kanzurefenn: in the case of sinusoidal alternating current going through an inductor, there's this variable Ip which represents the amplitude of the current (current is in units of amperes)11:40
kanzureso .. is an "ampere" unit supposed to have a variable attribute called "amplitude" ?11:40

ybitkanzure: aren't you a little afraid someone is going to take legal action against adl.serveftp.org?12:42
ybitperhaps an anonymous p2p solution would be better? slower but reduces the chances of prosecution12:42
kanzureuh? no?12:43
kanzurewhy would they take legal action?12:43
ybitbecause of copyright12:44
ybitthough i suppose maybe something like what the music blogs are doing would work: a little notice saying we will take down the papers if asked by the publisher, and then just put it on an anonymous p2p server...?...12:45
kanzuremusic blogs?12:45
kanzuremaybe.12:46
ybitmost researchers don't mind though, it's the journals which i'm slightly concerned about12:47

kanzurehello14:47
kanzurexp_prg: what?14:47
kanzurexp_prg: my point wasn't to expose him14:47
kanzure xp_prg just wanted him to be honest14:47
xp_prgyou exposed him as being dishonest, thanks14:53
drazak_anyone with half a brain can genotype a gene with half the equipment she has, you need a primer or two, and then you do pcr by hand, need a restriction enzyme, badabing badaboom, compare it to the expected results for the normal gene with the same DNA ladder14:56
genehackerheh one of the reasons I want to build a DNA chip synthesizer is so I can test for a whole bunch of sequences15:00
kanzuredrazak_: you should psot that15:08
kanzureseriously though. you guys need to back up some of the good ideas in here from time to time :)15:08
kanzureotherwise they'll all think I'm just crazy or something15:08
drazak_that, and you can do gel electrophoresis with half the shit the OPENBOX shit has15:16
drazak_heck, I could do it with shit from my kitchen, and a hot glue gun15:16
kanzurehot glue gun electrophoresis?15:16
drazak_12V battery, copper wire, deep large tupperware, shallow tupperware that fits inside, hotglue it inside, pour gel, add buffer, hook up battery15:17
kanzureah, well, do you have gel in your kitchen?15:18
kanzuredrazak_: you should post .15:18
drazak_well, all I'm saying is, they're making shit too fancy, you can do it pretty easy with stuff from your kitchen15:18
drazak_you could probably use food grade agarose, if you properly remove the insoluble solids15:18
drazak_kanzure: I'm lazy15:20
drazak_the main insoluble solids you have to worry about are big enough to be caught by filter paper, but that's a whole nother mess15:21
kanzureyou're all lazy :p15:30
kanzurebah15:30
* kanzure writes some code for a super star destroyer and yells at some kids to get off his laqwn15:30
kanzure*lawn15:30
drazak_I might starts doing some posts on doing shit at home without buying expensive shit15:40
genehackercool15:40
genehackerdiybio sorta sucks right now15:40
drazak_yeah, I noticed15:40
drazak_I don't read half the emails anymore, cause they're pointless15:40
genehackercompared to underground chemistry at least15:40
drazak_ooh15:41
drazak_where's that one?15:41
genehackerthe first rule of underground chemistry is do not talk about underground chemistry15:42
drazak_rofl15:42
genehackerespecially not roguesci15:42
genehackerNEVER EVER GO TO ROGUESCI15:42
genehackergo to sciencemadness instead15:42
genehackerthe people in roguesci have been exposed to  a bit too much mercury15:43
drazak_rofl15:43
drazak_have you seen the Hg beating heart?15:43
genehackerno really I'm serious15:43
drazak_HgSO4+Fe=BEATING HEART, MAN15:43
digitaltaoo_O mad alchemists 15:43
kanzureoh, it's just roguesci15:44
kanzurerougesci has been around forever15:44
drazak_I should start commenting on the safety of all of this stuff15:45
drazak_"yeah, you're going to blow yourself up, that's what blows up meth labs using the red-white-blue method"15:45
kanzureor lack thereof15:45
kanzurehaeh15:45
kanzureblah. don't listen to me and my typos.15:45
drazak_ap chemistry was funny this year15:45
drazak_everyone thought I was making shit up15:46
drazak_the teacher professor dude was talking about HNO3 being a strong oxidizer, and I mentioned that it's what blows up meth labs, and nobody believed me, and then I started talking about meth labs and their assosciated chemical processies for 10 minutes15:47
digitaltaoremember kids, dont buy large boxes of matches, buy the bulk small..... the striker pads are what you are after15:47
drazak_I has swedish fire steel15:47
drazak_I light bunsen burners with it :D15:47
digitaltaoahhh, those are fun to play with15:48
genehackerkanzure have you been to roguesci as of recently?15:48
drazak_digitaltao: I know, I strike it everywhere, and people yell at me15:48
drazak_and I'm like15:48
drazak_yeah, the distance between it and the floor is great enough that it won't ignite the carpet15:49
* drazak_ cringes15:49
kanzuregenehacker: no15:52
kanzuregenehacker: it has been more than a year15:52
genehackersome of the recent post include, "hey guys I think we could totally destroy the ecosystem with these chemicals" and "hey guys lets go sterilize half the population"15:54
genehackerI kid you not15:57
genehackerthat's why I don't go to roguesci15:58
drazak_this just screams dangerous16:00
genehackerdangerous?16:00
drazak_h2so4 lead chamber process16:00
digitaltao-made a vacuum coffee apparatus today... YAY16:00
drazak_yes dangerous16:02
genehackerdrazak know anyway I could make precursors for precursors for precursors to photolabile phosphoramidites16:03
drazak_lol16:03

drazak_and you're using KNO3 which isn't exactly safe16:03
drazak_not that it's exactly dangerous16:03
genehackeror just photolabile phosophoramidites without having to result to using sigma aldrich16:03

genehackertac) -cyanoethylphosphoramidite from scratch if I gave you information on how to make it from precursors?16:09
drazak_and you'd be exchanging some HSO4- and SO42- ions16:09
drazak_can you give me the CAS number?16:09
drazak_easier to look it up from CAS number, because naming conventions are wonky with shit like that16:10
genehackerwhat's a CAS number?16:13
drazak_all molecules have a CAS number16:13

kanzureI have not seen a cheap SEM being sold21:54
kanzurehowever I really do recommend the AFM project at least21:54
kanzurewith the CAD models21:54
ybitthe afm project is just the tip though, correct?21:55
ybitcouple it with the "full control of ultrasonic motor with microcontroller" paper and you might be able to create one though21:55

ybitgo on..21:57

kanzureit's in the diybio archives for now21:57

ybitoh wait.. 22:01
ybitright, don't have it. probably not linked from anywhere on heybryan22:03
ybitso anyway, this is what i had looked at22:04
ybithttp://web.archive.org/web/20080106164837/http://www.biophysik.physik.uni-muenchen.de/PlasticAFM/22:04

* ybit doesn't know enough about SEM to know, but it just seems that you could use a cathode ray in construction of a low-cost SEM23:38
ybityou're just beaming focused electrons at something and measuring which ones bounce back or go through the surface23:38
