Yeah, but a human has ~3 billion base pairs. IANACS, but with 2 bits per base, so one byte represents 4 bases, so it's roughly equivalent to 750 megabytes. That's pretty impressive compression to shrink to 50 megs (which I agree, is a lot of data).
Then again, if you skim the "junk DNA" (which may or may not really be junk), you can shrink it quite a bit. OTOH, this does not account for the epigenome though, which is bound to pack on quite a few megabytes itself.
50 Mb? Compressing that is a walk in the park. A cakewalk. A walk down easy street.
But I hope you weren't planning on extracting and using it though. Lossy compression can lead to certain . . . artifacts. So I hope you don't mind a third arm growing out of the subject's knee.
he should be sued. Instead of this thorn-in-my-side bloke being known to a handful of people, he now has the publicity to level up to a bloody damn nuisance. 14000 more xp and he'll level up to a rebel.
But seriously, you'd think that as much as the Streisand effect has come up recently (like once a month), certain organizations would take heed and just roll with the punches. But that would involve, you know, using common sense.
If you think about it,/. is like a facebook for nerds. Articles are similar to walls, moderation is used as the 'like' button, blogs are like notes, and I/. stalk just like on facebook.:P
better != good, not by a long shot. A stick stretching between car phone-jammers and the nearest good idea couldn't fit between the Earth and Mars in conjunction.

Careful - these are old IT types still using ed you're talking to
FTFY. :P
Ignorant fool, nice things are exactly what they try to sell to us. :P
Look, there's no way you're going to convince me to remember one IP6 address, let alone a bunch of them. That's 32 hexadecimal digits.

Yes. With these new stacked chips, you could say that the stakes are rising.

ie it's inferior. Not necessarily less active.
Yeah, java 'n all that new stuff is just too . . . clean.
Yeah, two days is more like it.
Not to mention the speeding ticket costs the worth of a planet made out of solid iridium.
Everybody thinks they're the good guys.
White and pink seemed a bit too distracting, but brown seemed pretty decent. Has a wind/rainy sound.
Well, probably in hex, it's more interesting. You can also get by a little bit more with leet speak. 0xBAD 0xCAD 0x15 0x5AD :D

How do we make sure that nobody "controls" the web?
Make it unprofitable.
So . . . you want the government to manage it? :D
If he was kidding, he would have said ed, not vi/emacs.

You're thinking of bluediculous.
Um, just wondering, but what does the programing language/runtime have to do with application features?
You're seriously comparing the TSA bs to a typo in a /. summary? Okay...
Cousin It actually has an annual report.
IOW, typo's are not a big deal, and life moves on.

No, there are 3 kinds of people: those who can count and those who can't.
They don't work in factories?
Yeah, that bugs me too. It's the [lack of] performance that bugs me the most.
