This paper has been cited before and the biggest problem with this paper is:

In a journal that is (co-) owned by the institute that hosts the scientist submitting the paper. Even if what they claim is true they massively weakened their argument by essentially self-publishing it without proper peer review (in a different journal).

Cancer based Linux... If Ballmer had any say on it.

Our DNA, or DNA in general does not repair itself. There are specialized enzymes that detect damaged/broken parts and specifically repair those parts. DNA on its own would just continue getting damaged without them.

The only thing I'm interested in is: will the bootloader only accept signed images? If yes I'll pass.
For a device to ship with such heavy customization I doubt anyone will care (or even have to resources) to keep it updated. Even the big names don't do it - since they rather you buy a new device next year. I also doubt people will line up to make extra versions of their apps for just this (Android) tablet (sorry but you do not have the Apple RDF).

Oh noes...

In other words anyone running an app from the app-store has already agreed to the use this data - see: http://apple.slashdot.org/story/10/06/22/0318202/Apple-Wants-To-Share-Your-Location-With-Others

We'll for the time being I'll stick with my run-of-the-mill dumb-phone :)

Probably amplification of the larger DNA fragments.

Neither of which seems to apply to Gnome et al.
One of my big complaints about Linux, the slow GUIs. I have several machines running linux and the most pleasant ones to work with are the ones I connect to by SSH only. The dual boot machines - I really dislike doing things in Xfce/Gnome/KDE. The same hardware runs circles in terms of UI responsiveness when I boot Windows (XP/SP2). I'm fine with the actual boot taking longer but then it should absolutely fly!

There are some approaches with modified/fine-tuned Zinc-fingers cleaving (your own) DNA - one example see this article: http://www.health.am/aids/more/proteins-put-personalized-hiv-therapy-within-reach/

saying "You call this a knife/meat cleaver..." - there is only one tool to properly deal hack this SIM.

In case you break the SIM - just etch a new one with the integrated workbench :P

You quoted it yourself yet somehow managed to miss the almost part?

Keep up, it's not Flash vs h.264, it's Flash vs Javascript and HTML5. Video format is not at question here. You're looking for the h.264 vs Theora war, that's in a different article.

Apple being douchey about video formats doesn't change the fact that they are fully supporting open web scripting standards.

Incrementalism. There are a lot of people in government that admire the way the East Germans went about matters, and would like the U.S. to work along similar lines. They can't do it all at once, of course, but they can lay the groundwork.

This is one of the things I try to get across to so many people, but most just don't realize what a security threat their reminders are. I generally tell everyone "unless you have to put your credit card in, never use your real name." Anymore usually confuses them and they start defending their actions.

Avoiding names and dates etc will keep the majority of people out of your things. Of course, someone who has experience and knowledge of gaining access to unauthorized systems will of course still be able to do so, but the random kid won't be able to.

Yeah. Google bought YouTube so that Google could shut down its own service and replace it with YouTube.
