It actually is possible to recreate the full genome and sequence it from just fragments. In fact Craig Venter's strategy during the Human Genome Project used this idea. They made countless copies of the full genome, then fragmented each cop

It's much more difficult than that. The biggest issue is finding where exactly to make the changes. Even then, we don't necessarily know what the phenotype, the eventual outcome, of making a change will be. There are two versions of each ge

I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but for me the most striking point was when it circled back to today. It was a reminder that in that grand scheme of things, there's some stuff you do control. Now, time to get that stuff I was p

The overly similar caves was compounded with the problem of so many quests being oriented around them. Everyone and their mother seems to have lost a valuable family relic or heard of a treasure in some nearby cave. Each one is as predictab

It's definitely realistic, but sometimes it seems just a little off. There are times when it seems to "clump" up like a solid would when you have water particles thrown in the air. I'm not sure if that's my own bias or the uncanny valley

Many people use facebook as just another way to communicate with friends, either through messages, wall posts, or event invites. I don't really care if they post uninteresting stuff to their own wall. Actually, it'd be rather sad if I reeva

I'm also curious what "Most creative in class" means. It seems odd to say nobody ever gave you a break while simultaneously saying you were the "Most encouraged". While not exactly the same, surely people recognized his strengths then? &#62

That's a good point. However, is there much textual evidence that Frodo specifically built up resistance to the ring, and not just strength of character? I guess it comes down to the following factors that might have an effect on ring-resis

by Scriptor 14y ago
By the time he had walked to Mt. Doom, Frodo was exhausted, weak, malnourished, and had carried the burden of the ring for a long time. These all contributed to him succumbing to its power. If the eagles had flown him, none of those factors

> it's possible that an asteroid impact could lead to both volcanic activity It could lead to local seismic activity, sure, but I don't think it'd be enough to cause enough volcanic activity. I may be wrong, though.

The impact theory is outdated in that people used to think it was by far the largest cause of the extinction. What the article is saying is that scientists now agree it was far more balanced between impacts, volcanoes, and sea levels. Exa

Javascript is frequently stripped of all whitespace as part of the minification process. This includes removing all newlines and indentation. This would a good bit harder with Python.
