DNA is the marker.

Still useful for the slashdot crowd. Specifically, when you have to take a massive cheetoh shit.

You think that's disgusting? There are other body fluids that are also used, if you get my drift. Back in high school, our pitcher hit a batter with a cum ball. (The batter mad some comments about his girlfriend).

let me know when gene therapy lets me shoot bees out of my arms.

It's equally valid to say SanDisk failed (umm, violated) Moore's law.

He didn't seem to care when the first judge denied his warrant. Or the second judge. It takes three judges to approve the warrant, they're breaking department guidelines, but he only feels remorse 4 years later when the truth slowly trickles out.

LASER is an acronym from 1955. Robot is from 1921 or so but the concept (humanoid automata) isn't new. Much of star wars could be recreated on Leonardo da Vinci's ideas (flying machines, tanks, humanoid robots).

Darwin didn't use the word "evolution" because that name was associated with a different theory at the time. (Life was like a russian nesting doll, with all the children, grandchildren, etc already pre-fabricated).

It's like Barack Obama says - "you didn't build that". Providing pre-compiled software is dangerous since it teaches people that FREE Software and Open Source are about price. I don't provide pre-compiled binaries or documentation for my code. I also intentionally leave in some easy to fix bugs. My users need to edit and compile the source code to run it. My users need to read the source code to understand the cryptic error messages. That's the only way they'll truly appreciate Open Source software.

They're pushing google drive for downloads. That makes sense on a couple levels -- forced encouragement of google drive and removing redundant functionality -- but this is google so you have to wonder what's next. So... what is next? Will you need to login with google+ to download? Maybe click a few adds before your download begins? Auto download Chrome for you, just in case?

It helps if you're a minority like Elon Musk (African-American).

It's actually Google Fart. Another casualty of autocorrect.

The Dart source code is BSD licensed, available on Google Code (hmm... I wonder when Google Code will get shut down...)

One of the contention points in the WebKit/Blink split was support for non-JS languages. Chrome (and Opera, Google's bitch) will, I suppose, support it, but Firefox, Safari and IE? Then again, IE used to support VBScript and PerlScript back in the day, so maybe Google could do an IE/Dart plugin.

Being killed off is better than the alternative -- forced integration with google+. Will they require you to login to google+ to run the javascript transpiler? Will they auto-post your error log to your google+ page? Will they remove the "+" operator (like they did with search)? Who knows!

PINE Is Not EMACS.
