Just as the discovery of the electron in 1897 was a seminal event for the 20th century, the seeds for the 21st century were spawned in 1953, when James Watson blurted out to Francis Crick how four nucleic acids could pair to form the self-copying code of a DNA molecule. Now we're just a few years away from one of the most important breakthroughs of all time: deciphering the human genome, the 100,000 genes encoded by 3 billion chemical pairs...
...information retrieval for HUID, says, "The general `Harvard Card' is pre-printed with a specific design. We use a DataCard 9000 machine to `personalize' each card.

And in the fall, when the Republicans promised an election that would give Clinton his comeuppance, she went out and gave the Democratic faithful, many of whom she had let down...
...program that lets the unit double as a remote control for TVs can also be used by thieves to unlock car doors equipped with infrared remote locking systems. But only a few cars (including some Mercedes-Benz) use such a system, and because a thief must first copy the code from the remote sold with the car, 3Com declared such break-ins "nearly impossible...
