DNA Computer Processors!

Mods: If you wanna move this to the video game forum, you can.

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dna-computer.htm

"Even as you read this article, computer chip manufacturers are furiously racing to make the next microprocessor that will topple speed records. Sooner or later, though, this competition is bound to hit a wall. Microprocessors made of silicon will eventually reach their limits of speed and miniaturization. Chip makers need a new material to produce faster computing speeds.

You won't believe where scientists have found the new material they need to build the next generation of microprocessors. Millions of natural supercomputers exist inside living organisms, including your body. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules, the material our genes are made of, have the potential to perform calculations many times faster than the world's most powerful human-built computers. DNA might one day be integrated into a computer chip to create a so-called biochip that will push computers even faster. DNA molecules have already been harnessed to perform complex mathematical problems.

While still in their infancy, DNA computers will be capable of storing billions of times more data than your personal computer. In this article, you'll learn how scientists are using genetic material to create nano-computers that might take the place of silicon-based computers in the next decade. "


Cliff Notes: They are going to use DNA in CPUs.

True, but if the human race was satisfied, we would all be wearing loin cloths and living in caves, barely communicating enough to live. Oh yeah, and there would be no paintball.

no paintball? that'd be really gay. i'd want to die. but i think we've advanced enough. it's stuff like this that agrees with the terminator trilogy, this is the beggining of the end according to hollywood. and i'll be damned if i get blown to pieces by a robot with a bad austrian accent.

i did a report on the technology. Very useful in nanomachines in the body as it can be made thousands of times smaller than a conventional computer chip, but extremely primitive. It will take a long time for them to be used large scale...if ever

Every word you read of this useless fine print is another second off your life. Is your life so empty that you honestly can't think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all who claim it? Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have been warned.
