No one is telling these people they can't save their seeds from these crops. GMO does not necessarily mean that it is "closed source" and owned by the company that made it. That is just how big agriculture businesses like Monsanto operate. There is nothing indicating that will occur in this case.

GMO just has a stigma in that some people believe that they have hidden health side effects. The Monsanto lawsuits against farmers is another thing entirely. There are plenty of GMO crops out there besides the "Roundup Ready" seeds you are referring to.

Is anyone else disappointed that the "presidential" beer recipe is an extract recipe instead of all grain?

Agile/Scrum is nothing new in other industries. I work in the engineering consulting business. We often have teams of 100+ engineers from multiple disciplines working on one project. When my programmer buddies explained what scrum was, it was very similar to the methods we use to run projects.

Making pure silicon requires alot of energy; however, the actual byproducts of the process are harmless salts.

The intermediate chemicals get re-distilled over and over. Silicon dioxide and salts are the two main waste products.

Investors haven't found value in FB either. Watch it continue to plummet

How the f*ck do they work?!!?

How is this different than the current trend of deciding what facts to publish and what to ignore?

I would see this as a threat to journalistic integrity only if there was such a thing anymore.

If he had enough money to buy a Mac (see pic), he probably has money to throw away for the damages.

This is why I don't trust most UK media outlets. I have seen too much of this drivel from the Register.

You will probably never see this in practice in any large scale semiconductors because of two reasons: 1. There is already an established process and infrastructure to refine silicon. 2. Mo costs more due to rarity and does not have a well established industrial process to refine it. As it stands, it is incredibly expensive and requires large amounts of energy to refine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon#Purification Mo being rarer to begin with will have a higher material cost, and will also probably be that much more difficult to refine. I am not sure what processes there are to distill/refine Mo into the superpure state needed for semiconductors, but I cannot imagine that there are established processes that can handle the worldwide demand for semiconductors.

Here's a buzzword for you that is applicable in this situation: Crowdsourcing Put the internal paperwork the government has received on an easily accessible website (or wait for Wikileaks to do it). This spill received enough attention and affected enough lives that the general public would be interested to see what is going on and do there own investigations of the facts. There are plenty of professionals in manufacturing design and control systems design that would be more than willing to give some of their own time to read up on some of the facts. I would personally like to see the cause and effect tables and their alarm database for the rigs control system/SIS system. I would rather see for myself than take a journalist's word for it.

RTFA. They aren't targetting video traffic specifically. They are targetting L3 as a whole. It just happens that Netflix is the reason that L3 traffic is spiking due to the huge usage in the U.S. Essentially, Netflix pays L3 for content delivery. This results in a huge spike in content delivery from L3 through to Comcast. Comcast now charges L3 for the extra content delivery because they do not have an agreement with Netflix, but an agreement that needs to be updated with L3.

Actually, if you have been paying attention, they refuse to fix the issue for their consumers. A case/bumpers have been shown to fix the issue, yet they have not given them to consumers. Since it is a hardware problem, I do not see what more they could do.

Quality procedures force those in my office to keep a record of their hand markups. We need to be able to document all of the checks that took place to get a document out the door...hand marked, initialed, and dated. Then, when we kick something up for approval to go out the door, I need to print out fresh copy. Project managers also like their own hard copies to look at. Basically, although I may not have a problem looking at documents on my computer, those responsible for the overall project do.

It's all on the passenger in my opinion. I believe taxis in New York are just like those in Chicago where there is a poster showing the rates and rules. Any passenger can easily tell if they are getting overcharged by checking the meter against the poster. The only people who might get exploited are the totally hammered people going from bar to bar. In which case, the extra 4 dollars is about half the cost of a drink...so it doesn't really matter much in the long run. When I am totally hammered in a taxi, I don't really care how much they charge me as long as I get there.
