A chicken flu processor .

Seriously though, it was discussed long time ago that organic processors would be better and faster to do complex things than "normal" ones, however the time will tell. The article is "a bit" exagerrated too (as usual).

geneticaly engineering bacteria to be super-smart and then using them to run violent video games ?

I see no way how this could ever come back to bite us in the ass

[Starver]

My only question is, would installing things consist of introducing new bacteria to the mix?
Of course that leads to the question, what would Vista be as a bacteria?

Edit: After actually reading it, I figured out they edit the DNA of them, which instead leads to the question, what would Vista mutate the bacteria into?

Windows ME.

You know, the pathing problem can also be trivially solved by tying a number of pieces of string together, to represent the map distances concerned, and pulling at the origin and destination 'nodes'.

In fact I'm sure it was 5-10 years ago (if not before) when a DNA-based solution for this was previously mooted.  Yes, it requires a lot of effort to set up, and a lot of effort to read, but when you're no longer talking about a route to take in 10 cities, but instead 100, even 1000, it may well be less of aneffort to do this.

Protip: Bacteria has no teeths.

Well, you never know what they might mutate into...

I still say that a quantum computer will be better, due to a certain principle.

In a few years we will have real computer viruses..

If bacteria make our computers look like pocket calculators... Quantum computers make your bacteria computers look like paperweights.

But.. uh... paperweights don't calculate anything...

Exactly.

OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR!

Likely either The Black Death or possibly E. Bola.  There's a slight chance it mutates into Stachybotrys.

I'm pretty sure that paperweights measure the force of gravity really well.

I'm uncertain what you're referring to.

i am both certain and uncertain at the same time about the concept of quantum computing.
