Scientists cannot edit DNA quickly and accurately.
A couple of years ago that statement was correct. CRISPR has really changed the game.
Now, they often don't know what a given stretch of DNA does, so they can't predict what the change will do, but they can now say, "I want to change this sequence right here to this exact sequence of bases," and do it quickly and accurately.
Cellphones must be a godsend to 911 in this regard.
Cellphones were a bloody nightmare in this regard. Before cellphones, your phone was tied to a physical phone line, and emergency dispatch knew where that line was for your phone number.. Knowing what cell tower you were using helped a little, but the problem really didn't go away until cells started having GPS.
Depends on how you're defining it. Following word-by-word directions as seems to be so popular today--you're better off without that. Having a map, on which GPS will show you where you are, that's great. You know where you are and what's around you. But following directions blindly--and you don't have any choice but to follow directions blindly if you don't have a map--you're not better off with that.
You didn't drill down deep enough. They're not specifying an amount of RAM (it hasn't been released yet; when released they'll probably sell varying configurations), but the specs say "8 DDR3 RDIMM slots w/ ECC support (2 memory controllers, 256GB maximum)".
OS processes the information but if you're spoofing the sensor, you can make it see whatever you want it to see and thus come to the desired conclusion.
Still doesn't explain why they didn't just deactivate the device instead of bricking the phone, or why they wait until an iOS upgrade to do it.
We need an explicit "disagree" mod to allow mods to express their intent.
No, we don't. All mods are +1 or -1; that is their purpose. The tag is just there to indicate why you wanted to mod the post. People should not be downrating posts because they disagree with them. The fact that some people are misusing mods to do so anyways does not mean the system should starting endorsing it.
We really need to emphasize the idea that someone can disagree with you, but be sincere, not trolling, if we want to be different from the non-geek sites.
And you can. Hit the "reply" button. Posting a "disagree" tag on a post without stating any reasons or arguments is meaningless.
Also has anyone figured out how to fix lonesome smartphone syndrome? You know where your droid gets lonely when left unattended and starts calling people at random by itself?
I'd recommend stop keeping your smartphone in a back pocket. A belt case would be ideal--it'd prevent the screen from being cracked, too.
That is, I'm sorry, stupid. It would take a large amount of effort, much of it directed towards making parts fail faster just so that the consumer can feel good about not having to throw something out just because one piece failed.
The correct answer is, of course, to make things repairable, and arrange so that the failed part can be replaced. But that would cut into profit margins.
On an unrelated note, have the new Slashdot overlords fired everybody but Timmay?
I work for a moderately large university. We outsourced our email, which used to run on Exchange, to Google years ago. We're a long way from being the only ones.

In Soviet Russia, you are belong to all your phones!

...the interactions claimed they thought some of the complaints might have been for them.
Split screen results in two people playing on one purchase. Get rid of it and now they have to buy it twice. What's hard to understand about that?
...is perfect? Did he not upgrade? Gnome used to be perfect. Now, not so much.

What's funny about it? It's not like it hasn't been done before, although China did eventually drop Red Flag Linux...

You can find lots of car enthusiasts who won't hesitate to tell you it was exactly that.

Determining what's optimal is hard. Determining what everybody else is using is easy.
Yahoo was never a good search engine. Even before Google, Alta Vista was much better for those who knew.

Bit late to the party, aren't you? Timothy has been the author of every front page article since last Friday.

How about it works, and does all the things I need, while microkernels don't. "Poor man's a workaround" beats "missing" any day of the week.
Odd. Linux has sound, full 64-bit support, is free (as in both speech and beer), and I didn't have to write any of it.
I'm having trouble seeing HURD as being superior to that.
Hopefully one of the days we'll support that Internet thing I hear is all the rage with the kids these days.
What's more, if it won, the election should be rerun with none of the previous candidates allowed on the new ballot.

On the contrary, this is probably the best way to make windmills bird-safe. The bigger the blades, the slower they'll move.
