Look, I just bought a 6 core 16GB 2TB machine from newegg for $822 this week.
And I work with genetic data. We use 2TB external HDD to back up laptops, and have rack mounts of 8 core 8 blade machines in the basement.
The problem mostly is with deciding what data is relevant and categorizing it, and then processing it.
A lot of what some people think is "useless data" in the genome is precisely NOT useless. Inserts, deletes, misfolds - all are ways for DNA to store adaptive biochemical patterns in a finite space and let the same strand of RNA express differently in different environmental and biological conditions.
Half the time I've worked on a biochem or genetics project, it turns out what we initially thought was useless data in fact turns out to be important data.
I assume that by 'the province' you mean the provincial government, because I was on the net in 1990 in the dungeons of the dal. I was video chatting before most people had heard of the web with cu-seeme.
I only started so late because I was born too late.
We've had the net for a while.
I know, I used to be on the Net back at SFU in the late 70s.
While this is great news for the FBI and CIA and the other groups I shall not name (given my past SECRET clearance), there are other connections as well.
Just today one of the people who has been reading my twitter posts (mostly thru RTs) finally realized my pic was at the exact same place her pic was at, on Mount Washburn at Yellowstone Park, and, in point of fact, had been taken within a day or two of when mine was.
Even though we were both from Seattle and this was quite a distance away.
A good analyst would realize that pictures taken by different people have value-added connections that indicate shared values, aspirations, and other connection points, which is how, if we wanted to actually stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons like the other 15 nuclear nations in the Middle East and adjacent countries that aren't in NATO, we could find agents to tap and trace them.
I know my colleague, who is running one of the UW autism research projects, is particularly interested in both maternal and paternal risk factors, as relates to scientist/engineer avocations.
However, one of our major problems to date is that all the IQ scoring systems have major problems of usage, and this makes it harder to get a high enough p value of significance in statistical correlations for the various traits.
At this point, it's too early to say that this is in fact true (statistically significant).
actually, access to clean drinkable water is the highest risk factor and has the greatest probability of association with severe infections, which can impact your survival and that of your offspring.
Exactly, it's like that waste of great brainpower, aka Silly String Theory.
We do actually have certain medical devices we can implant in your body that react to electromagnetic induced signals, so that say a wristwatch can regulate your dosage or measure it.
It's not that your basic DNA is changed, just that certain segments are silenced or activated.
While it is true that virii can overwrite segments of your DNA, it's more that conditions in the environment turn on or off or alter the expression of the genetic code.
For further details look in a recent biology or biochem book for mRNA, miRNA, siRNA, and other fun things.
I for one welcome our new dragon overlords, and look forward to their sulfur-enabled atmosphere allowing them to rid the Earth of all humans.
Which is kind of amusing, in that humans will make it possible for dinosaur-like avians to replace them, after we muck up earth by burning fossilized trees and dinosaurs.
Plans for Mars that involve sending robots to collect materials needed for a colony would be a good idea, same goes for other planets - we could maybe send an observation satellite that can send data back, that could always be used for a later ship to use en route to plan and adapt.

But, that's just my personal opinion.
Do we need better open-source tools? Yes.
Must be one of the iPhone 3D versions - the iPad version ran really hot in alpha and had major battery drain.
Either that or someone said something to Siri about camel toe and she got all red.
You don't have clearance.
I was watching a podcast of G4TV at the time, and I noticed that all of Sarah Underwood's clothes jumped a meter to the left.
Does that count?
Three things. First, there are two current nuclear powers in the Middle East, Israel and Pakistan
Bzzt. Wrong.
There are more.

Mostly due to This Hour Has 22 Minutes and the move to Internet by the province.
Which you can follow on twitter.

But that would be obvious.
And impossible to defeat.
are geeks able to produce autistic children by just "meeting"?
Of course they aren't, they need a petri dish.

The US doesn't have a military draft, and hasn't had one for 40 years.
You obviously have never had a relative called back into action 20 years after they served.

Nah, have to change too much and reload stuff.
Easier to just give the old machine away and buy an octo-core replacement instead for $600.

It was replaced with Flying Chair Ballmer.
Look, I'm typing this on a WinXP machine. I've got a WinXP laptop at home.
Sure, I make quad-core or octo-core Win7 dual boot machines for playing WoW, but why bother downgrading to a slower OS like the "upgrades" from WinXP?
We have Linux if we want real additional features.

Pern, anyone?
I find to run most modern WoW content you're better off with a quad-core 1TB or 2TB machine with DRAM3
Running Win7 or better.
The End of the World of Warcraft is not yet here.
It will be started when a dwarf and his friends take on the unkillable player and a father gives up his life to save his son.
(cue South Park music)
Have to agree that the addition of Murlocs as a playable race, not just pets, is a needed addition to the game.
Actually, pandas as a playable race in RPGs predate the whole MMORPG experience by quite a few decades.
Most instances were, in fact, monks.
I'm surprised you don't remember your gaming history.
And that's just the US/Euro gaming market - you can see them in Asian gaming even further back than that.
I for one welcome our Kung Fu Panda overlords ... um, I meant Pandarian Monk overlords.
Squirrel!
You should have seen some of that K-S fanfic .. even by today's standards it was white hot (and mostly written by young women).
