The authors and editors are seriously disconnected from reality if they think Facebook is jumping the shark. Almost everyone on a college campus is on it.
as well as lots of questions around when and how DNA was actually turned into working proteins.
DNA is transcribed into mRNA which is then translated by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. DNA is not "turned into" proteins.
Methylization semi-permanently deactivates DNA
Methylation is just one aspect of chromatin structure. It's not semi-permanent, it's dynamic.
The bottom line is that DNA is only the bottom rung of how information is stored and manipulated in the nifty little computers that are our cells.
DNA is the fundamental unit of information, which is the source of all gene regulation. If the DNA wasn't what it was, nothing would work in the cell. Afterall, "junk DNA" as you call it is not junk and is responsible for gene silencing (microRNA) other forms of gene regulation.
This is also a great context to talk about evolution - no sane intelligent designer would make a cell this way. If you think about small changes over billions of years, though, you can see how the warping and twisting of DNA could produce interesting results that are passed down from generation to generation.
To claim that you are smarter than the creator of the universe is pure hubris. Who are you, o little man? You are but a speck in the ocean of the universe.
Unlike Microsoft's typical crash and burn solution, the new MacGrittle will cook your eggs differently: while leaky, the runnyness will be smooth, and you won't face the dreaded viruses and E. coli of the competition.
[Me thinking] Oh man... Google killed that guy for just revealing it's intentions, which is evil. But, it also hit the submit button for him, thereby causing his death to not be in vain, which was nice. Of course, the poster did unnecessarily use "quotation marks" around the word "brain", which is evil, and deserves death. But he also used the contraction "it's" correctly and didn't misspell sentience, which is good... I guess I don't know what to think... I just hope Google doesn't notice MY extravagant and unnecessary use of quotation marks and ellipsis and kill me... I suppose I'd better fix it before
They should make these sticks suitable for use in a way similar to pregnancy tests: pee on the stick to see the concentration of caffeine in your system.
Blue means not enough
Pink means just right
Black means you're peeing coffee.
Brown means you put it near the wrong orifice.
Clearly, the lower-activation energy of phosphodiester bond formation between nucleotides (RNA) causes favorability over the much higher activation energy for peptide bonds.
Prions are defective proteins. You appear to be latching onto an idea and running with it rather than understanding the science behind it, much like Darwinists do with evolution.
In the context of proper science, your post makes no sense.
I would definitely agree with you on that. Just look at the comments involving global warming. You would think that from reading their comments, that the world is going to end tomorrow.
Not only is the innovation of the software insignificant, but the implementation is certainly lacking. It doesn't even do +1, +2, +3, -1, -2, -3 analysis for finding open reading frames.
This is non-news. And what's especially funny is that most of the commenters here on Slashdot have no idea what this software does, and they shoot their uneducated, ignorant opinions into the whole issue.

How is that a troll?
Because there is no moderation for (-1, Retarded).
I for one welcome our new water-splitting bacterial overlords.

Ever thought you could carry your home in the palm of your hands?
I know that I can carry my entire genome in the palm of my hand... about 15,000,000 copies of it. Beat that!
God help us if there is a Clippy version of the ad:
It sounds like you are trying to masturbate. Would you like some lubricant?
* fap, fap, fap *
And by profit on the second run, you mean take a loss?

Both.
Arrogant? Arrogance would be whipping his thingy out and pissing on the front row.
Considering that Google has 450,000 servers, that would be one massive e-penis, from which I would gladly accept the gUrine.
Please, the man has no pants on. Please don't bring up "squirting" things...
He already got modded as a troll by the M$ Astroturfers. STOP THE HATE!!! MOD HIM INSIGHTFUL!
This is a fight for our very Linux livelihood! BAND TOGETHER, BROTHERS!
We must stop it now, before...

Safari is barely usable with any AJAX application. Hell, you're lucky Gmail works with it.

Google Video China (http://video.google.cn/) definitely does not show Google Video content from the US National Archive. Damn Google Censorship...
Apparently the file storage limit is 100mb. Not sure if there's a limit to the data transferred.
Why exactly is this on Slashdot? Doesn't necessarily fit the "news for nerds" mantra...

If this is the warmest in so many years, then back then it was hotter that what we have now.
