Morse Code Used by Human Cells?
Roland Piquepaille writes "Researchers from several universities and drug companies in the U.K. have discovered that our cells are using Morse-like signals to switch genes on and off. The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) write that this discovery may have major implications for the pharmaceutical industry. Better and more efficient drugs would only deliver the signals to our cells that will activate a desired behavior. Sounds like science fiction? Read more for other details, references and pictures."
Let me guess: One more justification for hanging onto the 5WPM morse requirement, right?

to my feet in the morning, then QRO to my legs. That will allow me to get QRV and out of bed.
Human cells did it first. I knew that Morse guy was a fraud all along.

I have freaks! I did something right...
S.O.C. Save Our Cells...
From IP claims.
Vague analogy: like mapping root-servers as opposed to studying the BIND cache of a mid-sized ISP nameserver.
THANK YOU for putting the word "vague" in there. I consider myself a pretty major nerd, and I was about to go blow the back of my head off because I have no idea what the fuck you just said. HHOS
When BPL comes in, those cells aren't going to be able to hear each other anymore.
Now that we know how to communicate with them...
Could someone convert the following messages to morris code for me?
To my head hair follicles: START GROWING AGAIN!
To my back, ear, and nose hair follicles : STOP GROWING SO MUCH!
DEAD DEAD DEAD DELETE ME
All this time it was Morse Code ... and I tried buying girls beer to switch their jeans off.
No sig for you. YOU GET NO SIG!
Xenocide.
/. is for.
But anyway, as far as all this Roland shit goes, Slashdot sold out a long time ago, people. Fuck it.
Maybe, just maybe the people who ran the site figured out that they could do whatever they wanted, and they'd still be rolling in the page hits.
I mean think about the amount of traffic that pours through this site everyday. This is a site that has a reputation for bringing down servers from mass amount of click-through traffic, and that's just the people who even bother to RTFA. I rarely if ever do, myself seeing as most of the articles don't interest me for shit.
I say we just ignore the articles entirely, and just start talking about whatever the fuck we want to. It's not like we pay to see this site (at least I don't)
Oh wait, everyone is already doing that, barely keeping on-article topic if at all. Good, because theres almost always people here that know more about the topic the article was written on than the authors of said shitty articles.
Don't read the articles, block the ads, and just start talking about whatever comes to your head when you read the article summary. That's what
If you are a paying member of the site...I'm assuming you have the money to throw around. The incentive to pay to be a member(OOH I CAN SEE THE ARTICLES SOONER) is pretty much counter-productive to what I come here for anyhow.
