If I recall, Schmeiser lost because the court didn't believe him.

I'm from that area of Saskatchewan. The farmers I talked to privately admitted that they didn't believe Schmeiser either.

I don't know rt.com, but it seems to tend toward the sensationalistic side.

For example, my 1 minute of browsing the site took me to the story "FBI might shutdown the internet on March 8", ( http://rt.com/usa/news/fbi-internet-server-servers-409/)

Maybe we should all be more worried about the internet disappearing than Monsanto's evil deeds.

If I had a voice in this, I'd vote for Stephen Hawking and Bill Nye.

Wait, do they have to be alive? If not, I'd vote for Einstein and Newton!

If anything, I would think that granting a higher percentage of patents is a sign of lower quality.

But then again, I also don't see more patents as a rise in the "knowledge economy" or globalization lead by innovation.

I'd recommend taking the tour of the first nuclear reactor to provide power for public use, "Experimental Breeder Reactor number one" in Idaho.I toured it a couple of years ago, and it's one of the few places you can see an actual reactor core, containment vessel, or reactor control room, especially one of the first ones.

I know that it has to be later in life, since I'm already 46, and I haven't even had mine yet.

I don't remember the NGC 1365. Who was it's captain and which series and episode did it appear in?

...they should contact Magrathea

I believe they have experience with this, but they're not cheap.

Sure, they want you to believe that it's 20 years old and born in Finland, but if that's true, why won't they make the birth certificate public?

Now, I'm not saying that it was necessarily created in the Soviet Union in the 60s as a communist plot, but you never know.

Regolith? Is that something like the monolith they found buried there about 10 years ago?

I have found that handling the anxiety comes with experience. For example, I no longer care if the rest of the business comes to a screeching halt.

Gotta watch your sleep hygiene!

Man, $160000 for an old Apple I? I would never pay that, especially since you can get a brand new Apple computer for slightly less.

I don't really care about Blender, but I would like to hear more about terrywallwork's issues reading his email.

For about an hour on Saturday, it was somewhat harder to launch about 50 nuclear missiles, making the world temporarily a teeny bit safer.
