    Certain plants have certain parts that rely on being eaten, yes. These are called fruits.
    Other flowering plants rely on bees coming in for that sweet, sweet nectar.

    But eating the plant itself and not just those specific parts is something the plant likes to avoid because it's bad for the plant (and often kills it).
    Potatoes are no more designed to be eaten or to be nutritious than your own flesh is. Onions, garlic, etc. are specifically designed to be unattractive. We've developed a taste for them, however.

  6. Why do you think there's only one person posting the flavor of the month trolls?
    Someone writes up a troll and spams it on a few "articles". Other people see it and, if they like it, do the same.

    Someone's trying to make the "all women are wookies" one the next thing, but it's not gonna catch on. (Especially since he misspelled wookiees.)

    The cow troll is great, but people got bored of it and don't post it anymore. I posted it (and variations of it) myself because I enjoyed it, but I never posted it as AC.

  7. Re:Analysis of Star Wars: The Force Awakens on What the Future Fiction of 2015 Revealed About Humans Today (vice.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was basically a demake of the original Star Wars.
    It's not a shot-for-shot remake, obviously, and it's not a reboot. But it is basically the same fucking story and it's got tons of scenes and settings that are found almost identically in the original. Just like Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys, the new Star Trek films, and to a lesser extent Rocky Balboa.

    It's like a restaurant selling you a "deconstructed" burger. It's main selling point is that it's a burger, but they've gone and taken the burger you liked, separated the pieces, dressed them differently, and served them up in a manner that's foreign and undesired. It's neither the burger you're familiar with nor something worthy of being on the menu in its own right.

    Demakes are a fucking trend now, unfortunately. They have nothing in the tank to do a creative sequel but they know people are sick of remakes and reboots.

    Basically.

    Every decent peer-to-peer transfer thing for the past decade has been modeled off BT, and no one's really been enable to improve upon it in any real way in order to stand out.

    BitcoinXT would have its own block chain past the fork, and thus effectively have it's own network.

    By increasing the block size you fork the block chain and people can choose to stick with the original or go with the new, forked chain.
    Alternate block chain = alternate crypto currency, regardless of how many people join in.

    Ok. So cite us some examples of hardware that has been uncrippled EXCLUSIVELY through a software update.

    PS4 and XBONE have yielded more memory and CPU to developers to use for games through software updates.
    People routinely by 2nd tier CPUs and GPUs and flash the firmware in the hopes of unlocking extra cores or compute units that were disabled during binning.
    People used to unlock "locked" CPUs for overclocking with a modified BIOS.

  23. Re:Bitcoin is already "real for business" on IBM and Linux Foundation To Create Blockchain For Major Financial Institutions (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    The Bitcoin blockchain can already do this - it supports sending verified messages from one party to another.
    It's not well-suited to high volume high frequency transactions, however, because (currently) every true node needs a full copy of the block chain, and because Bitcoin mining is intentionally throttled. Getting transactions in quick means paying a fee (and you can bet the powers that be would die of shock if you told them they were expected to PAY a fee rather than collect one).
