Sure you can, but chances of you being able to view it are slim

WSU and MIT are working on contact lens monitors you can wear on your eyes
JUst link a notebook computer and yeah
Hell even phones could power it and work very well
I had a link some place....

Fuck the bandwagon, this is what I think of when I hear bio computer
Computer science is really [i]infecting[/i] all fields of life.
Dayum!
Does this mean I will be able to play crysis?
Makes me wonder if eventually people engineer an efficient way to store informations in DNA's in computers.
I mean there are a lot of shit in our DNA, who knows if these guys will use them as a leap in technologies?
[QUOTE=Haxxer;27354256]900 TB per 1 Gram
That would be 90 TB for 10 milligram
I mean holy shit[/QUOTE]
1000 milligrams in a gram.
So by your logic; 90tb per 10mg would be 10mgx100=1000mg (1 gram), or 90TBx100=9000TB. I'm going to assume you failed basic math.
This is so cool. I love new breakthroughs like this
But that would make for a [i]shitty[/i] computer!
[QUOTE=Heidenreich;27377142]so are you saying I can inject myself with porn[/QUOTE]
My god. I can just imagine if the cell gets deteriorated and the RNA somehow gets absorbed into your cells.
Then all of your tRNA constructs proteins capable of releasing hormones and hallucinogens to make you watch porn...
(no this isn't logical it's an acid trip)
We need a retroactive virus that will make us all super-computers, like a modified form of aids.
Just throwing this out here:
-The data piggybacks in a separate part of the bacteria's DNA. You can't modify the bacteria by adding data.
This makes me uncomfortable.
Hold on here. To me this sounds... far fetched to say the least. People seem to be implying that the bacteria will replicate with the data stored in the DNA, but that's forgetting one of the principals of evolution; when something replicates, it could be different to the parent/original. Since someone already said that bacteria could replicate in as little as 20 minutes, there's really no way to guarantee the integrity of any data on the drive. Not to mention that the read/write times will probably be very long.
Don't get me wrong, the possibility is cool, but I don't see it being practical.
So if we became biocomputers, and I sneezed on someone, what would happen?

A tiny bit of glucose will go a long way for ecoli.

[QUOTE=ineedateam1;27353333]Most likely not
It will need warmth and light and food but thats easy for the 1st 2 the food can have a self repinching tank and just refuel that ever month with some kind of food[/QUOTE]
Back in college we just kept our ecoil in the cold dark fridge. They're not that high maintenance.

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;27354962]Theoretically, you could implant data on any DNA. E.Coli was chosen because of it's long history of easy biological manipulation. With the proper plasmids and restriction enzymes, you really could cultivate E coli for any purpose.
No, but it will be damaged by various forms of radiation.[/QUOTE]
Ecoil is basically the guinea pig of genetics. You're not going to find a college bio lab or even highschool lab that does not have some of it.

[QUOTE=zydos;27355969]This all sounds great, but what if you take your computer into Futureshop or something to get the hard drive repaired? Technician takes it out and goes "oh fuck now I have E. Coli"[/QUOTE]
Ecoil is not THAT dangerous. There are a few strains that are lethal but for the most part you'll probably just get minor food poisoning if ingested.
Funny I should say that. I had ecoli O157 when I was 9 and nearly died. Kidneys shut down and I had to be on dialysis for days. I was in the hospital for about a month. Now I nearly worked with ecoli every day last semester. Humbling to look at the thing that almost killed you and to get to understand how it works, and why its so important.
[QUOTE=KorJax;27355383]What if... WE have billions and billions of TB of alien data secretly imprinted into us, and we are meerly biodrives for a much larger sentient alien race, with the Earth being like one giant bittorent client?

Beautiful... just, amazing

How the fuck, would you make the biological leap from a virus that eviscerate your immune system and shits in its wounds, to becoming the physical embodiement of the technological singularity?
Just, how!?

Hardware disconnected error :v:
Holy fuck.
Soft-Drives.
i got some of these and after a few days my hard drives started trying to kill some chick named Sarah Connor
Oh shit sorry, I just sneezed in the general area of your computer and corrupted that assignment
Oh yes, I always liked the concept of biocomputers.
[QUOTE=ThatHippyMan;27353383]So it'll run on the same basic sustenance as Facepunch users?[/QUOTE]
Wrong.
I am bumbing this as its relevant to a topic
I wonder when this becomes available to the public

If you store 900 TB of porn on it, would it encourage the bacteria to reproduce?
[QUOTE=The Spie;28008423]:frog:[/QUOTE]
What? I simply wondered about when this discovery becomes widely available for everyone to use.
