Yeah, I was thinking about the risk of cancer too. Too little is known about what tweaks do what for a person to risk it.
What about a complete blood transfusion before submitting to a blood DNA test?
News flash...police lie to get confessions.

Twist on DNA Privacy

The article is skimpy on the details, but my guess is that once they found the DNA was a close match to that kid, they started conducting interviews of his relatives who were of an appropriate age. During the interrogation..er interview, the suspect was told that DNA evidence was found that irrefutably linked them to the murder.
Police are very well-practiced in the techniques of obtaining confessions. So much so, that many confessions have been obtained from people who it turns out could not have possibly committed the crimes they were accused of.
I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make, but making a living in my basement home office coding applications while high sounds a lot better than writing TPS workflow scripts for a faceless corporation in a partitioned rat maze.
That a certain percentage of the population be given machine lathes with the condition that they have to produce at least one additional lathe to give with the same condition to someone who didn't have one yet.
Very soon, everyone would have lathes. The market for lathes would be nil. The new market would be for what you could produce with your lathe. Even that market would wane, since anything that was produced for market could be quickly copied by others.
I think eventually, the market would shift again. Now, the lathe owners would create new proprietary tools that would be used to produce goods and services.
It seems the IT industry is going through those evolutions now.
The PC is our lathe, and the software is the first tier of production from these lathes.
When a new application comes out, such as the browser, it's just a question of time before the concept is copied to the point of market saturation.
Open Source is the recognition of this inevitability, and is providing the templates for this first tier.
Now, the challenge is to take these tools and make our own, custom applications and profit from them.
Amazon and Ebay have done this for themselves, but are wisely cooperating with individuals who are making new tools to profit with them.
If Bucky was right, the wealth that can be created by such cooperation has no limits.

The Nimbus 2000 and the Nimbus 2001 brooms were good in their day, but for real competitive edge, the Firebolt is the best.
My enjoyment of sports would be nigh impossible without this bad boy.
So if you're a prostitute with poor oral hygine they might get the DNA from five different guys with a mouth swab.

This was from a recent reinvestigation. How fresh can a 15 year old DNA sample be?
If you can't duck it, f..k it.
I'm not sure what I'm more speechless about. That this guy got a patent, or that this made Slashdot.

Ideas are what it's all about.
It's going to get a lot harder to profit from just being a code drone for some large company.
To profit is going to require thought, a lot of it.
Not just the kind of thought you use in programming, but non-linear, right brain thought.
The people who can think holistically have a serious advantage at this.
For those who have difficulty in this area, I suggest you start hanging out with the crazy dreamer types who post the kind of drivel I do.

Steve Ballmer was cheaper.
It's not quite ready for prime-time yet, but this is getting closer to being able to code your macros in Perl.
Seriously, awesome work people.
Everywhere else is a day of relief for today we confine the majority of our ordinance to within our own borders.
Unless there is a reasonable chance of losing appendages.
They really shouldn't have tried to measure the mass of the Higgs boson.
Power is shut down or it fails for some reason.
What is left?
A big sheet of plastic, exactly what they are using now.
Is it worthy of reading while on the throne?
Bedtime for Bonzo was so much better than this Terminator stuff.

Couldn't have anything to do with Arnold's soon-to-be bid for the California governorship.
