  1. Re:base 5 computing? on DNA For Information Processing and Data Storage · · Score: 1

    > .the peptides (yeah yeah, not protiens)

    No they are not peptides either. They are simply bases. You are right though NULL doesn't work. The fact that they come in pairs doesn't limit this in any way. You always get 2 strands of dna they pair with each other. So long as you only look at one strand there are four possibilities in each position.

    wow this makes me shiver when I read it.

    1. it's spelled protein.
    2. It can only be a, c, g, t in dna
    3. those aren't proteins they are bases
    4. Proteins are coded by dna, they do not comprise dna in any way.
    5. Dna doesn't get spliced during cell replication. It gets copied.

    > steal it.

    nothing is getting stolen, you dimwhit.

    It's not exactly someone's right to sell you a product, but before you get it, you have to sit through their shit.

    It's like buying some electronics but before you can use them you have to sit on the phone and listen to telemarketers before they activate it for you. And by the way no where on the packaging does it say that this is the case.

    If I pay for a ticket that says a movie will start at 9:30 it better start at 9:30 otherwise the movie theater is in breach of contract. And if they feel like they can skirt the law, they shouldn't be upset when others are also skirting it.

    > Gradually, TV and movies have devolved into very little content, but a lot of sex and violence.

    Oh, how I wish this were the case. There is no sex on tv, only implied wussy sexual suggestion. And occasionally janet jacksons boob. While mindless it would be more entertaining to have more sex like in Europe. As far as violence, well they do alot, but the cheasy bloddy special effects from cheasy horror movies(which is the only reason to watch them anyway) is always sensored out. Only the implication of violence remains which is usually much worse anyway.

    And why is this the case? Because tv is over regulated. Stations should be able to show hard core porn and beheadings in Iraq if the market demands it and parents be damned, raise your own damned kids.
