    Oh, thank you mbone. This will be my top card from now on.

    What a piece of shit country I am living in.

    > that anything consenting adults want to do is NOT a crime

    Why don't you start with something less detrimental to society than drugs, say polygamy?

    Then tell me how it goes.

    You are still an idiot, that persists in his idiocy.

    You have no idea what religion is.

    You are an idiot.

    That's how Muslims live.

    >Somehow it seems as if our own politicians hate our freedom more than the terrorists supposedly do...

    As one of the "terrorists" (read, Muslims who worth a grain of salt), this is because those are completely different freedoms: spying on your own citizens is prohibited in Islam (hadith of "poking the eye"), while your government enjoys it.

  10. Re:Oddly... I have a clue about this stuff lately on The DNA Data Deluge · · Score: 1

    >I need is raw machine data

    Too bad genome centers disagree with you (I, au contraire, agree with you). We need raw NMR data for structures as well.

  11. Re:Storage Non-Problem - Sequences Compresses to M on The DNA Data Deluge · · Score: 1

    Does it say something about handling this way also internal repeats?

    Since when an arbitrary curve with extremum gets a name each time it applies to a phenomenon.

  14. cross-eye on Disney Research Creates Megastereo - Panoramas With Depth · · Score: 1

    I repeat: cross-eye is the only stereogram that does not require additional equipment AND allows normal 2D view if you do not feel like crossing your eye.

    Why protein structure journals got it for at least 20 years now and general purpose 3D photography cannot get it?

  15. Re:So... on Altering Text In eBooks To Track Pirates · · Score: 1

  16. this is literally the most idiotic bullshit on Google's Crazy Lack of Focus: Is It Really Serious About Enterprise? · · Score: 1, Troll

    this is literally the most idiotic bullshit I have seen recently on reddit. Good job, Soulskill

  17. Re:RIP VMS on HP Discontinue OpenVMS · · Score: 1

    When I was working on microVAX in the 80s I was impressed the most that by default every single copy of the file edit was saved in a separate version file. There was a PURGE command that deleted them if you wanted. It also had vector-graphics display: an awesome tool to display protein structures.

    Later on, SGE beat them in graphics and then in turn was defeated by Linux and Windows.By that time graphics did not matter much already.

  18. Re:Am I missing something? on Dell's New X18: 5 Pounds, 18 Inches · · Score: 1

    I am curious about cooling of this thing. Something tells me that cooling will be compromised if I take this 5 pound 20 inch board to my bed. Unless I misunderstood "taking upstairs ...before bed..."...

    Overheating is becoming a major problem in portable devices.

  19. Re:Obligatory on In Praise of the King: 1.7M Social Media Comments In Thailand · · Score: 1

    And here is my obligatory answer to this type of comment.

    In Soviet times, you can tell what period by the context:

    Reagan meets Brezhnev and calls him to freedom of speech:

    - In my country, people can go in front of Kremlin and shout "Reagan is an idiot".

    Brezhnev replies,

    - Well, this is allowed in my country too: you can go in front of Kremlin and shout "Reagan is an idiot".

    The point here is that you are shouting "The King is an idiot" in front of your computer anonymously.

  20. Typical bullshit science on English May Have Retained Words From an Ice Age Language · · Score: 1

    Typical bullshit science. How to detect it? Very easy: if there is a phrase "million years" in it (in this case "ten thousand years"), then it's bullshit.

    This is as idiotic as storing data on DNA.

    So go ahead.

  23. I will go out on a limb and say that every single office that creates content will need a normal PC with a normal input. Touch has been there forever in blue collar jobs: restaurants, car service.

    The only revolution we see related to touch is entertainment and mobile computing. Tablets are pretty convenient when you watch movies and browse internet in bed and smartphones are convenient for doing the same in the subway.

    All other areas are pretty much unaffected.

  25. This is going one of those laws that nobody follow on Should California Have Banned Checking Smartphone Maps While Driving? · · Score: 1

    It has been that way since the dawn of times. 13 years ago two of my buddies bought luxury SUVs, one of them got it with GPS that would not even allow you to touch itself unless you turn off your vehicle. The other one got GPS that could not care less.

    This is going one of those laws that nobody follows and hard to enforce...
