Remember folks political organizations many times employ people based on politics. The big loss here will come from the inevitable law suit from this guy on the state, the department and the the guy personally. You know no pain until you get humiliated in a pretrial deposition hearing where there are no limits to the outrage they can pull on you oh and yes in civl court there is no 5th amendment, just answering the questions they ask, failure to do so is contempt of court.The real losers arent the litigation participants so much as the tax payers of Florida that will be on the hook, win or lose for the court costs.

Iregardless of what Monsanto has done to the wheat, guess what, wheat is a hybrid, grass, oates, rye and barley and its been around for 5000 years. Ya, a 5000 year old GMO, not done in petri dishes but still a geneticaly modified food, and we've been eating it since mesopotamia was an on going concern. There is nothing natural about wheat, so why is this more recent gmo such a panic? Also on a side note, I suspect it came from an old stock that didnt get returned to monsanto in 2000 and the adjacent road to the field it was found in, it probably was the one to the local garbage dump.

We'll go back to the moon when there is an economic reason to go, I honestly suspect there will be some one there in 12 years, probably an Elon Musk funded venture. let the flame wars begin, ;P

no no, your comms are secure pay no attention to the crypto geek behind the curtain

posibly true, also food for thought, so is there skype replacement? Anyone??

I agree his suprise roll changes are why I went to linux mint, it shouldn't be about him but about the operating system, Ubuntu has a lot going for it, if the centralized control would lighten up.

Sadly yes and Cannonical does have to pay people to support Ubuntu, however I don't like or use Amazon, I never trusted Amazon and will never use them unless someone puts gun to my head! That said I think this is a marketing mistake and it will boomerang right up the side of canonicals head and further drive disgruntled ubuntu users like I used to be to mepis or Linux mint

Yup you called it dead balls ons, I'll go one step further, I predict they will start selling off the non-profitable divisions and herniate the company cash wise, then I foresee HP being bought and sold for scrap at some point in the next 10 years. I don't believe huge monolithic organisations are the way to go and this is an example of one of the poorest run of those ( I'm an ex HP employee). HP's time is on a count down to no where, and yes it is sad, but I think it needs to happen.

Lets put the control of this idea in the hands of the people touting Intelligent Design must be considered a viable alternative to evolution,,,. Surprised, you shouldn't be those same people are the reason we had the death trap known as the space shuttle in service for so long. NASA is controlled by these freaks and you and Neil deGrasse Tyson want to double their budget??? Hmm a losing track record for the last 3 decades and you think blowing more money on NASA will fix this? Seriously, No it won't, we'll just waste more money, and still get no where. What you fail to see was the long lost greatness that was NASA was from a time of greatly more friendly budgetary realities of that day and not this day and age. While I will agree it was a great catalyst for technology that has spawned the ability to even respond to you on this website, don't kid yourself for one moment that by looking backwards that you're somehow looking ahead. The only way we will ever achieve our greatness will be when NASA is out of the Equation and privately funded science programs funded by private institutions and by donations lead the way. With out thought, if you were to create a private organisation to attempt this I personally would pony up $500.00 to that cause, but I will offer you nothing if you keep bowing in deluded prayer to the evolutionary dead end known as NASA!

yeah lets make it official, loose lips blow OPS, Way to go Hilary!

yes, the cars would slide off

their not funnies they're punnies

Riiiight,,,,?

Welcome Back from the DEAD Project PLUTO, except with out the nuclear powered ram jet, yeah google it I dare ya.

Yesterday and had 3 people online with video and it worked fine, the problem with Skype Linux and windows is you sound like Mickey Mouse being hammered with a bat in the crotch when you don't have enough memory and horse power under the hood. When I upgraded to a 4 core all my linux/skype woes went bye bye also all the glitches you get on Linux side are all featured on the windows side as well.
