"What? Bananas aren't genetically modified even though they are sterile."
They had modification done, just not directly to the genes themselves, but via selective breeding. Go watch Alton Brown's particular episode on it, I think the show was called Good Eats. The original banana had large seeds, about the size of Buckshot.
It's still a pressure-based modification, not direct.
You don't see it because you don't know that a large majority of companies you see selling plants are really just microdivisions of the same larger parent corporation.
So while you have the illusion of a choice the sad reality is that you don't have a choice at all.
"Potato plants are at even less risk of outcrossing because they are propagated clonally"
Not always. I always carry a stock of true potato seed. Guess what caused the blight in the first place? Lack of genetic diversity and natural selection.
Looks like where the poster above slept through biology, you slept through history and critical thinking. You apparently slept through biology as well, as potatoes are nightshades and spread pollen like wildfire with their particularly light and fluffy pollen.
This was covered in a/. story within the past two weeks. new fluid dynamics showed that the core data we were using was unreliable because the lower layer was still in motion during the freeze.
The source is in this site, I don't bookmark everything.
Ice core data has been found to be wildly inaccurate because of new fluid dynamics uncovered. That throws out a HUGE amount of 'history' and forces everyone back to the drawing board.
Hi, this is supposed to be a geek site. As in we should (in theory) be keeping up with technology if you wish to keep the moniker.
And since my statement seems to not make any sense, I can only assume you lack the critical thinking skills to extrapolate what I've said, or you've never been exposed to Aesop's fables. That wouldn't be surprising since most people with UIDs as high as yours got the shit end of the US educational stick as you graduated in the late 1990s and early 2000s, nothing more than drones.
How is the guy wanting infrastructure in a position to know if the other company's infrastructure is what he needs if he has no experience with infrastructure at all? he won't know if they're doing right or wrong.
Remember, marketing is 99.99999999% bullshit. They're not going to tell you the truth if they can help it.
"Get someone with experience hosting e-commerce web sites and shops, especially if you're selling a widget. If you're selling a service you'll need something more basic but which can handle a large number of views and basics like email forms for inquires. Point is, if you're expecting "millions of hits" this is not a do-it-yourself project."
Slashdot hasn't managed to bring my website down yet, nor 4chan and their pitiful LOIC.
Certainly didn't take me much to figure out how to do that - don't rely upon other people.
The old adage goes - if you want something done right, do it yourself.
"LOL, so you've never called in an outside contractor for ANYTHING?"
I don't know how you managed to extrapolate that nonsensical statement from what I said, is English your primary language?
My parent company is a full in-house production company. Yes, we do happen to do everything. If we have a need for a skill, we simply hire someone with that skill and get them to work.
It saves a ton of money and ensures that we get competent people.
No, he's saying that a man that obviously hasn't mastered building his own infrastructure is nowhere near qualified to be asking someone else to be the infrastructure for him.
It is also pretty obvious that the Submitter never bothered to do any basic research on cloud services, otherwise he'd have never posted this question in the first place.
It's just as susceptible. You just have ERROR CORRECTION.
However, you run into a problem.
At least with an analog signal, if there's signal degradation, I still get a fairly usable picture or video until snow fucks it up beyond repair.
'Digital,' you drop more than a few bits and your error correction data gets lost along with the frame and guess what? YOU GET NOTHING AT ALL or you get a picture that's absolutely corrupted. There's no in-between where it could be considered acceptable performance.
And let's not get into the frame lag issues and longer tuning times on 'digital' OTA signals. Fuck that's annoying.
The biggest reason they went digital was for the purpose of controlling you to implement protection schemes, not for quality or bandwidth reasons.
Light is an analog waveform. So is an electrical pulse. So is a radio wave.
Digital, what a lie. It's best to call it pulsed analog, because that's EXACTLY what it is.
"IE 9 has the most security out of box than any browser to date"
Nope. Lynx. You can't infect something that doesn't support your attack vector, and never will because it's simply not capable of using them in the first place.
Notice you didn't say "THAN ANY OTHER WINDOWS BROWSER TO DATE."

These are likely not so bad without exposure to Adobe and Java.
Let us be honest for once.
This was covered in a /. story within the past two weeks. new fluid dynamics showed that the core data we were using was unreliable because the lower layer was still in motion during the freeze.
The source is in this site, I don't bookmark everything.
Ice core data got ruled out just recently.
What's the next thing we're going to claim to understand and find out that we're entirely wrong?
"Multiple teams have confirmed global warming."
Ice core data has been found to be wildly inaccurate because of new fluid dynamics uncovered. That throws out a HUGE amount of 'history' and forces everyone back to the drawing board.
So no, there's no confirmation at all.

Why not? I run every aspect of my business from property maintenance to product specification and design.
Why can't they?

"Don't use MS products if you want to scale."
Never heard of Azure, have you?
While I hate MS, guess what? It actually scales.
"all you need to do is just ask the /.'ers here to take a look at your web site and test it for vulnerabilities. Your system will go down in seconds!"
Last time I asked /. to do that they failed MISERABLY in getting my system offline or to even lag.
Can't trust /. anymore for decent advice or testing. The majority of them know nothing about technology beyond the LOIC anyways.

It is also pretty obvious that the Submitter never bothered to do any basic research on cloud services, otherwise he'd have never posted this question in the first place.
"Uh, he specifically wants to spend more time on developing and not worrying about the hosting part."
Considering the problems cloud services have had this past year, he's sorely mistaken if he thinks he'll be spending more time developing.
The cloud was not even viable for our small business - not reliable enough, and the people running the cloud are just about as clueless.
Watching Reddit go down hardcore because of cloud failures was even more of an eye-opener.
If you can't be responsible for every part of your business, you don't need to be in business, PERIOD.
Explain every other camera maker claiming 5MP actual 8MP interpolated
You better believe interpolation is in imaging.
That's not a katana. That's a piece of shit stamped metal blade likely forged from 4210 leaf spring off of a truck, it's not even folded steel.
This is a real katana and THAT is what the blade should look like.
Hasn't run on 7x64 for me, yet.

You mean you don't BY DEFAULT sandbox every non-OS program?
LOL
The U3011 is an LCD dumbass.
Which clearly shows you don't know what you're talking about.
I love how you say it works on all browsers, implying that all browsers are graphical and not text-based.
No wonder you posted as AC, with as wrong as you often are!
