Haha. I've seen a company try to implement this. They encountered a problem - hundreds of software developers couldn't run their own code.

What I like most about Fedora - audio is done right. On Ubuntu it is a mess. Read Lennart Poettering blog to learn why.

green computing hardware video acceleration is the present and the future
It is great to fully utilise hardware that you have now, but H.264, DivX, and WMV hardware acceleration is not the future. Why lockdown hardware to accelerate a specific video coding format that will change in the future? Instead, if the engineering effort is spent making the CPU & video operations faster (and smaller die size, more cores, lower power requirements) then all applications benefit, not just H.264, DivX, and WMV video playback. The hardware industry is taking this concept further, investing heavily in CPU & video on the one chip.
Repairing Genetic Mutations With Lasers? 65
Roland Piquepaille writes "German researchers at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (CAU) think they've proved that genetic information can be controlled by light. The group studied the interaction between the four DNA bases — adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T) — by using femtosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The researchers think that they've demonstrated that DNA strands differ in their light sensitivity depending on their base sequences. The team thinks that it might be possible in the future to repair gene mutations using laser radiation. One of the project leaders said that 'it might even be possible under some circumstances to make transistors from DNA that would work through the hydrogen bonds.' It's not the first time I've heard about DNA computing, but this new approach looks promising."
