It's what killed Steve Irwin, man.

Duh, it's 6,000 years old.

Unless you got in before the fear mongering (or any widespread awareness), or you invested millions (which would be stupid at any point), you didn't miss out on "literally millions of dollars."

How about you disconnect and then let us know if it's made your life better or worse?

Oh wait, you couldn't.

That's why I used it as an example of something that could be (but wouldn't be, as I said) engineered into other plants. I used that mainly as an example of why "GMOs are safe" is an overly-broad and uninformed statement.

Depending on the way organisms are modified, they certainly may remain safe, but some modifications may not be safe (imagine a plant modified to produce ricin, for example, not that they would engineer something so dangerous intentionally) and should be tested as scientifically as anything else. What is worrisome is the revolving door between Monsanto and the FDA (Michael R. Taylor, Margaret Miller) to streamline the release of these products and minimize or eliminate their distinct labeling, not in order to feed the masses but to feed Monsanto's bottom line. I believe most GMO products currently on the market are probably safe to eat, but I don't think the private company producing those products should be the ones to determine whether or not we require GMO testing and labeling.

GMO foods aren't unhealthy by default, but they certainly aren't "safe" by default either. When a chemical is introduced into a food for the first time (or the genes to produce that chemical within the food are introduced for the first time) that food should be tested as new rather than considered GRAS. Evolution has served as the test-of-time for genetic changes throughout history, and as we forego that, we certainly need to devise some testing of our own. That said, I think this is an important science that will allow mankind to feed our ever-expanding population.

I just have.. fifteen.. words to say to that..
Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism ... Act

I hate the Affordable Care Act too, but it doesn't even come close to that.

Actually, he was only elected once.

I'm not sure you'd get past "Hey baby, your colon..."

Inscribe it on a roll of papyrus!

Whether they realized it or not, adding four more 255-size fields (the same amount as signified by two hex digits, 0xFF = 255) would far more than double the number of addresses, it would square it. For example, if we're using 0.255.255.255.255 (~4.2 million) now, 1.255.255.255.255 would allow another 4.2 million, and 2.255.255.255.255 yet another 4.2 million. All together, 8 fields of values up to 255 would allow for a total of ~17,878,000,000,000,000,000 or nearly 18 quintillion addresses. IPv6 allows for the square of this value, up to ~319,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 319 undecillion addresses, clearly an overshot but with the bonus that all the :0000: ranges we are unlikely to fill for many years can be abbreviated as ::, such that FE80:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:3f57:FEFD can be abbreviated FE80::3f57:FEFD

While I agree that fast lanes should not be needed, just as they don't seem to be needed today (how many times the definition of the human eye does HD need to be, anyway?) it's important to understand that smaller countries can achieve faster internet speeds more easily due to their relatively small real estate. The number one factor affecting latency is distance, and the US has a lot of ground to cover.

That doesn't mean Comcast and TWC aren't still screwing us when they "do not compete against each other in any area" (direct quote).

Each row has a table in front where you can look over the menu and write down orders on a slip of paper, ushers (waiters?) will once, twice or possibly thrice sneak through the rows behind the tables, not making noise or getting in the way, extract upright slips of paper or return with your food / drink of choice. Not distracting at all, and makes for quite a pleasant experience. Perhaps why they've gone from an Austin-only establishment into a multi-state chain in just a few short years.

You've never been to Alamo Drafthouse. Each seat is serviced individually multiple times during the showing for their food/drink orders.

With Google Glass in its current iteration you couldn't even bootleg the trailers.
