chris_99is it possible to cross-breed yeast if that's the correct term, so if i for example extracted the DNA from a pure yeast culture, could i introduce it into another culture?05:07
@fennyes, but that's usually called transfection or transformation05:18
chris_99thanks, i didn't know the correct terminology05:19
chris_99if i was to do that at home, could i then culture the new yeast, and perform electrophoresis, to see whether i had actually modified it compared to the results from the original yeasts05:21
@fennit's worth noting that yeast can reproduce sexually05:21
chris_99i thought they where asexual05:22
@fennswings both ways05:22
@fennare you talking about DNA fingerprinting?05:24
chris_99i was yeah, but i didn't thinking brewers yeast interbred, because it uses mitosis doesn't it05:25
@fenni dont actually know whether meiotic recombination is higher efficiency than electroporation05:31
@fenneither way you'll probably have to select for a trait05:32
@fennthis is a bit too hypothetical for me05:32
chris_99"When diploid cells begin to run out of food, they undergo meiosis" didn't know that.  Cheers for you're help, i'll do some more reading05:42

SkittyplusHey guys, I've found about about this community and I'm really interested in knowing more08:28
SkittyplusI've been looking into the implications of whats theoretically possible in the future through biohacking and understanding genomics and now I want to know everything I can to get started08:30
SkittyplusAnyone do any biohacking here?08:31
Skittyplusor anyone know anything about genomes?08:31
chris_99have a look at the wiki in the topic btw theres lots of useful stuff, also this book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Molecular-Biology-Cell-Bruce-Alberts/dp/0815341067 is cool08:34
SkittyplusThat book looks interesting I may take a look at it sometime08:45
@fenn"the implications of what's theoretically possible in the future" makes me think of orion's arm08:51
@fennSkittyplus: i'm afraid there's a huge gap between how genetic engineering is actually practiced and how it's talked about08:52
Mariufenn: any news of Orion's Arm MMO ?08:53
@fennno idea, sorry08:54

Skittyplusfenn: I'm starting to realize that, but even if theres a huge gap I don't mind, that means there is  a lot more to be discovered09:00
SkittyplusIt's good to be an early adopter of things :)09:00
SkittyplusThat's not to say there isn't amazing things going on right now either. The whole fact that biology is begining to be practiced by non-universities and corporations is a giant leap in the right direction09:02
@fenndepends on your definition i guess09:03

nmz787kanzure: any ideas for how to add a timeout for touch events in android?18:16
nmz787i'm using jcrop and it's hard to scroll18:16
nmz787because it doesn't differentiate betweena scroll tap and a crop tap18:17
@kanzurethere's a getLongPressTimeout18:31
@kanzurehttp://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewConfiguration.html18:31
@kanzureiirc it's something about overriding onTouchEvent and adding in your own callback that gets triggered after some amount of time18:33
@kanzurepossibly android.view.GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener18:33
nmz787is that in jquery?18:47
nmz787i'm working on a web page18:47
@kanzurei assumed you meant you were working in java18:47
@kanzureanyway in javascript you'll have to bind some event handlers to click/tap/mousedown/mouseup/mousemove.18:48
@kanzurelike this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/2625240/68778318:49

@fenni haven't looked at oscilloscopes in years.. my knowledge is rather out of date. it also depends what you want to use it for23:24
@kanzurewell, it seems dumb that probes/function generators/whatever rolled into an antique box should cost so much.23:27
@kanzuresurely you can just buy some shitbox and throw in a card and write, you know, software?23:27
@fennwell if you only want ~20kHz sampling you can use a soundcard and the "oscope" software package23:30
@fennpackage xoscope23:32
@fennit should be possible to mash together a high speed ADC, RAM, oscillator, and USB interface23:32
@fennand a counter23:32
@fenni had a project a while ago to build the "miniLA" and add an ADC, but the extremely fine-pitch soldering was a hang up23:33
@kanzurethanks, that's exactly what i wanted.23:35
@fennyou have to bypass the input filter capacitors on the soundcard if you want to measure DC signals23:36
@fennmaybe using a cheap USB soundcard is more convenient overall23:37
nmz787propscope has a creative commons schematic23:51
nmz787and propalyzer software seems pretty good23:51
nmz787all the high speed ADCs are SMD components that don't have legs to solder onto23:51
