one step closer to aritficial life

[Eastoff]

here is the link.

here is an opening quote:

They created the synthetic membranes from a watery emulsion of an oil and a detergent. Alone it’s stable. Add copper ions and sturdy vesicles and tubules begin to bud off the oil droplets. After 24 hours, the oil droplets are gone, “consumed” by the self-assembling membranes

Although other scientists recently announced the creation of a “synthetic cell,” only its genome was artificial. The rest was a hijacked bacterial cell. Fully artificial life will require the union of both an information-carrying genome and a three-dimensional structure to house it.

We already know how this story ends.

actually it ends like this

Doesn't display on mine either. I'm curious to see what it is

I did open in another page and it worked fine.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

wow all this buildup kinda placed unpossible to reach expectations on my cleverly thought out retort, i guess what they say is true, timing is everything

double win, all your caches are pieces of shit too

Damn. Now I've got to go upgrade my cache...

i bought mine on ebay for $179, i could let it go to you for $120, i havent really used it much, and i clean it regularly

Can you throw in some cookies to sweeten the deal?

 

[ABM]

From goo to you, via the zoo.

Makes total sense to moi.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Can you throw in some cookies to sweeten the deal?

yes, but not sweet ones. i will sweeten the deal with non sweetened cookies

the delivery details are as follows

i will send you an email with a .exe file, extract it and run as admin, it will place all of my cookies into your cache. at this point, your computer will be red flagged with the fbi, do not fret, it is all part of the recipe. bake at 425 for 6 minutes then immediately place yourself in handcuffs

Sounds perfect! My wallet's in the car!

you can just pay me with a healthy portion of your scsi cable

 

[TripTango]

I don't use those. They sound so dirty.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

oh i was using innuendo. you can pay me in cock meat

 

[TripTango]

oh i was using innuendo. you can pay me in cock meat

Will this do?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i can make it work, i can scratch his nails down my back, cover him in mud, and then eat him, becoming a dirty cock gobbler

I'm still waiting for the day that science can take inatimate and make it organic without using living cells.

Example: All the components that make up DNA, and fuse it. Then the next step would learn how to program it.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

im still waiting for manbearpig

if i was super secret smoking man cia dude, i would for sure have marilyn monroe clones serving me drinks, and clone einstien to try and figure out the stock market, and hitler as my fluffer

so does this count?

 

[magnifier661]

so does this count?

Instead, Venter and his colleagues started with many relatively small pieces of DNA. Then the scientists transferred DNA pieces back and forth between a yeast cell and E. coli bacteria, turning the many short pieces into fewer but longer DNA segments.
Once the synthetic DNA segment reached the desired length the scientists injected it into a Mycoplasma bacterium that had had its own DNA removed earlier. Needless to say, the process of assembling such a lengthy piece of synthetic DNA was complicated.

Looks like they used life to create life. Or do I have some reading comprehension problem?

 

[Denny Crane]

They've made life forms using DNA they made from organic compounds, and put that DNA into the husk of a bacteria cell.

It's cheating, in my book, though impressive nonetheless.

 

[MadeFromDust]

It's pretty ironic how blind, dead matter can do a better job at creating life by accident than these brilliant scientists, huh?
