  1. Re:Chromatin on PS3 Owners To Simulate Gene Folding · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is a completely different type of "folding". Protein folding is incredibly complex: "it takes about a day to simulate a nanosecond (1/1,000,000,000 of a second). Unfortunately, proteins fold on the tens of microsecond timescale (10,000 nanoseconds). Thus, it would take 10,000 CPU days to simulate folding -- i.e. it would take 30 CPU years!" Chromatin doesn't "fold" DNA, it just bundles it into compact fibers during mitosis/meiosis. The purpose of chromatin is to bundle DNA into chromosomes and also to regulate which genes are expressed, which is fairly well understood and predictable, while the folding of proteins is incredibly hard to predict.

  2. Genes don't fold..... on PS3 Owners To Simulate Gene Folding · · Score: 5, Informative

  6. Re:Sound a little fishy to me. on Armed Dolphins Released Into Gulf of Mexico · · Score: 0

    He isn't being serious. This is a direct reference to the Austin Powers movie where Dr. Evil has sharks with "frickin lasers" attatched their heads trained to kill people.

    "What color does red and yellow make?"
    Well depends if you are talking about red and yellow light or red and yellow paint.
    Also, you only have a limited amount of questions that you had to type yourself. Im sure there aren't more than 50 of them. I could refresh the page and answer them myself, then write a script to use my answers and spam you 10000 times.
    That method does work very well on a small scale though.

    We all know the next logical step... All I had on my calc when I went to high school was falldown and pheonix. Shit compared to watching porn on a calc in class. Nobody would suspect it!

  12. Rebates on Retail Fraud on the Rise · · Score: 0

    Why not do away with rebates and instead discount the actual prices? Because the asshole manufacturers are hoping the customer looses the rebates or never bothers. Same thing with the sandwich cards.
