bad form, I know, replying to myself - Thousands of clones really only = about 200 clones surviving then dying upon transport to other greenhouse environments. We've done cloning for years in this crap ass greenhouse, and it's still been used for many oddball and important projects, even after the school turned city and voted (and failed) to close the greenhouse down.
I used to help teach (as a student that already knew the entire Hort. Sci course from last year) and we did loads of amazing things. That corpse flower was one of our luckiest btreaks, although since I left I don't think we have that anymore, I think they moved to doing less smelly carnivorous plants (like Venus Flyraps which would LOVE that crap soil they use there at Kirby High.)
we were responsible for thousands of clones of the same plant, so it was really no big deal.
And the plant is NOT as rare as it's made out to be, although the HABITAT is endangered.
Clones of these plants are ungodly hardy. We've put it in soils of below 5.5 pH and it loved it, whereas most plants would die off. It doesn't seem to care about ANYTHING and is adapted to many, many environments. I have a cousin of it growing in my indoor garden (granted it's not endangered or even threatened) but this thing still stinks to high heaven.
Given the cycle of life for these plants, low numbers seem almost appropriate. It's the habitat, not the species, that we need to save.
McCain had the honor and integrity and dropped out of the race.
The only gripe left is software patents, which may be null and void soon enough since slashdot doesn't seem to care reporting about it (with my list completely open to every topic.)
When it blooms, there will be NOBODY in that building to CARE.
We had one of those at the Kirby High Greenhouse. Right as it bloomed we had to get pictures of it and kill it off, because the stench was so bad it hit the cafeteria on the other side of school, and students were puking.
I feel sorry for the guys that have to deal with this, even once every six years!
Considering some types of radiation are not affected or phased by solid materials, it would make sense that in order to deflect it you'd need to create some sort of EM interference, since the radiation exists somewhere in the EM spectrum.
My question is when is someone going to try to patent it? It's a little too obvious to me, and I really have NO experience in the field, so I don't think the idea itself could be patented.
Maybe the designs that accomplish the job, yes. But the idea itself? Let's hope one doesn't try to patent it, since it's really the ONLY method available for radiation protection in this day and age.
Which us PC users have done for a couple of decades now. Let's see, Blu-Ray doesn't even come CLOSE to Hard Drive speeds.
The idiots that modded me down to zero are just that - idiots. There's not *ONE* consumer optical drive, hell there's not even ONE COMMERCIAL optical drive that can outperform a platter HDD in ANYTHING. HDDs have the higher throughput, better seek times, better random access times.
"We haven't had long enough with NXE to gauge how much of an improvement installation is over playing off the disc"
This is further proof that Microsoft people have NO CLUE. Hard Drives are magnitudes of order faster than optical media, at least for random access. GTA4 on PC, no problem. On the PS3 and XBox360, I've seen it stutter and lag trying to keep up with what's going on.
Some clients are simpler, and I'm sure ChatZilla is easy enough for some corporate person to look at, figure out how it works, change it up some so it simply connects on loadup to the servers and channels. And since Firefox is on Mac/Linux/Windows, it'd be trivial to implement.
From there, it's just typing your message in a bar and hitting enter, and reading. It's the same as a bunch of people in one AIM chat window, just a different viewing screen and different protocol.
I have yet to see a reliable working UnrealIRCd server hack.
As long as they didn't use mIRC and kept their IRC network completely internal (kinda tough to do without some VPN connecting to the other 30+ locations plus password entry into channel (or an allow list) they shouldn't have too much of an issue.
And of course IRC does have SSL connection capability.
I can hear frequencies above 25kHz. Just ran another test and so far I'm able to easily hear 28kHz tones. Get to about 30kHz and it's just pressure in my ears, no tone.
First rule of trying to hurt a corporation - CLASS ACTION DOES JACK SHIT.
You organize a massive rush of civil suits for maximum allowed penalties in small claims courts across every state. Lawyers GENERALLY aren't even allowed in small claims, so that puts them at one disadvantage. Second, with sufficient influx of civil suits, EA would be helpless to defend itself because there's no logistical way they can reliably represent themselves in every case, thus being forced to pay up for failure to show (automatic finding for the plaintiff.)
Class Action = Lawyers get paid, cost of business. Nothing truly of value has been lost.
Multiple individual civil suits in small claims = Customers getting paid back directly, EA's out money, plus they get one of the biggest possible PR disasters with all that legal attention. More customers see the money, they start filing their own suits, this snowballs into a massive shitstorm and EA's left BROKE trying to defend itself.
See, while corporations and their allies can sue individuals into the ground with their vast riches, they have a much, MUCH harder time defending themselves against multiple smaller attacks. Just like an army, they can only fight on so many fronts before they lose ground and start losing BIGTIME.
Looks like the moderators on this discussion forum disagree with everyone but you, homer. You lose. We know far better than you and plasmacutter's economics of bullshit.
It's just that simple. If we could, we'd kill every banker and go back to a "If you ain't got it, you can't have this" attitude in economics.
Because seriously, your FAKE MONEY BASED ON WHAT'S OWED IS BULLSHIT.
Quit bankrupting your own customers, as they add further legal strain on our already strained legal and welfare systems.
We can't keep bailing you AND The People out.
Either learn from this, or get ready to start facing armed revolution from unhappy Americans.
I'm one of those with a gun and living right next door to you - so think about that. I may rent out "Watching space" on those buildings.
yea yea, ITG. I got the criminal record. I'm not scared to kill someone to save a bunch of people from being fucked in life. Welcome to the world of fair play, even if I get nailed, YOU'RE DEAD, YOU CAN'T DO SHIT WHEN YOU ARE DEAD.
Remember that, RIAA/MPAA assholes. No satisfaction beyond the grave, even if you DO believe in reincarnation or a second life or afterlife. DEAD IN THIS WORLD MEANS YOU ARE USELESS.
In fact the NBC and Fox News offices are within sniper shot of my own balcony.
Okay, if we need to start producing, then I guess the first thing we'd better do is pull all those jobs from India, yes?
Personally I think current 'economics' is a big heaping pile of shit. Debt-based currency, BAH.
If you ain't got the goods, you ain't got shit. THAT'S *PURE* economics. It's the ONLY kind that should even be allowed. It's stable in prisons, it's stable in the black market, it's stable in the world of drugs, it's stable in the trading of raw materials.
What you people study apparently isn't working, so I'd suggest you give it up.
What did you disable to get those times? I SAID "DEFAULT VISTA INSTALL" and running on a Quad Core with 8GB of RAM and a 1GB 9800GTX+ Vista should HAUL ASS - it doesn't.
I'm still watching 45-80 second boot times. Even on brand new computers I build for people who demand Vista, and I've been at this longer than 20 years, now. I don't add anything, allowing the end user to fuck their systems for themselves.
My XP machine, a dual-core AM2 at 2.66GHz with 4GB of RAM boots XP in under 10 seconds, and is usable immediately, under a DEFAULT INSTALL.
My laptop, which runs Vista (I wiped out HP's recovery partition and installed my own Legit copy without all the HP crapware) takes almost a full minute from power-on to system usability. Minus the video card, it's about on equivalent ground with my desktop system.
The only way you'd get lower loading times on average hardware is you disabled a lot of shit (Vista on default install has approximately 50+ processes running. XP? 23.)

