Don't use too many fonts and embed them in css. The waiting time is roughly the same but the experience is better because you see all the styling at once.

I'm sorry, hardly ever had an issue with callback-based programming. If you're used to imperative, maybe the problem is that you're making a mess because you're adapting from a different style and complicating it with wo

The callback-based example is complicated for no reason other than to support your argument. This is how it translates: f(print);

Awesome tool! I had the impression it was less than that, but our mind can play these tricks. It seems a bit steep though, I'll compare it with other stories and see if I can find a correlation.

That's interesting. Can we have background information for these "moderators" that are given these god like abilities? We need to know who's deciding what we should be reading or not.

That makes sense and I understand it. However it seems way too artificial for me, because I was watching the Monsanto thread and it went from place 2 in the 1st page to the 3rd page in the span of a couple of minutes before anyone had a cha

No they didn't. Genetic modification is not the same thing as crossbreeding. And what they did always happened with regards and love for the environment. They produced crops that brought balance and harmony in nature so they always had fres

Since you seem to enjoy appealing to authority, I'll just leave this here for you to ponder on: "Η φύσις μηδέν μήτε ατελές ποιεί μήτε μάτην." -- Αριστοτέλης "Nature produces nothing imperfect nor in vain." -- Aristotle

Really? Ask for approval before planting a seed in the ground? You call that technology? Technology doesn't lock-in, it unlocks potential. Maybe ask for a commission then for the oxygen their GM plants produce. After all, it took billions t

By making their seeds more profitable, they are given an unfair advantage. People replace their natural seeds with GM that happen to depend on their pesticides and then forbid you to recultivating 2nd generation seeds. So they become depend

Give me unrestricted access to all of their documents and I will. Since that ain't going to happen, I can use my logical abilities to make a deduction: You seem to have a lot of pro-GM and pro-Monsanto information and came here ready to con

Hey penny500 how does it feel being Mr. Nobody? There's a Greek word for you. You're a "Φερέφωνο" or if you'd like the latinified version, a pherephon. Φέρε=Bring Φώνο=Voice. Translation: The one who mindlessly brings the voice of others fo

That's a good cause but will take ages before all nations adopt it, if they ever get everyone to agree. I was hoping for something I can start using right away.

The argument "making food cheaper for the poor" doesn't give you a pass messing with nature and people's health. I can make food cheaper by killing half of the population since there's going to be more left for the rest of us! Does this jus

Can we identify the products on the shelves that are of Monsanto origin and have a list posted somewhere so we can boycott them? I don't really feel like ever buying anything originated from that company.
