Apple disabled the Java plugin via the XProtect plist, which now means that I am totally unable to log in to online banking in Denmark on any Mac. It's a bit of a disaster.

What would be great is if you could use the trackpad a lot like a loupe. Imagine a small touchscreen device that shows a certain magnification of the screen. Zoom out on the loupe, and it acts like a standard trackpad. Zoom in on the loupe,

Looks like it has basic support for annotations, but is limited in its scope. I'm hoping I can use this to read annotations from PDFs so I can hook it into a journal paper reading/organisation workflow.

I was interested to see what criteria were used to measure performance, but I haven't found a paper written about it. The most detailed information I could find was from here: http://www.pancan.org/section_research/strategic_research_pr...

I'm joint EU and Australian - so that's probably why I had the points system in my head. There's no points system for the first three months. There are, however, restrictions on EU citizens after three months, as you need a registration cer

I think the overqualified here probably is in respect to the points system. You gain points for the level of education that you have, what your nationality is etc. For example, I've got points to burn here being an EU national with a bevy o

I'm afraid it isn't the most in-depth of a write-up! I'm a postdoc computational biologist at the Copenhagen Center for Glycomics, so you could say this is somewhat up my alley ;) Feel free to fire off an email (in the profile) if you've go

The common factors in this are having smart people looking at it, unfortunately. We're working on various ideas to become much more efficient at it, but it's a really hard slog.

Well, once you pinpoint a potential mutation on a gene - that gives you a starting point into the pathway that could be possibly producing this particular disease. From there, it's sort of like clicking outwards from a wikipedia page, excep

First thoughts reading up on this pretty cool bit of detective work: Since this is a deficiency in production of Pngase F, I'm not sure a simple injection of Pngase F is going to work. I'd guess you'd need to target Pngase F into the ER to

I am always puzzled when people rail against the long process of getting a PhD, as if this is a symptom of the lumbering university system. I consider the PhD a maker's schedule for the big problems. There are two types of complexity that y

And that bucket that you put your intermediate data in will be by itself pretty large. Or any processing that you do on this data will be computationally expensive. Either way, Amazon is attracting some new customers.

What I think you're alluding to is something like this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/may/20/craig-venter-s... I haven't been following the progress for the past year and a half or so, but it was state of the art then. Long story

I'm still not 100% sold on these big sequencing projects. Sure, you get the genomes of a bunch of individuals, and then you do a bunch of GWAS on it to see if you can find some mutations that are linked to any phenotypes. It just doesn't se

I'd love an Android version of this that hooks up into the calendars that I sync. I love the idea that I can automatically let people know roughly where I am (or more importantly, others are) if I'm running late to a meeting. A cool feature

It turns out the first paragraph in the paper gives a good indication for me – it's pretty much all over the shop, which makes the lack of toxicity here pretty interesting.

I'm not familiar enough with CD47 to know where else it is expressed, but I'm wondering what the "regular" use of CD47 is. Since it's over-expressed in cancers, I'm assuming the cancer is somehow mucking up the regulation pathway for CD47 a

I'm hoping that all that link love will push MDN up over w3schools in google search results. I always have to append MDN to my query terms to get the documentation I'm after. I'm never logged in to google, so I can't block all results from

Actually, the 2004 interview on the Daily show starts with "How are you? / It's a bit early to say, too early to tell". He doesn't get asked how he is in the 2005 interview.

I've just spent the last 10 minutes attempting to violate causality. It turns out that the implementation is a little bit sketchy when trying to add "Life events" that occur before you're born. I'm kind of looking forward to recreating all

Plant bioinformatician here. Long story cut short, not much until we get the whole genome built, and a bucketload of plants grown. There's a lot more work on the wet lab side to be done. I'm guessing there aren't the genomic tools in place

I wholeheartedly agree on points 2 and 3 - In fact, I've known scientists that were loathe to send BLAST jobs out to external servers. Another point is that I've yet to see any core facilities that are running idle. Our core facility mass s

Yeah, I kind of agree on this. That said, the guy is a mechanical engineer at ANL, so I wouldn't take it as a sanctioned response from ANL. Claiming that the other corn isn't used in food production is disingenuous by the guy, since it is b
