THANKS!!!!
Would have had $500 as it turned out that I knew the Correct Answer.
I'm Cool with that. :top:
Good evening my Q friends. Was away for a couple of days. Had a blast as usual.
Nice Wolfie - congrats. :thumbsup:
congratulations, wolfie! sorry i misssed it.
first round is on you!

Awesome win Wolfie, Congrats!
some days are like this:

Spent the first part of the day in the small town of Elmvale, they have a flea market every week and my daughter wanted to check it out, she did buy a dress but most of the stuff was too old for my liking. Spent the rest on Wasaga Beach. Haven't even had dinner yet but will momentarily! Time really does fly by!
Hey congrats Wolfie, but we all know you are a smart fellow! Saw a warren Zevon album today and thought of you!
SEATTLE — Computer data has been depicted as microscopic magnetic smudges, electric charges and even Lilliputian patterns of dots that reflect laser beams. It may ultimately move into the fabric of life itself — encoded in the organic molecules that are strung together like pearls to form strands of DNA.
In two recent experiments, a team of computer scientists at the University of Washington and Microsoft, and a separate group at the University of Illinois, have shown that DNA molecules can be the basis for an archival storage system potentially capable of storing all of the world’s digital information in roughly nine liters of solution, about the amount of liquid in a case of wine.
The new research demonstrates that specific digital files can be retrieved from a potentially vast pool of data. The new storage technology would also be capable of keeping immense amounts of information safely for a millennium or longer, researchers said.
It would also address a glaring Achilles’ heel at the heart of microelectronic data storage systems: Magnetic disks, tape and even optical storage systems safely store information at most for only a handful of decades.
The recent advances suggest there may be a new way to store the exploding amount of computer data for centuries rather than decades.
The raw storage capacity of DNA is staggering compared with even the most advanced electronic or magnetic storage systems. It is theoretically possible to store an exabyte of information, if it were coded into DNA, in the volume of a grain of sand. An exabyte is roughly equivalent to 200 million DVDs.
In nature, DNA molecules carry the genetic instructions that govern the development and function of living organisms. The cost of sequencing or “reading” the genetic code is falling faster than the cost of computer memory, and technologists are beginning to make progress in their ability to more rapidly synthesize strands composed of arbitrary sequences of the small organic molecules known as oligonucleotides, the basic DNA building blocks.
