Re: Question
[quote name="Fussbett"][quote name="Mischief Maker"]Is this one of those cop shows with the magical DNA machine? Where, like, they put a hair sample on a glass slide and place that in the machine, then there's all sorts of beeping and crap and then the screen pops up with a box in the lower right where you see a bunch of As and Cs and Gs and Ts flying by as the machine is automatically sequencing the dude's ENTIRE GENOME in seconds, and in the upper left there's another box with a PICTURE of the actual DNA molecule itself stretched out into a nice straight double-helix and rotating slowly, possible with tiny text popping up and pointing to points of interest, until the whole thing is finished in ~15 seconds and a big red box pops up and starts flashing "MATCH" accompanied by a beeping noise?[/quote] Don't stop there. After MATCH dissolves off the screen, the computer searches the criminal (or maybe DMV) database for the profile, flipping through one hundred photos (and displaying each for a fraction of a second) until it lands on the details of the unlucky sonofabitch who will get interrogated or roughed up or shot by the lead forensic scientist. If you saw this show, you would <i>lose your shit</i>.[/quote]
