There’s a difference between sequencing the genome of DNA, which the article talks about, and retrieving DNA strands intact. The latter is akin to getting the book, the former is a…

The comment you're replying to makes the point that if you already had a charger, you could use the old charger and the old cable. There is no requirement to use the new cable that…

I use 'Kill Sticky' to get around these popovers. Usually it works. Sometimes scrolling is broken. But it's usually better than clicking 'ok'. https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-s…

This article is based on the Ericsson Mobility Report. The report discusses smartphone subscriptions, not users, reaching 6.1B. An interesting statistic from the report is that 90%…

I agree this is a great cause, but did I miss why there is only 1 day to go until a goal is reached? They don't explain the consequences of only getting USD1.48 million instead of …

Because if it's funded by the Government then it becomes a Government TV station. Using a 'BBC' method where there is a law requiring the license fee to be paid and allows for a th…

It's more than 'no big deal' because it does it irrespective of the Safari 'Private Browsing' feature.

They take a hash of every X MB of your data before upload. If the hash already exists, then they don't upload it. You just get added to the access list for that particular chunk al…
