[QUOTE=Rauha;1426479]It's just DNA with non-standard base pairs. Boring for a molecular biologist (like me). Non-standard genetic codes always get wiped out by natural selection, they just hinder lateral gene transfer too much. And we go the last 4 billion years of evolution as evidence for that. It will neither saves us from nothing, nor is it any threat to us.

Apart from the brainless hyperbole in your link, which is a good example of the sort of idiocy that threatens us. Complete ignorance of actual understanding of real nature -and how it works- is evident on your link.

Sorry for bringing reality into this Dave's thread of nonsense.[/QUOT

I digress to your greater knowledge.
I am no molecular biologist
Upon your elucidation....
THAT is a letdown!
I was hoping...

endsormeans <-- Your quote failed.

And yo make you happy after this I will give you a chuck attack...




The best chuck norris joke this week will win something sometimes somewhere.

Ach dave999 you sure can cheer a guy up
BTW That "quot" wasn't mine...just accidentally butchered the "quot" of Rauha's
Personally I don't think your threads are nonsense....
A light-hearted thread is a great thing in TMO..
better levity than brevity IMO ...

Couldn't agree more.

Google’s self-driving car prototype is here: No steering wheel, accelerator or brake



Google’s self-driving car is no secret. The Search giant has now built some prototypes. Yes, you heard it right. The Google car is for real, and interestingly comes without a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal, as a car driver won’t need any of it. The software and sensors do all the driving.



In its official blog post, Google reveals, “The vehicles will be very basic—we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible—but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button. And that’s an important step toward improving road safety and transforming mobility for millions of people. “



For now, it is a cute-looking ptototype that would remind you of Tata Nano. If the technology develops, Google plans to work with partners to bring this technology into the world safely. Talking about the interiors, the car has two seats and some space for passengers’ belongings. “On the inside, we’ve designed for learning, not luxury, so we’re light on creature comforts, but we’ll have two seats (with seatbelts), a space for passengers’ belongings, buttons to start and stop, and a screen that shows the route—and that’s about it,” adds the blog.



Basically, at the push of a button, the car safely takes you to your destination, says Google. It has been designed keeping safety in mind. The self-driving Google car is infused with sensors that can remove blind spots and detect distant objects. For now, the speed limit has been capped to 25mph. With the new car, drunk and distracted driving will be history, says Google.

Google plans to build a hundred prototype vehicles, and later this summer, the company’s safety drivers will start testing early versions of these vehicles that have manual controls. Google also plans to run a small pilot program in California in the next couple of years, provided all goes well.

There should be manul analogue controls hidden somewhere.

Only Dave can find out the hidden controls
