As opposed to heresay and anaecdotal evidence, amirite?

Holy crap are you ever stupid. So how is posting lies that can be disproven with 10 seconds worth of goggling working out for you?

Asa businessman then, you understand the concept of risk vs reward. Oracle has proven it to be too big a risk for any marginal reward.

I get it, sometimes you need to put on a personae to stand out in the crowd, but that guy just comes off as some vain arrogant twat with more funds than sense. So who precisely is he, and why does anyone care?

We don't want to actually, you know, read the story anyways. We'd rather bitch about Uber or Taxis in general with no actual facts to back it up.

I believe that the chemical dependence is a far bigger issue than IP. While patented seeds do force the farmer to buy from them, they are in a far worse position when they depend not only on a toxic chemical, but also a seed whose only benefit is resistance to said toxic chemical.

Regardless, I respect your position and cannot disagree with it.

This article is going to further cloud the issue and I fear its going to give Monsanto and its ilk free reign to continue their abuse of the local seed supply. The issue has never been about GMO itself, its been about how GMO is used. Genetically modifying crops to produce more, be resistant to fungus, or have a longer shelf life is a net positive and is nothing more than a more advanced form of selective breeding. Its when you use it to introduce resistance to toxic chemicals that you start to have a real problem. That resistance not only allows to overuse of toxic chemicals (to the point of saturating the local environment), you also introduce a form of addiction where the farmer becomes dependent on the chemical. This addiction dooms the farmer to a form of indentured servitude and will eventually result in their exiting the market due to unsustainability.

I was about to post the same question. Sounds like the submitter wasn't a fan of the movie. A 76% "Fresh" rating on rottentomatoes is nothing to sniff at.

At work, we finally transitioned away from KDE when we upgraded to RHEL6, due to the poor implementation of KDE4. Gnome, for all its warts, works and works well. Hell, even on RHEL7 if you run gnome in classic mode it retains its simplicity and most importantly a lack of support issues which KDE was notorious for.

We can't be the only ones who had challenges with KDE, so how is it still even relevant?

Gotta catch them all!

They'll let you set up your booth and start selling your wares, but out of nowhere they'll just up and take over, thinking they can sell your pop and water better.

I expect to see a lot of anti vaxx outrage and legal challenges, but this is a good first step.

Said no one ever. And who owns Packard Bell now? The company that thinks they'll outlive them all.

THEY ARE NOT FUNNY.

If its on the fringe, and the price is dropping, that is not what a sane person would consider as "thriving".
