And that technology should be patented. The genes themselves however...not so much. You are confusing the technology with the resource. The man who patented the first internal combustion engine didn't get to slap a patent on petroleum. It no longer takes hundreds of millions of dollars to...

Ya the delay in getting Golden Rice on the market and reducing Vitamin A deficiency in tens of millions of people rests squarely on the shoulders of the knee jerk, hippy retards.

So i gotta bro that's gonna sell me his Minolta maxxum 5D for $200 and loan me some lenses for the summer. Sound like a good deal and a good newb friendly camera?

What you linked says it OPENED UP its seed sector to Big Ag, it still doesn't say it FORCED the farmers to make the switch. It seems to me if the farmers don't like it then they should go back using old fashioned farm saved seeds, and i see no evidence that they aren't being allowed to do that...

What i get from that article is that the real problem is subsidies. The rest of the article was obviously biased and inflammatory. I need to see some evidence that the indian farmers are being forced to buy hyper inflated monsanto seeds with no option to buy or raise normal farm seeds.

Well to be fair, lateral gene transfer is a real thing and is the basis for recombinant DNA technology. I seriously doubt it would lead to the end of all life on Earth, but it definitely seems like it falls under the 'better safe than sorry' category. Forty years ago, invasive species weren't...

So much this. You just can't have a bunch of farmers out there throwing around glyphosate resistant seeds willy nilly. Especially on these huge monoculture farms. The overuse of roundup ready seeds has created a new breed of roundup resistant weeds. This spirals into even more reliance on...

But it metabolizes into methanol and methanol is BAD for you!

OP, were you on shrooms or acid when you wrote that?

That last episode was amazing. Best thing i've seen on TV since Walt blew Gus' face off in Breaking Bad.

So if I want to cite a Lithose post, how does that work? I'm not able to find that in my Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed.

Seperate entirely

In the span of a couple posts, Lithose just made me a little more conservative and pragmatic by using logic, reason and his own thoughts. Something that Merlin, bmizzle, and the rest of the conservatard crew couldn't do in 2000 posts by regurgitating right wing talking points.

What difficulty are you playing on? What civs you play with? What SPs are you opening with? The best basic strategy is a basic 4 cities, full tradition open. You should be shooting to get 4 cities up by turn 60ish with the National College built by turn 80/90. The best way to get those...

God damnit I guess I'll drop my idealistic, isolationist fantasies. Lithose dropping knowledge bombs again, actually making me reconsider my position. I don't have to like it though!

Disappointed. Thought the thread was OldTittiesworth revisiting.

Let's be real, the reason things are getting progressively worse for the middle and lower class is because an entire political party actively opposes any and all solutions that they can't get credit for. A lot of Obama's positions are actually more in line with the Republicans of the 80's and...

Excited to see they are tweaking culture and adding international trade routes. And new wonders and civs are always fun. I play on a crappy $300, two year old laptop and just play on strategic view. it's not pretty, but I don't play Civ games for pretty.

If you haven't won before giant death robots you are doing something wrong. I like to play Ghengis Khan for domination victories. Keshiks and khans are crazy good. Best time I've had with the mongols was 258 turns at Emperor difficulty. If I'm going science or diplomatic victory, Babylon...

You should always be demonstrating your value in every situation.

Wow that's amazing. If I could one shot that good for the whole trip I'll be pleased. And thanks for the replies bros.

please

Really bros? Is this really necessary? This kinda shit is embarrassing. Protip: piling on is a sign of weakness...Act like you've been in the end zone before. Jesus.

Bros, I just accepted a 9 week summer internship at the Flathead Lake Biological Station in Montana and will be doing a lot of work outdoors throughout the Flathead watershed and Glacier National Park. My question is what's a good user friendly, beginners camera setup for a total newb. I will...

Sigh. Inductive reasoning is based on probabilities. Those probabilities are based on sound experimental designs and observations. Technically I guess you can say if something is only a 98% probability then its not proven. Obviously stating that all life forms on Earth are carbon based and...

You hear about Si so much because it is more chemically similar to C than any other element. They are both tetravalent, i.e. four valence shell electrons, which gives them their extreme versatility. However Si is a little less reactive than C due to its extra orbital and decreased...

I think expecting life on an Earth like planet to not evolve using just about the same building blocks is like expecting water to not be wet on a different planet. It probably won't use the exact same 20 amino acids that we use to build proteins, but will still probably follow the Central...

Ya. I just want to live long enough to have some sort of alien life confirmed, even if its just some bacteria eking out a living 10m below the surface of Mars. The similarities/differences in the microbiology will be endlessly fascinating and will answer ALOT of questions about the origins of...

The next one will probably have some sort of sequencing equipment. But honestly, the odds of an alien life form using the exact same 4 nucleobases as DNA/RNA on Earth seems pretty slim, so I'm not sure how helpful any kind of sequencing/PCR/electrophoresis techniques would be. Maybe the next...

You realize that looking at single celled micro organisms isn't as simple as just 'looking at it under a microscope' right? There's almost always a staining and fixation treatment that has to be done first, and all of the known staining techniques still only work on a fraction of microbes here...

I know bro, but this is the interwebz, everyone's a bro. I don't have sexy time with bros btw. How dare you.

Here, they are. Bro.

Sounds like she is gonna give it up soon. Probably has a 3 or 4 date rule that she sticks to in order not to feel like a sloot. No big deal, sounds like you are still having fun on your dates. good luck bro

Hah hah, no worries bro, i don't think I overused it THAT much.

So I woke up this morning with a massive hangover and decided to carpet bomb the Nic Cage/Nickleback question. It's really worked well, got two solid leads with a couple of fairly cute milfs with very large titties. Already got both of their numbers and am trying to line something up for...

That's really cool.

That's pretty good, im gonna use that next time I get a chance.

lol

Do you mean interpreting?

I can definitely agree with this sentiment. When I first started the online dating thing, I went with the tried and true cocky, smartass tact. It worked great, I was banging 2 or 3 different girls every month until I got a decent stable of no-commitment booty calls going. After a few...