What you call GTA4 and what I call GTA4 are different things. To me, GTA 4 is San Andreas, which is the true 4th version of the game.
Of course, you people pay attention to title, and never the true order in which games came out, I FORGOT.
Anyways, notwithstanding that argument, San Andreas, played on either PS3 or Xbox 360 (love backwards compatibility) STILL STUTTERS. PC, it doesn't.
THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK.
Which us PC users have done for a couple of decades now. Let's see, Blu-Ray doesn't even come CLOSE to Hard Drive speeds.

The common man proves that if man can make it, man can break it.
This is a lesson companies will NEVER LEARN when it comes to DRM.

Look for yourself.
It's a piano. No guitar has the 'punch' that a piano has. Listen to the song, put the bass up a little higher than normal. It REALLY stands out.
I've always known there was a piano in the song. It's actually kind of hard to miss if you ever played one before.
But then again, I do have hearing that's sharper than most. at age 26 I can still pick up about 25+KHz frequencies.

Since it's quite obvious you don't understand, I'm not going to bother pointing it out to you. You're already blinded by your 'economics' of bullshit.
I'll just say it simply, the USA cannot increase production, NOR PRODUCTIVITY, as long as WE LOSE OUR JOBS TO ANOTHER COUNTRY.
Maybe your pea-sized money-befuddled brain can understand that.
Okay, if we need to start producing, then I guess the first thing we'd better do is pull all those jobs from India, yes?
