What should I study if my goal is to work in bioinformatics? by mecrioin compsci

[–]AcademGreen 4 points5 points ago

I'd read a simple survey on bioinformatics first to see what exactly in the field interests you. Bioinformatics is a large field.

Regardless of the exact domain, concentrate on getting a firm understanding of algorithm design, parallel computing, probability, and statistics. A firm foundation in those four areas will give you the basics to improve or create new methods.

Can someone help me figure out how to delete a bootcamp partition? by WheatBradin applehelp

[–]AcademGreen 3 points4 points ago

When I deleted my BootCamp partition in Lion, I did it through the BootCamp Assistant. My understanding is partitioning and overall behavior of BootCamp 4 (in Lion) is different from BootCamp 3 (in SL), so the one with Snow Leopard might not understand your setup. My advice is to make sure that you are using the BootCamp 4 assistant (download if needed) try again.

James Cameron's Trillion-Dollar Question -- "Is it legally possible to stake a claim to an asteroid in the first place?" by JeromeTomorrowin TrueReddit

Suddenly the discussion of what constitutes a planet is a lot more interesting.

Stripped-out Michigan Central Station, which has been abandoned since 1988. [OS?] [2584x1793] by a_lot_of_fishin AbandonedPorn

[–]AcademGreen 0 points1 point ago

It's owned by the guy that owns the bridge in Detroit between Michigan and Canada. He can't be trusted, and I doubt if he'll do anything to the Michigan Central Station other than use it to his political advantage.

Operating Systems class - C++ or Java? by theIR3AS0Nin compsci

[–]AcademGreen 1 point2 points ago

Agreed. When I took an OS course as an undergraduate, we had the option of writing our assignments in c or c++. I went with c. It was a nice experience coming from a mainly c++ based curriculum.

It could just be that the assignments are things like implementing scheduling algorithms or the like instead of tearing into any one particular OS.

Okay reddit. Max decided to rape itself. Get in here. Thanks. by vodkasasquatchin applehelp

Try holding shift in startup. See if you can enter safe mode.

Connected external monitor isn't showing max resolutions. by An_Emo_Dinosaurin applehelp

[–]AcademGreen 0 points1 point ago*

Try this guide.

Some monitor settings are stored at:

/System/Library/Displays/Overrides

The directory contains "DisplayVendorID-" folders. To find the folder for your display, type in terminal:

ioreg -l -x -w0 | grep DisplayVendorID

Edit: this page might also be helpful.

I'm not an expert about this particular area, but this should give you a good place to start.

It's not security unless it's done against your will.

I guess I made my point too strongly. They will bend. Just not like the picture.

If somebody woke up from a 10-year-long coma, what would you tell them? by DanTheKarmaMANin AskReddit

[–]AcademGreen 0 points1 point ago

Shhh... it's all just a bad dream. Go back to sleep.

Tech Support by MastaShortiein funny

[–]AcademGreen -4 points-3 points ago

I've known more than one thin mac laptop that ended that way. They can and do bend, even with pressure from being pressed against your back when you bike.

What's the cheapest Chinese takeout that doesn't taste like crap? by derocsin msu

In the EL area, I like Golden Wok.

Patrick on Detroit by Crazy_G1raffein Detroit

[–]AcademGreen 6 points7 points ago

A plan like that requires maintenance, policing, insurance, management, and a plan to get them out of the system in the long-term. All of that requires sustained taxpayer resources. Plus, there is a portion of the homeless population that simply can't not be homeless; they aren't equipped psychologically for it.

"Pink Slime" manufacturer turns out to be a major Romney donor by ttruth1in politics

[–]AcademGreen 0 points1 point ago

How about "ground beef" is still ground beef; specialty products would have to use a different term. I don't believe the "common knowledge" argument for a reason to change the definition; most people don't know what's in "pure" orange juice or know that milk isn't just straight from the cow to their lips. Anything with consistant quality and taste is processed.

Individual states might have different laws, but to the USDA ground beef is defined by it being made of cow without a particular set of non-cow additives. It's always been a way of disposing of parts of the cow that can't be sold without being ground up.
