Hahahahaa spitting into the teacup to boot the comp up. ROFL... I haven't had such a good laugh in a while. I must say you have an extremely active imagination dude Good one - any more such methods you can enlist ?? Would be fun to start a thread on that - Your imaginary alternative booting mechanism ...

Wow .. this is sort of mind blowing. I mean, DNA running a computer? It's just unbelievable how far we've come in such a short time. Computers have been "mainstream" for what, 10 years? Clunky, slow, text based systems have evolved into sleek, speedy machines run by DNA. Cool or what!?

I can't even begin to fathom what we will have in 10 more years. Mind activated computers? Nerve controlled? Hah, the possibilities are endless. GREAT article! Thanks for bringing this bit of info to my attention. xD

Well I think that DNA computing is still very much in its infancy. At a superficial level, it definitely sounds fundamentally better than a standard binary system. Quantum computing also sounds interesting... though I'm not sure if it is quite as ahead (research wise) as DNA computers. The limitations with DNA computing will be how to make it more 'solid state.' As it is, they are doing wet computations. When they figure out how to get this going... then DNA computer will become less novelty and more reality
