Comment Re:Why the negative spin? (Score 1) 470

Its the article, not the OP, who's putting a spin on this. But I agree with you.

Open source is developed in very different ways than proprietary systems, and we should expect that they progress very differently as well. We expect top-down proprietary software to advance annually in solid leaps from version to version - any sidestepping or pussyfooting is seen as weakness. But the nature of open source is to fill in gaps and explore alternatives. The development of LibreOffice suggests to me that the movement has found a weakness in the openoffice approach and is rerouting. This is good news!

from the article: "People normally come into contact with phages through food, water and the environment, and they are found in our digestive tracts, the FDA said."

soooo... these are the same phages found in our stomachs? then its not so much a bad thing at all. is it? besides, the article also seems to indicate that only limited meats such as luncheon meats will be treated this way, as they typically are not cooked or reheated by the consumer.
