Well, sure that TV show won’t feature lags of second life. Who on Earth wants to watch lags? Things on TV, and in movies, always goes faster. Things in series are always more or less fake when showing professions and stuff not familiar to broader audience. If you can watch series about your profession depends on your tolerance and producer’s lack of good research and need to adopt things to the common Joe and Jane.

I don’t understand all the SL’ers who cries that CSI:NY missed a detail here and there. Homework for all of them: try to feature SL in the time that was given to SL in the episode. There are too many things to say about SL. I guess that producers here gave their best to show something quite new to TV audience, incorporate it into plot and make it understandable.

And, that episode was supposed to bring a million new people to the grid. Hardly that would happen if shown graphics was glitchy.

Hehe well, Eloise, my source is not reliable… a former student of genetics engineering, and he might have been referring to the DNA of a bacteria

What he did tell me is that it was quite unlikely that a result would be presented in less than a week, after several checks and counter-checks in several tests.

Alas, I stand corrected! Thanks

30 minutes for DNA profiling – yeah right.

New Scientist reported that Saddam Hussein was indentified by DNA in a bit under 16 hours and that was “surprisingly fast”. I’ve seen it done, and it usually took 48 hours. There’s a limit to have fast you can cycle your Taq polymerase and get the melting and annealing cycles to run without just degrading your results.

DNA typing in the CSI stories is hugely time-shrunk for dramatic effect. I don’t have a problem with that, but it’s way more dramatically compressed than your suggestion of half an hour to “a quick wait” Gwyn!

One of the other comments that came up a lot: LL apparently coughing up data on people to police very quickly. We know, especially today with the news on Reuters and Virtually Blind about Eros’ lawsuit reaching a name at last. We also know the process took several months, not less than 4 minutes.
