    >Have no problem with it?

    I have a common sense problem with it. Not a lot of people have problem with restricting access to pornography compared to number of people that will have a problem with restricting access to Islamic sites or Christian sites.

    My view is that a right worth as much as how much people are going to fight for it.

    I know people who sacrificing their life for Islam and do not know people sacrificing their life for pornography.

    Do YOU have a problem with that?

    How about the whole attitude of the governments in developed countries "to prevent" crime?

    It started with the recognition of the right of the shitty Middle Eastern state called "israel" to "preventive" strikes in the 70s, then the excuse to "prevent" something is used universally and pervasively through all spheres of government/private citizen interaction.

    Stupid speed limits (55mph) on highways, stupid laws on school buses, stupid TSA, the hunt for any Muslim who dares to estalblish Shariah in his own land by hand.

    > Not scientists.

    There are plenty of scientists who are articulated and informed (even if he is informed, he did not yet let us get a chance to learn about it). The fact that they do not speak to general audience about their science, is because there is no need to do that. Nobody benefits from that. You need to do that in school, but it has very little sense to do it after 15.

    Those scientists speak very articulately and in a very informed way among peers, that is people who need that.

    The sequencing data produced is of inferior quality than 10 years ago. Somebody might be weeping with joy, but not the assemblers downstream in this data flow.

    Ironically, previously quality did not matter much, when mapping genes was good enough. Nowadays when we are talking SNPs, reads are arguing with each other, MiSeq assemblies in disarray with Ion Torrent. Every sequence variation in alignment is screaming "I am Spartacus".
