Title: Scientists create first fully simulated organism

Now that is fascinating.  a 128 core linux cluster ain't bad, but if they could get hold of some supercomputing time, or some distributed processing like folding@home, or SETI@home, just think what they could do with other nasties!!!

Just as an aside, folding@home has to end at some point, and hopefully, the way the computational power keeps growing, it will be sooner rather than later.  Hell, if the PS4 includes the same software, it will be able to rocket along.  I'm not asking how many proteins there are, because the answer is "lots", but do they have a target, and how close are they to wrapping up?

I'd love for them to finish that, and then put the entire network to another use, as with the article above.  God if we get that, and sustainable nuclear fusion within my lifetime...  I will actually be quite proud of humans for a change.

In fact, I did read that they've finally activated nuclear fusion which gives out more power than it took in (and apparantly 1000 times what the US uses in any moment :O ), and some kid in India figured out a way to turn waste plastic into fuel ($78 billion dollars worth apparantly).

if we figure all this stuff out, we could possibly look at irradicating pollution, disease, fossil fuels, and then use the spare CPU power to tackle climate change, which will already be given a boost by the above.  All, hopefully in the next few years.

And then, when we've found the higgs boson, solved all the mysteries of space, we can use the spare CPU power to look at space travel possibilities, solving all of mankinds problems.

I thought this said Orgasm.

Way to disappoint.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who also misread that.

Yup I misread it also.  :lol:

Nah, Regal is usually all doom and gloom and super pro-China.

I don't quite know what I just read from RegalSin, but I know I laughed for a bit! Yeah, it did also inspire a "What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?" feeling. He does that a lot, doesn't he? Is that just his natural self or a long-standing epic shtick of his? Or we'll never know for sure? Heh. As to the topic, yes, yes, very good, technology progressing! Yay!

I wish they could just make the cumcum condition, that most Japanese women suffers from become worldwide. Imagine every woman from age ?? ( at least ) to age ..............60 cumcuming around the clock.

Then we can genetically modify women, who are unable      , as well as............................

"One day our women will be like theirs"

What is that trail, of goo, on the bus..oh it is a just a woman cumcuming.

.............................................................................................

But the god damn lesbo army of the bloody big head, wont allow that,
right? Overshadow by her buttress, and iron clad, pillows.

what is this i dont even

I always thought if it was some prankster who quickly writes up a post in English, translates it into Ukranian, translates the result into Italian, and then translates that result back into English.

Then, one horrific day, I discovered The Truth.
