“Believe”?

Going to give Cargill and 3M a pass? What about Syngenta?

For the record, corporate ownership of sterile hybrids has been a technology in place for at least a century and possibly longer. You really ought to take a closer look at the labels on the ornamental or vegetable plants that you buy.

As a geneticist looking to break back into the business of world domination, is there any way you can get me a networking opportunity? I hear that she is a hard charger, has a biting wit, and a killer instinct for aggressively resolving dynamic situations.

I see this more as a celebration and an effort to highlight particular groups within the diversity of what is available. They were always there (and they have always fought!), but sometimes didn’t get the attention they might have deserved. I do not truly see this as any different than a special issue dedicated to AI…

Yes. War is terrible, and there were horrors all around. The “lesser powers” like Poland or the Philippines found themselves the battlefield where the other “great powers” fought, and they suffered for it. As the charts above show, all we can do is remember and insist: never again!

Thanks for the spelling correction, and condolences to your grandmother and all who endured such atrocities. It is my hope that we will carry their memories forward, and that no one shall ever have to witness such horrors again.

Ugh, yeah - I almost mentioned their efforts at bacteriological warfare both as a tool of ethnic cleansing and as a denial of area weapon when being forced to retreat.

I did not know that. I would hope that at the very least they closed the “comfort camps” to service soldiers that my friend’s grandma had endured. I also hope that American soldiers were not randomly shooting the locals for target practice the way the Japanese did to the “inferior” Koreans.

You’re not being a jerk, you’re just being specific. I’d happily talk about my years in Singapore, angry Malaysians my folks knew in the Peace Corps during the sixties, or Vietnamese, Cambodians, or Thai folks whose grandparents all still vividly remembered the utter brutality of the Japanese occupation.

I didn’t think anyone forgot the Rape of Nanjiang or the endless atrocities inflicted on civilian populations. Maybe the impact is not as culturally resonant in the United States, but Southeast Asia? They all remember. I had a Korean buddy whose grandma was horrified his parents owned a Sony television and bought him…

Maybe I’m a masochist, but I really liked Battletoads. I memorized all of those bike levels and had the timing down - but it was a brilliantly tight challenge. I could never look away from the screen, and forget blinking or breathing! It was an intense joy to survive the gauntlet, and I take pride in having made my…

You know, technically Event Horizon IS a remake of Solaris...

Thank you for this. It was literally the first thing I saw when that meteor whizzed past the globe.

Maybe she recognized one?

Is there a way to tweak gamepad support in? I’ve been playing it with mouse and keyboard, but this is the first time in almost fifteen years, and I have really lost my touch.

Keep your tip up and remember that you can slash; rapier has more in common with sabre.

Are you excluding the artificial intelligences like Fred Saberhagen’s Berzerkers, the BOLOs, or the Terminators as "unliving"?

Cuban people are still just people. Please recall that not everybody working for or with the government is truly onboard with the viciously repressive aspects of that government. The bureaucracy proceeds and life goes on no matter who is in charge. Failing that, kindly recall that even a monster like Hitler loved his…

I came here solely to make this comment and am glad to see that I am not alone!
