Yes, but one actually happened in the real world and one was a comic book made into a movie. So if that's the basis of the argument, I will amend my original statement to 'Anonymous: Choosing to live in a world of fantasy instead of reality since the release of V for Vendetta'

Anonymous: Fighting to install a Catholic Theocracy since one of them watched V for Vendetta and didn't bother to do any research.

Syngenta? DuPont?

What you are referring to, is a court ruling years ago that upheld a decision that Monsanto is entitled to hold patents on a particular gene of a plant. The ramification of that decision is that it opens the door to a hypothetical situation that the Monsanto plant could spread to other farms and open the door to…

Their seed policy is a contract that farmers sign every year when they buy seeds... I fail to see the metaphor to a loaded gun.

Agricultural science, Monsanto at the forefront of it, has saved hundreds of millions of lives with their drought and fungus resistant crops. Monsanto is oft-vilified by those who have eaten most every meal of their life with ingredients bought from an air-conditioned supermarket.

Was also damn good at keeping bedbugs at bay... You listening NYC? As a guy whose building had bedbugs years ago, I'm just saying... we have no animal species worth saving here anyways. Buy some cropdusters. Let's go.

For the most part, its a matter of what other colors are in the scene. If there are naturally a lot of blue hues in the shot, then you use green, or you risk keying out stuff that you actually want in the picture. (Like if you've ever seen a weather report where the weatherman's tie has part of the weather map…

Original movie title: Cloverformers

I mean, not to point out the obvious here.... but it doesn't even do a good job approximating human speech. I'm not really sure what progress has been made since it's unveiling last year. It's more akin to a bagpipe than human speech.

I believe if you watch the original nyancat video on youtube, it DOES have it as the progress bar.

As has been mentioned in every discussion of rare earth metals, and will be again...

Holy crap, that looks like a girl I knew in high school - Sam, you have a source link better than the Reddit front page? Pretty please!

Pentax is expected to announce an APS-C sensor k-mount mirrorless system this fall.

The organizations to prevent massive-scale selling of equities are only a very, very recent creation, less than a year old. And they were only put in place after the system failed spectacularly, in a matter very similar to the BitCoin exchange - it was the May 2010 Flash Crash... a 10% fluctuation of what was…

Different transaction system... this is only involving trades of BitCoins for other currencies. Whatever goods or services you sold for BitCoins, you'll still have those BitCoins - those BitCoins might just be worth significantly more or less than the price you had in mind when you set the price.

There IS oversight - the shared processing that Bitcoin users volunteer their computers for in exchange for Bitcoins is crowd-sourced transaction validation. The stolen Bitcoins are just like stealing cash - there is very little a central authority can do to prevent it. Where the system breaks down is the size of…

This solution is worse than the problem. Mt. Gox getting to undo trades and re-peg the currency to a fixed amount undermines the entire concept of a decentralized market-rate currency.

Size comparisons without a lens attached are kinda a moot point no?

Because that looks like that.
