Damnit. *adds 70years to age* All these kids these days with their computers, medical students never touched a patient, blarg. :rolleyes: Still, I don't know why that option escaped me

Like half my experiments are run on computers these days. That's what most people in this field do cause it allows large scale analysis.

It is (despite my previous joke), a wonderful method of scientific practise. Although I'm damned amazed to see anyone who can successfully program such a thing.

Half of my drunken posts come as I drink away frustration at trying to get my cod e to work and I get like 99% of it prewritten.

As I said, I'm in awe when someone can do it, because it's that damnedably hard.

Well what do you expect when a TRAVEL writer starts thinking he can be an evolutionary biologist!

Biological memory? Comparing DNA/etc to computational structures, perhaps everything averages out because the "max memory" the molecular structure can hold is 10, and instead of us being actually average 10s across the board, we've more or less maxed out our biological potential inasmuch as our cellular structures are able to define and retain?

I dunno, I am so far in over my head but it was an idea that appealed to me.

The thing about DNA though is, that it has the capacity to change and adapt. So I don't see any species hitting in any evolutionary walls at any point from part of their genome.

Real quick post (from Karl-Marx stadt, huzzah!)- Brains are complicated as shit, most of neuron connections/brain growth happens post birth- have read paper on this and they reckon that brain plasticity is high enough to allow far more growth and before that limit is hit you would run into problems powering that brain- it become energetically bad.

So we may actually be limited not by DNA constraints, but by biological powering / sustenance constraints? We perform at our max possible limit due to not being able to adequately fund our body's need for more power or something?

We should hook SMB up to an electrical generator and see what happens to him. Or digitize his brain pattern.
