@Harpsichord: Sol. Sol Roseburg.

@im2fools: She actually looks wayyyy better than this now. Great for her. Too bad her failure pile of an ex husband is getting paroled next year.

I'm pretty sure that girl can brush off her knees without bending over. Those are some long arms.

@Gary_7vn: Thanks to you mentioning Myanmar, I just spent the past hour reading about the history of Burma. Damn you, wikipedia. And from the looks of it, let's not compare anything to Burma. Faults aside, their Paduuk Characters and the fact that they drive on the right makes them A-OK.

@bdinger: It's a good point; it's entirely subjective. For those of us with the fortitude to live alone in the crazy, crazy world, I admit that I've been comfortable, no matter the size, as long as it's all my own space.

@bdinger: Comfortable home? Look at the guy, you have to be "sitting" before you can even get to the "couch" which is probably a futon that got saws-all'ed in half and jammed into the wall. I think my couch is 25% of the footprint of his apartment.

@the-resonator: That's a good point, I didn't realize that. Go MATTE!

@Pessimippopotamus: Yeh, I meant a store-bought last gen. Mine is the Falcon version and no problems yet *fingers crossed*.

Couple of my buds who are PS guys ran out to get the older ones because they are cheaper. I prefer my Elite for it's curves and matte black. The noticeable dust on a Slim would drive me nuts.

I hope everyone gets a boat, else you might be on an inverted-island prison.

@comrade_leviathan: (As an aside, stars are from Gawker. Sign into Gizmodo with your io9 credentials, and bingbangboom, you are starred.)

@Kaiser-Machead v.2.1.1: I kicked my desk over and threw my monitor at the wall because she's so hott.

Alex Trebek: "This encryption code written by mathematician McEliece does not use factorization..."

Where can I get one of those shirts? Gimme one of those giant pink ones, I don't care.

@lldsandsFLll: Ironically, that is about half of what you should be getting let about 20%, so I guess you're lucky. Don't forget to convert your bits to bytes.

@Pininfarina: jepzilla makes a good point about this. Probabilistic solutions can still give you deterministic results, if the results are within the boundaries of your confidence.

@El Guano: @triplenine above me gave a very good response, check it out. I like this video a lot, that's a neat simulation to run. And it makes a great point against my chicken-egg attack. +1 to fancy non-self-aware set of blueprints. Thanks for finding that.

@triplenine: This is a great response. What I had meant be my previous response was that what he said sounded more true. I suppose the codons in the amino acids do not necessarily need to have be yes or no answer to describe what happens in a chemical gradient. Nature is fk'ing my mind right now.

@El Guano: That's a good point. I considered that the instructions for "baking the cake" are inherently included in the cake / genome lunch box recipe.

If he's a crackpot, then Mr. PZ Meyers must also consider that a slew of other scientists are crackpots. As Carl Sagan (most notably) pointed out, the genome is obviously comparable to bits and bytes in the sense that it is a switch. He used the analogy for the genome being a large game of 20 Questions. How is that…
