Computer Made From DNA And Enzymes
develop writes "Some folks from Israel have created a computer that runs on DNA and enzymes and is supposedly 100,000 times faster then today's PCs. Information at National Geographic, Telegraph UK and United Press." According to the National Geographic story, this DNA-based computer "can perform 330 trillion operations per second, more than 100,000 times the speed of the fastest PC." However, be aware that most of this is still future tense, and what these researchers have now is just a proof-of-concept.
In Soviet Russia, we can only imagine a Beowulf cluster of these, you insensitive clod.
Yes, I know. The brain benefits from being a cluster of computational units. Fifteen years ago I could have set up a similar cluster of computers and achieved the same speeds. You need to consider your analogy a little bit more closely before you launch it.
I hate liberals. If you are a liberal, do not reply.
...when do I get my new CUMputer??
Well, I guess it's no different to Evolutionists thinking your loogie could eventually evolve into human life, given enough time. =)
Look, this comment has nothing to do with Israel's politics or religion. However, I'd venture to say that 2/3ds of nonsense slashdot science articles begin with "an israeli company..."
Either it's encryption that can be run recursively to one bit or something else completely off the charts ("100000 times faster than current..."), frankly, ive come to thinking htat israel is the land of bad science and reported hype.
