Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

It really is. They are also prevented from gathering their wasted seeds and re-using them. I don't understand the legal basis for that shit at all and it is fucked in half.
I think that is more of an effect of Monsanto's shitty corporate policy and less a direct result of patenting though.
which is my main problem with GMO crops
Cotton in the US is almost completely GMO, with very little controversy.
There would be no more papaya, at least not in Hawaii, if it weren't for GM papaya that are resistant to the ringspot virus.
Monsanto is run by dirtbags, but a lot of companies are not.
fair enough
one should not be able to create life, patent it, unleash it on the world, and then expect to be paid when your product escapes and becomes useful to someone else
it's a creation of such a fundamentally different character than anything else that is ever patented that it should have been looked at a little more carefully when the first applications came in
on one side of the argument you have: "commercial science will proceed at a moderately slower pace and won't be as profitable to a very few people" and on the other side you have all of the property law that already governs ownership of living things. If you've created a papaya resistant to a particular virus by genetic modification, are you really doing something qualitatively different than creating a new breed of domestic dog through selective breeding? Should Mendel have applied for a patent for his peas? No, because it's just silly to think you could have rights to something that is going to start mutating and evolving the moment you take your hands off it.

Their pricing structure probably takes wasted seed into account, so if they allowed re-using wasted seed they would just charge more per pound of seed so that they got the same amount of money per pound of expected yield. It would just be more work for everyone involved.

okay so
say you're in a situation where it is either die or get a donated kidney

No, that was Multivac.
...thank you?
I like you.
Fruit Loops are awesome.
Even though the pieces aren't fruit shaped anymore
They used to not be fruit shaped a long time ago.
What the hell though, when did they change it?

gimme some lunchideas
I bought what I thought was a fresh lemon smoothie today and it turned out the recipe was lemon, ginger, tomato and celery.
Thinking of going back. And poisoning the guy who made it.
2. Craig Venter is one step closer to being God, and I don't really mind at all.
3. I successfully convinced my mom that organ donation is okay. But I understand the superstition about having your body intact. I still don't want me or anybody in my family to be cremated.

but they better not sell it to some asshole wig company or something
I read Stiff! I know what they do!
Of course they're not going to turn your body into a wig.
If you're looking for a quality wig, you want horse hair, not Kuribo's shoe.
Your body will be turned into a potassium-rich wig paste.
I'll never eat another banana again! then their wig paste won't have the necessary potassium and I will have the last laugh
