    Skiron writes "I stumbled on this quite excellent project after reading an article on the BBC news site (who, for some reason never include a link and leave the reader to go ogle for it. 'The Ensembl Genome Browser - Ensembl is a joint project between EMBL - EBI and the Sanger Institute to develop a software system which produces and maintains automatic annotation on metazoan genomes. Ensembl is primarily funded by the Wellcome Trust.' A sort of DNA Wiki!"

  2. Using DSL Modems for Point to Point Connections?

    Tommydog asks: "Any techies out there? I'm living in a rural area and would like to know from anyone qualified, if I can hook up 2 DSL modems point to point, and connect to a neighbor's home network who is running Internet Sharing. We do have a dry pair (we can only get one pair) of TELCO wires between our houses, which are about 2 miles apart. Before investing in a couple of single pair modems (T-1's require 2 pair), I'd like to know if anyone has been able to make something like this work. It turns out that I'm just a bit too far for DSL, but this neighbor does have it and will share it if I can get a good connection going. So, anyone have 2 DSL modems working point to point, back to back? Are there any caveats or precautions? Thanks!"
