There’s a difference between sequencing the genome of DNA, which the article talks about, and retrieving DNA strands intact. The latter is akin to getting the book, the former is akin to reading it. This is likely to account for the discrep

The comment you're replying to makes the point that if you already had a charger, you could use the old charger and the old cable. There is no requirement to use the new cable that it came with. If you agree that people probably alrea

I use 'Kill Sticky' to get around these popovers. Usually it works. Sometimes scrolling is broken. But it's usually better than clicking 'ok'. https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/

This article is based on the Ericsson Mobility Report. The report discusses smartphone subscriptions, not users, reaching 6.1B. An interesting statistic from the report is that 90% of the world's population over the age of 6 will own m

I agree this is a great cause, but did I miss why there is only 1 day to go until a goal is reached? They don't explain the consequences of only getting USD1.48 million instead of 1.5. There is someone who said (I'm sorry I can&#x

Given a retina display aims to copy the sharpness we see in our every day lives from real objects, I would suggest it doesn't intrinsically carry a risk of tiring your eyes, in the same way as we don't get tired seeing all day lon

This podcast is a great repository of video game tracks. Though finished now, I enjoyed listening to the interviews and the fact that the episodes have a theme helps them be educational (well, interpreting at the very least). https:/

I downloaded the VM today and spent a fair while trying to diagnose a CheckIP error. It turns out, after going on the IRC channel that none of the projects on the VM are up to date and hence the VM can't be used to help the project. He

Britain, including Scotland, is Metric. The fact that metrication happened in the 60s means people of a certain age describe the weather in both F or C, depending on the situation. The UK is certainly unique in the EU for its exceptions whi

Not in my experience. The requirement of 6 weeks' rent as a deposit is, however. I wouldn't be surprised if some ask for 8. This is partly what makes it so difficult to get in to the rental market for some people.

You may have been thinking of this sketch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa_hiLXLbTc Where one guy proposes a modern idea but it makes no sense to people of the past. I think this is one of a 2 or 3 such sketches.

It is increasingly trivial to try millions or billions of hashes per second. Using scrypt forces the computer to use more resources (in this case, memory in particular) which means that scaling the guess rate is orders of magnitude slower a

They take a hash of every X MB of your data before upload. If the hash already exists, then they don't upload it. You just get added to the access list for that particular chunk along with the others who have uploaded it.

Note that they are likely to use something like 4MB chunks of the file rather than whole files. This prevents things like metadata/name differences creating a different hash for the whole file.

The difference in the signal in one channel will make the encoder throw away different parts of the audio compared to the other channel. This produces data loss in both the 'mono' portion of the signal and the 'stereo' part of the signal. S

This is a great idea and I see myself coming back to this. It's a shame that a little blog on tumblr or blogspot gets taken out because it's under a big name domain - but this has spam related benefits too. Great work!
