Even now, there may be an identical twin zygote in a freezer from a former in vitro fertilization that can be thawed. So while the accessibility of this option can be increased by cloning, it wouldn't be a new sort of ethical problem, it would perhaps be a new societal issue.

Use one half of an iPad!

> It's close enough to 16:9 that watching movies isn't problematic. Particularly since most are made by taking a 16:9 resolution and adding some height.

It's the glueing that is the hard part.

> Square monitors are best in a sense

Shame that none of the 1:1 monitors I found was rotatable. Bummer!

I don't understand. On a 16:9 monitor, there is usually quite large bands on top and bottom. So 16:9 does not seem to be a movie format, isn't 21:9 better in that regard? I'm just asking about the film aspect, not the productivity etc. aspect.

> Even better IMO. A move in the right, rather than wrong, direction.

It's not a move in any direction. 1280x1024 displays have been around since the Cretaceous.My problem is that while they are good for single-window operations, I prefer working with two windows side by side, and for that 16:10 is best and 16:9 is acceptable. Splitting a 5:4 screen will result in too narrow windows, or a gargantuan LCD panel height, even if we forget about the fact that 1280x1024 is a decent resolution only on a mobile phone and lower-end tablets.

Mod parent up, finally someone who can step away from the shallow dismissive "thinking" that characterizes 90% of posters here.

Riiight. Police can work with one set of evidence and confirm it with a DNA match, but not the other way around. Sounds logical. Probably the Dutch police / justice system does not employ even one person who is a statistician. They should come straight to Slashdot if they want to have a clue and just release the raper already.

> It's strange that he volunteered a DNA sample. Hopefully that's just because most criminals are dumb, and not because he's being wrongly accused.

How is it not already a dumb move, to say the least, to kill someone?

Riight, it'll be so straightforward for you to verify that rock-solid assurance, I see how you'll become convinced. All these police investigations are so transparent anyway, and of course there is no value at all in retaining your and thousands of others' DNA for future investigations of murder.

Yes, like posting on facebook and kindly ask the murdeder to come forth? Get real, man.

Someone in the middle ages conceptualized the modern car. Others thought it can't possibly work because it would destroy the gate when the driver arrives home. They didn't think it would be possible to park _near_ the house and walk a bit of distance, rather than crashing into the gate. It'a just as inconceivable that an Alcubierre spaceship aimed at slightly off of the destination, and after deceleration, slowly and carefully arrived at the spaceport from an angle.

a dead salmon.

Yes, they have said as much in their press release: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/everspin-debuts-first-spin-torque-140000887.html

> I seem to recall the major feature of any electronic calculator was the ability to write 80085 and make your classmates giggle.

Isn't it 8085?
