Bacteria Made to Behave as Computers
hende_jman writes "Scientists at Princeton University successfully 'programmed bacteria to behave like computers, assembling themselves into complex shapes based on instructions stuffed into their genes.' Though applications may not come for awhile, the article says that in the future this technology may be used in devices to detect bioterrorism chemicals. The article also has pictures of the programmed E. coli."

You might want to be aware of the fact that planning to commit a crime counts as conspiricy.
6 &cid=12380833. Some important points:
Also, try to work on your trolling. Sure, you've got +2 insightful as I write this, but the guy who posted that the CIA trained bin laden is at +5 http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=14772
Usually speak in generalities, and don't provide links.
When you do provide facts, make them difficult to verify, i.e. claim to have some position where you're in a position to hear privlidged information, or refer to their availablity though something that would take time and effort to verify, like the FOIA
Always make it clear that what you say is 100% true, using words like verified, undisputed, etc..., and be sure to use at least 3 of them each time you do.
If trolling against america, make it clear that you don't hate america, don't support terrorism, then go own to blame america for wearing a short skirt.
At the end, make ad homiem attacks. This is sometimes quite tricky, so make sure that you've used enough emotional rhetoric that you could advocate that babies are tastey and be modded +5 if you choose to do this.
I'd apperciate anyone who is more experienced with Trollology to expand on this.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
No. It's truth.
