Finally a good place to hide your stash of nature films.

So in the future when I say my computer is packed with an extra chromosome it will actually just mean I have extra storage space?

I'm gonna put the entirety of the pirate bay in my balls/sperm file sharing is about to become so much more fun

finally got a place to store all these linux distros

Just another reason to use a condom, you sure don't want a virus

Now convert human dna to 1's and 0's and find alien porn.

How many GBs can we store? Can we upgrade to 64GB?

Can't wait for solid-state dna.

This is great fodder for speculative fiction.

How long does this process take?

Thumb drives.

Ho they do the 3rd and 4th steps?

[quote]DNA could hold vastly more information than the same surface volume of a disk drive—a cup of DNA theoretically could store about 100 million hours of high-definition video[/quote] Blew my mind.

I would guess it's something along the lines of "00" = A, "01" = C, "10" = G, "11" = T. Makes me wonder what would happen if they used that DNA to make an animal or something I dunno. V:v:V

I thought I remembered reading about scientists storing 700TB of data on 1 gram of DNA back in the summer?

DNA media storage drives. That's something sci-fi never thought of. Actually, Voyager had those biogel packs things didn't it?

[QUOTE=Matriax;39363911]DNA media storage drives. That's something sci-fi never thought of. Actually, Voyager had those biogel packs things didn't it?[/QUOTE] I think I also recall bio-stored [B]computers[/B]/data in Deus Ex lore.

Your drive being infected by virus, taken to the next level.
