Since the two types of base pairs can be mixed, It dosn't really seem like it would pose that much of a question. In fact, the DU pairs, IIRC are compatable with AT pairs.
Symbols arn't in time, they are indexed in a string. You simply can't encode morse with just ones and zeros, unless you use unary to represent the time. You might as well just enumrate the thing and use unary to denote the number and claim that morse code is unary. You could also say morse code uses symbols based on the spelling of the terms 'dotditditdotdotdots1dots2dits3' etc, and claim it had 8 symbols. Either way would be idiotic.
If all the questions were already answered, what would be the point in learning it? We are at the point where we can explain for a long time on any question inside the realm of human experiance, and a great deal more. But, I don't see why you should expect us to know everything, and be omnipotent.
Isn't e just a 'convenience' number? I mean, since int(x^e) = x^e, while x^[other numbers] are a bitch to calculate. So, we throw e into all types of exponential equations just to make them easy to integrate/differentiate?
Well, we have 10 fingers because all vertebre(sp?) have them. Otoh, some early animals had more and less then 5 apendages, but 5 fingers is what we 'stablized' too, so obviously there is some kind of reason.

Okay, if there's no mathematical reason, tell me the value of 0.3 in binary to the last digit.;-)
Well, there's no reason you couldn't use a fixed-point fraction system for encoding floats, in which case the value would be exactly 0000000100000011, that is to say 1/3, using 8 bit components. You would just need to make adders/subtractors that worked with this format.
Sortof, but that's not the point.

IIRC G or T is replaced with U in RNA. I really should remember, since it was in the article. Oh well.
But anyway, the point is that the components of this two pair stuff were more readily available on the primordial earth (and more heat resistant).
First of The article is about microbiology, and about how some researchers developed a dual base pair kind of 'dna' that could actually work (i.e. replicate itself, make proteins, etc). It says absolutely nothing 'computability' of DNA.
Secondly, you can use a unary base for computation. For example, 3 = 000, 4 = 0000, etc. All possible inputs for various equations and the like can be created as unary numbers. In fact, if you had any idea with regards to what you are talking about, you would know that Church numbers (introduced in Church's breakthrough paper) are basically unary.
So in other words, you obviously didn't read the article, and you obviously don't understand anything about the Church-Turing thesis.
All he's doing is testing the engine, if I were building something pretty much unprecedented, and place my own life in it's hands, I'd make damn sure it was safe. I think almost anyone would, German or not.
That said, I'm sure ford does spend lots of time on safety features, although the engines they use aren't spinning nearly as fast (like 8-11krmp max) and are based on tried and true designs.
And it's so compact, compared to the stand-up unit that was going to be produced by the company that whent up in smoke a few weeks ago (what was the name?)
By the way, anyone here any fluid-dynamics understanding, whats the reason for the strange, non-uniform shape of the compressor blade thing? I was looking at designs for automotive turbos, and I noticed the same thing (thoughs smaller, of course) and notice the same thing. Whats the deal with that?
By the way, how eficent are turbo engines? According to Airbus, their new super-sized plane is more fuel efficent then most cars. I was thinking it would be cool to build a sort of turbo-hybrid car. A large turbo engine that charges batteries, which run motors for the wheels. It could certanly be a lot more mechanicaly simple then an auto engine, I would think.

It only takes 3 or 4 people to design a CPU. So, even with only the designers hes met, china would be able to design this chip. The reason there are so many designers out there, is because there are so many chips to be designed. Most of them don't work on the Pentium/Athlon
Which is obvious BS. The reason brothers and sisters don't enjoy eachother 'sexualy' has to do with the fact that they grew up together, not that they are geneticaly related. The same behavior can be found in many types of animals (such as birds, etc). Animals that are 'rased' together simply won't mate with eachother.
On the other hand, brother/sister pairs who are not rased together are often attracted...
Actualy, I think Starwars was created of its own. And indeed, it stands on its own, as does ROTJ. Obviously, if you write a story your mind will spin with alternate and future ideas for it, but that dosn't mean that the whole was created in one step. (like LOTR, or the Matrix).
Also, the whole LOTR trillogy is a 'sequel' of sorts to the Hobbit.
Why would we? All you're doing is ranting and raving like a madman. As far as I can tell, you're whole argument boils down to "He's stupid, damnit, can't you see he's STUPID!??!!"
Aditionaly, higher gravity = slower time. So, if you were to go into orbit around a black hole without spinning apart (for example) and then leave most things would be advanced along farther. Or, if you traveled near the spead of light, etc.
Actualy, the film was shot with the 'i hate everybody' sign, and then replaced with 'niggers' for the cinema. I doubt the TV production crews would really have enough money to to a nice replacement, so you're probably seeing the orgional shot, not an alteration
That said, I did see a TV edit of showgirls Where they had the most rediculous painted on bra on the character in her stage performances. It looked like a "My first photoshop" excersize:P

Note I did say handle like a sports car, but not accelerate and top speed like a sports car.
Well, if it dosn't accelerate like a sports car, how would you know if it 'handles' like one?
