    you are assuming that they are only looking at genes that code for a useful protein. There is non coding dna, dna that codes for a protein that doesn't do anything. etc.

  4. Re:I wish I didn't, but I did... on People Swapping PS3s for Wiis? · · Score: 1

    hell no. However electricity is expensive and during the summer many of us let it get pretty warm. The AC is more to reduce the humidity than heat, 80F is a reasonable setting for the area.

    Just the fans are loud on mine. Furthermore I live in Florida so during the summer I find myself having to augment the cooling with one of those after market intercooler things. So it's even louder. I love my 360 but the cooling is lame. I can't stick it in my crowded cabinet next to my ps2, It has it's own spot on a table a foot away from anything else. Isn't the console at some point in time supposed to leave the 1.0 stage and all the kinks get worked out? Usually about 6months after release which is when I bought it.

    oh yeah, all in a days, work, maybe one could fit that in between slashdot pots, real work, and all the other important shit we have to do in a day. Yey.

    >> Would you say that people who got in accidents, and had their seatbelts snap and fail, were at fault because they got in an accident in the first place?

    Yeah, it would be their fault, if they kept getting in accidents over and over again. I doubt the strap fails on the first time.

  13. Re:How far are they going in CS? on What Math Courses Should We Teach CS Students? · · Score: 1

    That would be more of a degree in computational science. I should know this was my curriculum and I don't have a computer science degree but a computational science one.

  14. computational statistics on What Math Courses Should We Teach CS Students? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, perhaps because it has something with what I do, but I was surprised computational statistics isn't on that list. Perhaps it's the other way around, statisticians need to learn to program. Regardless there is quite a bit of overlap. This is also one of the few areas remaining where the speed of your program actually matters.

    well, you assigned your own values there. The original poster had a neutral view. In fact it wasn't quite neutral he said it in a way that seamed to imply that he thought it was really cool.
