Why is cloning suddenly involved anyway?
|
|
|

Eliminate the word cloning from your dictionary since it do not exists.

Are you sure? You can do it in your backyard. Cut off a piece of a plant (of a species that makes it work well, like tomatoes), keep it in a cup of water for a time until it develops tiny roots, then stick it in the ground.
And there you go, cloned a plant. Easy.

Why? The word exists to describe a human concept. Eliminating the word does not eliminate the concept, even if you believe that concept does not exist in the physical world.
This is a programming web site, devoted almost entirely to software. Software has little to no physical existence. Should be therefore eliminate the thousands of terms used to describe it from our vocabulary?

yes it does exist even if you choose not to recognize it. 
As explained by Harold Aptroot but not limited to that explanation.

Wow.
Why doesn't it exist?? Because some Imam told you it didn't??
Now who's being the sheep??
The beautiful part of the science is the "independent peer review process". It's IMPOSSIBLE to fake something and get it past peer review because someone is going to figure it out and call you out on it or at least call you out on problems with the original experimentation process.
Cloning exists because it's been done by various independent teams of people who have examined the claims, researched the basis for those claims, REPEATEDLY experimented and verified the claims, and duplicated the results themselves, thereby verifying what the initial team claims to have done!
There is NO TOP-LEVEL SCIENTIFIC AUTHORITY THAT RULES ALL SCIENTISTS NAD GOVERNS WHAT THEY CAN AND CANNOT SAY. This is an important point. The scientific community has built-in checks and balances to make sure what is presented and said is true to the base of what we have already PROVEN to be true. Notice I did not say "what we already KNOW to be true".
Science is a self-correcting process. If someone comes along and proves that something we have already taken as fact is wrong, the science takes the new information into account and changes accordingly. But, don't forget, it has to pass the peer review process!
Religion has no such process and religion has a structured ruling authority. The BEST they have is a group of people discussing a topic and coming to an agreed upon consensus which is then turned into dogma for dissemination down the chain of command to the followers. They have no proof at all backing up what they say and no way for an independent team to verify and constructively criticize what is being handed down.
Want proof of this?? How many different "brands" of Islam are there? There are over 30,000 versions of organized Christianity just in the United States! Each "religion" has it's own version of events and interpretations. None can agree because there is no evidence definitively supporting the "one true" version and/or interpretation of events to the exclusion of all others, thereby leading to the severe fracturing of any one religion system. Everyone claims they're correct and everyone else is wrong.

Well said.

I'm going to ask the question no one else has bothered to ask.
Why do you think cloning is impossible?

Ummm...did you bother to read the title? It's an "animation". So yes, it's a representation of what really happens.

Yes, which is why the video title starts with "This is an animation".

So here we go.
I want Dropbox as a standard save location on Excel, but of course W8 doesn't like that as they want you to use CryDive.
After faffing about I find a small batch file download that is supposed to do it for you.
Hooray!
Except it doesn't work.
It doesn't recognize the OS.
In the end I had to start plonking around in the registry to see if that would solve the problem.
Still no joy.
Eventually managed to edit the batch file, enter the dropbox path and managed to add it.
What should take 30 seconds took 30 minutes!
PITA

Yeah, I've had customers like that, too. You seem to have a special talent!

I've been using Bittorrent Sync[^] with some officemates successfully...works like a charm...no middle man server to steal your data or charge exorbitant fees like DropBox.
I wouldn't want people storing 100 meg files on it but for your usual Word, Excel, PowerPoint stuff, it's great.
