Actually you're right - it wouldn't even be base for because you can only have CT and AG pairs (I think, any molecular biologist want to correct)? So effectively you get base 2.
Unless, I suppose, you have a way of only reading one half of the helix, in which case you can use all 4 bases independantly. Euch...
a. It's not trolling, possibly misinformed and: b. It's actually right. If you wish to be a molecular biologist, post with a name so you have some actual respect.
It may just be me who can't spot it in the list, but where is using BitTorrent to distribute the latest ISO images for Linux installs? Not to mention all the patches etc...
Yorkshire's (UK) tap water actually has a higher purity than most bottled waters. It even comes with a load of those nice trace minerals which give it many of the same (supposed) health properties.
It is actually possible (or so I hear) to buy Yorkshire Water's tap water bottled (if that makes sense) outside of the county, although I can't say for sure if that was a short-term marketing gimmick or not.
Generally speaking, yes and yes. You can't pick locks without knowing how they work (it's not a matter of sticking a bent paperclip in and wiggling it around - trust me).
Likewise, you can't hack a computer as easily as you can in films. "login root" doesn't work in real life, but if you know how the security works then you can find a way around it, or patch the holes.

Trillian 3.0 Released

You can get around this in Trillian 3.0 (Pro at least) by giving the new connection a seperate contact list - these are stored seperately from the 'My Contacts'.
Amen to the iPod/iTunes combi. Even on Windows it just works(tm), because Apple know *exactly* what is on each end of the link cable with no room for variation (bar easily circumnavigated firmware updates). I've never had the joy of using iPod/iTunes/Mac combi but from what I know of Apple it will just plug in and go.
The trendy bit doesn't affect me (well, maybe a bit). I have a wide variety of funky looking gadgets capable of playing music back at me, but iPod/iTunes is simply the easiest. No other combination I have seen even comes close.
Actually, this doesn't bother me. I rely on always having one or two spams get through my filter in order to train it, for clicking the 'This Is Spam' button once a day is far easier than having to deal with lots of spam as tactics change.
Amen to that. If you're going to create a plethora of new TLDs, please force people to use the real domains. As in make damn sure that if I hit a.com it's a US commercial site,.org.uk is a UK charity etc.
The only thing I have ever found a computerised database for is my music - and that's only because I've got it all digitized. 2000+ songs takes a long time to look through manually.
Sorry, meant that Linux as a whole will fall apart. The kernel will still work properly, it's just other bits that may fail.
Apps like IE (OK, not *that* useful but for most people it's great), Windows Picture Viewer etc. are all part of the Kernel. Little things like the 'Common Tasks' in XP. They are nice to use, Linux is lacking unless you install them manually, probably along with a specific library that won't talk to X properly because you've changed the config.
I admire your common sense - most Linux users on/. would push it for everything. I use Windows for desktop because it's easier to do what I need to, and Linux for serving because it does what it's meant to first time (even if it is taking the system out).
Yes, I have configured Linux desktops. I hate them. If I want a GUI it should be integrated with the kernel (note NOT built into the kernel), since that way there is only one thing to deal with. Gnome, KDE, IceWM, they are all different and most of them grind against me in being almost but not quite entirely unlike Windows. They have tried to steal bits of the Windows UI (Right click, Taskbar etc) whereas those churned out by Apple are actually innovative.
If I was moving people to a new OS I would move them to Macs. Linux can stay in the servers where it belongs until there is truly one which can desktop for Joe Public as well as Windows and Mac.
Some web applications I write have a feature which bypasses a user auth check if they are moving from a specific high security function into a low security function. Usually it would re-authenticate them against the database every event, but in this case that would cause the database to return bad info (The high-security function is a refresh script for every user's permissions and takes a while to run). Skipping the auth makes sure you don't get bad permissions while the script runs - is that a bug? Some would say so.

no, he was right first time. base 5 - NULL, A, C, G, T.
Except I can't think of an easy way to have a NULL in place of a base... hmm.

It is possible to get plasma screens 'refilled' to bring brightness back up.

BBC World Service, what else?
Better news coverage than any of the US news channels.

I'm writing a Bayesian filter for comments based on a peer review system (like /.)
Profiles are a nice solution to this (and implemented properly in 3.0). You can even password protect them!
What he's describing isn't homophobia - it's simply a theory as to why there *are* homosexual people.
I can almost hear the uproar when they get infected with a popup... sorry, 'Targeted User-Oriented Product Feedback Tool'
I'd buy one for the funkyness factor alone!
Imagine being able to see the CDs spin around inside the cube!

I hope for your sake that was sarcasm :P
I personally think this isn't Microsoft's fault - it's a throwback to the days of 95 when you had 'Users'. Not users with permissions, just users.
Many companies haven't yet worked out that Windows is tightening up security.

Fry as far as I know. I'll have to keep some packaging and take it into the shop a year later just to see what happens.
