I agree, SETI would be great. But whoa, it would be a huge amount of work to open-source it. - Daniel Dulitz

have a great time Rajarshi - which city? - Jean-Claude Bradley

Have fun! Will miss your patch reviewing powers! - Egon Willighagen

The Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) has a new graphics functionality allowing protein visualization in Ray-Tracing quality by using GPU programming. - joergkurtwegner

Congratulations. - Michael Barton

Stunning graph: the median age has increased by nearly half a year per year for the past 35 years. - Michael Nielsen

Drexler addresses my issue in a follow up comment in the link that Nielsen posted above. Yes, there is a skew in the age of first granting. - dubbio

Mmmh, is some scripting not easier? - joergkurtwegner

I'm be inclined to script most of my own PDB munging operations but, from what I can tell, occasionally people still hand edit parts of them. I received an edited PDB file back from a curator at the PDB a few years ago that had some problems introduced by what appeared to be typos from hand editing. Maybe this tool would have helped :) - Andrew Perry from Android

Good, but very basic. Looks like they're just trying to bring standard OSS techniques to bioinformatics. - Donnie Berkholz

It is basic, but you'll be surprised how little of that happens. - Deepak Singh

I think publishing these very basic guides is "A Good Thing" - but I don't know that bioinformatics/computational biology journals is the right place. The readership of those journals tends to be those who find the information too basic. Might be better to publish such material in biological science journals - Nature Biotech, for example, runs a very good introductory maths/stats/computing series. - Neil Saunders

By conventional photolitography, Sokolov and colleagues from Argonne National Laboratory, report on PNAS the design of microscopic gears (6 ug mass) able to extract useful work from swimming Bacillus subtilis. According to their calculations, few hundred bacteria work together in order to turn the gear at a velocity of 1-2 rpm, generating femtowatt power. - Iddo Friedberg from Bookmarklet

I guess the answer is "yes"... http://www.rowland.harvard.edu/labs... - Iddo Friedberg

"KINGSTON, Jamaica (AP) - An American Airlines flight carrying 154 people skidded across a Jamaican runway in heavy rain, bouncing across the tarmac and injuring more than 40 people before it stopped just short of the Caribbean Sea, officials and witnesses said. Panicked passengers screamed and baggage burst from overhead bins as Flight 331 from Miami careened down the runway in the capital, Kingston, on Tuesday night, one passenger said. The impact cracked open the fuselage, crushed the left landing gear and separated both engines from the Boeing 737-800, airline spokesman Tim Smith said." - bob from Bookmarklet

The original has dying angels... I wonder about the death rate cause scientists are so bloody sloppy... - Egon Willighagen

That is... if we were more accurate, would science have progressed further, finding earlier and better cures? - Egon Willighagen

Maybe not, but we might avoid spending money on useless things. - Paulo Nuin

recommendation of CC0 and ODbL is nice, funny to consider how few appropriate licenses there are, especially compared with open source - Mike Chelen
