  1. Re:Huge database on Last.fm To Start Charging International Users · · Score: 1

    I would happily contribute my listening habits for commercial purposes if then they give me the free radio back. Seems pretty fair to me. (If my identity remains anonymous, of course. That additional information would cost more. Maybe a few free tickets for my favorite band gigs.)

    You sig is wrong in so many levels :--)

  3. Re:99.3% accurate? on New Method To Revolutionize DNA Sequencing · · Score: 1

    That is the reason why we sequence the same genome region more than once.

  4. Re:Surprise, surprise! on The Gene Is Having an Identity Crisis · · Score: 1

    One time I see a very good scientist saying that since they have low salaries (for the long years of study needed to take a PhD), low recognition (you are a nerd!) and low success with girls (you are a nerd!) the only thing left is to take pleasure with arrogance. (and irony, for sure).

  11. Re:iPod on E8 Structure Decoded · · Score: 1

    People should not continue to tell that all the genetic information of a cell is in the DNA. There are lots of epigenetic information in other cell molecules. Also, if we consider all the biological information in a cell, it could easily go far than 60 gigabytes.

  14. Re:As always... on The End of Net Anonymity In Brazil · · Score: 1

    And we all know that Brazil is a breeding ground for terrorists, I mean, why else would they kill that Brazilian in London a year or so ago. So this must be a "Good Thing" (TM). That shooting was an accident. What about sending some of your troops here to fight the Brazilian terrorism? It would be sooooo nice.

  15. oops... on Open source Digital Bacteria · · Score: 1

    in true...this is just an initial step in biological modelling. We yet need more experimental data to develop reliable models, and build oriented models. Real biological systems are much more complex than our modelling capacity today.

  18. Re:Rainbows and Unicorns on Single Molecule Transistor A Reality · · Score: 1

    Crystals are made of atomns and molecules. You can have a crystal made out of molecules with different atomns. You can made crystals with proteins, as you know, are made of many atomns classes. So, a simple crystal with one type of atom and no impurities is a single molecule (diamond), other type of crystal could not be considered a single molecule.

    Today biology heavily depends on specific software to analyse lab generated data. However, even academic, public funded software are not open-source. It's a sad situation, but there are efforts like Bioinformatics.Org trying to change the situation.
