A friend of mine has 20 bee hives on his property (Norther Europe). He has been doing this for over 20 years as a hobby and was also affected by various colony disorders from parasites to full on collapses. A few years back, he made an experiment and did not remove honey from the hives (it was a last resort). Surprisingly some of the colonies fully recovered. Anyhow, 20 hives is a very tiny data sample, but it does make you wonder...

What part of the country? $1-$2 is really low....Can you tell me who you use?

A few years ago, I was in the market for a simple html rendering engine for an embedded project. There were only a couple of options: webkit, presto and one more engine that I dont remember the name of. The licensing fees that opera wanted were astronomical and only the likes on Nintendo could afford it. Needless to say, I used webkit even though Presto was more desirable.

Anyhow, they should have open-sourced a few years back and snatched up a large portion of embedded market (which is actually quite big if you think about it)

8-10% is overly optimistic. Back in the 90's I wrote a business system for an intermodal shipping company and pretty much knew their system in and out. Most of the time these companies barely know whats being shipped....especially if the cargo went through multiple third parties. I have seen many manifests declared based on illegible bill of laidings that some trucker just dropped of. Nobody looks at the cargo if the weight and size matches.

I highly doubt many things changed since then...

One could argue that being oppressed and knowing it, is better than being too stupid to know that you are being oppressed. At least in the former case, you can still yell out loud: You can take my life but you will never take my freedom ;-)

You forgot the most important one: weapons

A while back I saw an episode of Through The Wormhole that showcased just that. A professor and couple of students were recording snapshots of their lives for the last 3 years. Snapshots, because that's how our memory works and a picture is all we need to remember things and of course you would run into storage issues with 24/7 video recording...

And this explains why majority of new phones don't have sdcards and only support MTP for file transfers to a PC.

I was just looking for hardware to replace my original xbox and run xbmc on it. OUYA seems better than anything that's available on Amazon or Newegg. The best thing that I found was the "official" hardware for xbmc (XIOS DS), but at $120 it more expensive and doesn't have a game controller.

For me the primary use will be xbmc, everything else is just a bonus....

If they come through and make this thing open to 3rd party development, this thing is going to be a big hit and will be around for quite a while....like my original xbox....

You forgot one thing: the doctor gets a cut from the pharm company for sales...I mean prescriptions.....

Or is getting into "consulting" in the near future....

Btw, the problem with GMO is not the gene modifications but rather what they allow us do afterwards. Roundup Ready == Nuke it from orbit. I don't want my corn tortillas in Roundup flavor...

Friends of mine were in the exact same boat. It's a situation without a solution. If the patient is force medicated, they are unable to function in day to day lives. If they get of the meds, it's just a matter of weeks until they land in trouble. The worst thing is, even here in California, there is virtually no State sponsored support for mentally ill people. Ultimately the solution was to send their son to Europe to spend the rest of his life in a live-in/half-way house mental clinic. It's not cheap, but it's a fraction of the cost of what it was here in the states (for a private institution) and based on his facebook updates, he lives a almost normal life.

Umm, isn't RoundUp ready corn resistant to Roundup and as such the farmer can spray this crap as much as he wants without killing the crop?

just add 'yet' to the end of your sentence.

Alcohol!
