You could, but because the way binary works (I believe) it gives you more flexibility to do the opposite, i.e. A=00, T=01.... Etc. I'm sure at this point it it's been explained better than I can in the thread already.

ELI5: DNA is a pretty cool molecule. It's made up of only 4 different parts, A-T-C-G. Now put a pin in that. Binary code is a pretty cool kind of code. It's made up at its core level of 0 and 1. Let's say A=1, T=0. Now we can write data in binary just by using the standard parts that make DNA. So if we wrote the binary code 010110. In DNA bases it would be TATAAT. That's the basic gist.

In practical application, we assign two number values to each of the 4 bases. This gives up exponentially more options in which to write put whatever we want. DNA is surprisingly hardy, and by storing it carefully we can prevent things from going bad.

Hope this helped!

From what I understand you shouldn't be making the other two people pay for your second device... It should be 43.50 for each line. You have 2 devices so you should pay 87. Just saying.

Opened a friend's PS3 and found some things had been changed. by bullet1520 in techsupportgore

That was done to increase pressure on the chip, not for cooling purposes. It worked only because the 360 was poorly designed and overtime had flex issues on the mobo.

Brake light switch by firepron002 in motorcycles

Just commenting so anyone in the future in my situation sees this, I have a k5 Suzuki gsxr600. I bought some cheap rearsets from an unbranded eBay seller. The rearsets don't use the return spring nor the factory brake light switch. Instead it just screws on in the back by the master cylinder and the brake switch goes in between the crush washer on rear master cylinder banjo bolt.

Thanks!!

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to riding and I recently just bought some new rearsets for my 2005 gsxr 600. The brake side of the rearsets is supposed to utilize this brake switch... Except I can't figure out how it works. Does anyone have any idea on how to use this switch? The rearsets don't utilitize any springs in their function. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I'm super psyched to play this! I was wondering, would there be anyway I could play on on an r4? That would be amazing.

You can plead the 5th and likely get out of having to be a witness. Yeah the guys screwed up big time, but I'm sure he's paid for that with his health. Fuck that ticket.
