the experts aren't allowed to be experts!

Yep, like I said, the solution is not perfect so it needs to be rejected.

I bet you hate nuclear power even more than natural gas...

I agree totally with your idea that nuclear should actually be replacing many types of power generation as well (even eventually natural gas).

Sooooo its something of huge mass that pulls things in like they're falling down a hole and it emits no light and therefore would appear to be black.

Why can't we call this thing a black hole again?

Yeah, funny that, how one of the countries that didn't actually sign the treaty is one of the only countries that met its targets.

But shhhhh we can't say this. Natural Gas is pushing out dirty coal for power generation, but its only a good outcome and not a perfect one, so it still needs to be attacked by environmentalists.

What I really loved about the recent climate rallies was how the solution presented was hardcore socialist/communist revolution and the rooting out of capitalism. As if the solution to Climate Change was to eliminate Capitalism and everything would be fixed.

Although, if thats the case I need someone to explain to me why one of the few countries remaining on the planet with a Communist system of government is also the worst polluting country on the planet. If the marchers are correct and communism is the way to salvation, then China should be an environmental paradise, right?

Here's a fix:

When the announcement that cuts were coming I made a comment on /. about how everyone at Microsoft would be looking over their shoulder wondering whether their job would be cut.

Howling responses insisted that no, the only jobs being cut were going to be in Finland and tied to Nokia.

Now we find out that jobs are being cut in Washington, Silicon Valley, and Fargo. Hmmm, thats a long way from Finland.
