According to Britannica, DNA is simply "organic chemical of complex molecular structure".
Therefore what is interesting are the implication of having a biological, that is alive, component in our computer.
The greatest risk is that of degradation overtime from simple aging of the DNA-based tissue, not to mention being able to become victim of biological diseases since it's alive, after all.
I personnaly would shake in horror at the thought of my computer developping AIDS;)
This said, I doubt such an implementation would actually happen over time, there are just too many risks involving 'live' components in mechanized objects.
February we reported
that the.cx registrar was offering free domains to open-source projects
Domain names have several rules that must be followed.
And so I must wonder if this concern only projects under the GPL?
What I fear most is a rise of partisanship in the handling of the assignment of domain names like theses ones, as well as some of the newly proposed extensions like.net,.jobs and the like.
My biggest interest is the handling of projects under GPL-Compatible lisences such as the MPL and the QPL.
I therefore propose not to allow the handling of new domain names,.cx or otherwise, be controlled by a single entity which might be subjected to pressure from interest groups like GNU, with all due respect that I hold for that organization.
At the moment I have both Gnome 1.2.1 and Kde 1.92 and I must say there is no difference in speed between the two. 1.2 has added several eye-candy features (read: good to atttract newbies) and just improved the functionnality of core apps, especially GMC.
Gnome is not bloatware anymore even for my middle-end box. Good job to their team

Considering what AOL did to Mozilla, you're probably better off with an open-source clone.
