And another thing: chemically, DNA is almost heroically unchanging. It is among the most unreactive, inert molecules in the biological world. That means data integrity, a Good Thing.
There will always be the 1337 among us who want the most recent and fastest chip, no matter who makes it or what makes it fast, as long as they can get 4 more fps in Doom 3 and run a Seti@home task in 3 minutes less. If Intel sells some chips and steals some business from AMD et al., which they almost certainly would have with this thing, why not do it? They've already put time and money into R&D, so why not just go ahead with the thing?
Biodiesel is in the domain of bacterial genetic modification, not plant. The potentially huge reproduction rate and smaller genome of bacteria makes them ideal for the job.
... what authority do they have? Is all pornography illegal for everyone in China? While they might be disagreeable to some, most porn sites are legitimate businesses. Is the Chinese government so far-reaching?
Smarter cars will help, sure. The problem is: the 'bad drivers' will start to rely on the car to do the thinking for them. I don't exactly want to share the road with these people.
The article consists of four general sentences. Nothing is inaccurate as far as I can tell; it's just lean on details in a "where's the beef?" sort of way.
I myself don't have anything useful to add to the article. Hence the cry for help.
We've heard about this before. We predict when/where the storm will happen, then we prevent it and put the storm in jail, but then sometimes there's a minority report and it turns out we have to let all the storms go free and the supercomputers retire to a nice little pastoral island somewhere in Maine or something.
With all the spam-blocking programs out there, and with most of the major web-based email providers offering their own spam protection, I wonder why there's still a tremendous uproar about spam. Myself, I haven't needed to delete a single spam message in probably six months, and I have three web-based accounts.
Is spam still truly the problem people say it is?
If this is ignorant, then I embrace it as an opportunity to learn.
Yesterday there was a bit about Atari releasing some new products (here), and the clever 'department' tag was when-emulators-aren't-enough. Coincidence, or conspiracy?

In related headlines, robbers worldwide have begun arguing that they don't like it when their victims carry guns.
This really seems like an argument from desparation.
Smart drivers drive for the conditions anyway.

The Wikipedia article needs some serious work. Calling all knowledgeable nerds.
Unless you sold the tapes, no. But there's always eBay, if you're desperate.
Agree. How about simply "Your Rights"?
I gave up moderating this comment down (or Funny) so I could say the following: it's high time /. got a new moderation option -- "-1, Ignorant".

You're right; I totally misread that. How embarassing.
I take it back. Except for the last bit.
From the article: A separate patch with an "important" rating ... was sent only to premier customers.

Wow, this might have been newsworthy ... about ten years ago. You might as well have said "processors are getting faster!"
I mean, seriously.
HOLY CRAP! Walla Walla made it to Slashdot. I suppose next we'll have President CowboyNeal.
