Deoxy Ribose Nucleic Hard Drive --- Microsoft Cloud to use DNA for storage ? - cbelt3 - 05-23-2017
I'm sorry, your data now has Pr0n cancer...

"Computer architects at Microsoft Research say the company has formalized a goal of having an operational storage system based on DNA working inside a data center toward the end of this decade. The aim is a “proto-commercial system in three years storing some amount of data on DNA in one of our data centers, for at least a boutique application,” says Doug Carmean, a partner architect at Microsoft Research. He describes the eventual device as the size of a large, 1970s-era Xerox copier."

Note when I tell people that I can't remember something because my hard drive is full, I'm being serious.

That's deoxyribonucleic acid...just sayin'. Memorized that in high school biology, and I want credit for that, dagnabbit.

Great. DNA is prone to spewing off new viruses, so in the future, we will be treating computer viruses with amantadine. There will be a transfer of viruses to humans, then what? Armageddon. That's what. DNA is not a toy.
