Technical riddle. You have a computer stored in a bomb shelter

You are such a dick.

There is an answer, and it will be perfectly logical to all, this much I guarantee.

So how was the information retrieved from the computer?

No, a computer can't tell a complete story unless it was with the person their entire life and recorded everything. The size of the computer has little to do with anything. A computer the size of a house when Bill Gates was born would have less computing power then a current smart phone.

True the size of the computer has nothing to do with the answer, however Bill Gates as one of if not the richest man in the World, might well have computer parts that neither you or I will ever have, as his company does still invent hardware and software. The entire story of this person is recorded on this computer, or at least more than you can comprehend, as you are missing the point. The question really centers around how the data was retrieved after 10,000 years? You can assume however that this computer, is not from when Gates was born, but that it is current state of the art.

You need a hint?

Ok, the information was on the ---- -----,

Nobody knows, I am disappointed, at least try......

Ok, hint time, one gram of this hard drive stores over 600 terabytes of binary code..............................................

And yes the hard drive was in the fallout shelter the entire 10,000 years.

The hard drive platters in the main computer were melted, these are the backup drives, that are not even in the same room. You need to get over the fact that DNA storage can store thousands of times more information than can current technology, and that this chemical storage media, has been around for at least 3.5 billion years on this planet. DNA also does not melt, as it is not made of the same glass that are the hard drives of which you are familiar.

Here is a diagram of the coding and decoding process.

I knew you'd come up with some crap.

Your riddle is totally inconsistent.

Actually the answer, existed at the millisecond in time that the question was formed in my mind. Which may well be the topic of the next question/riddle. Again Harvard engineers have turned DNA into a workable hard drive, for storage of this binary code. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCUQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.extremetech.com%2Fextreme%2F134672-harvard-cracks-dna-storage-crams-700-terabytes-of-data-into-a-single-gram&ei=8VyEVJKaFa7HsQTw4ILQCg&usg=AFQjCNF4jCP0KabKQPcA2GxzZxAVQtMgDQ&sig2=gtYoPAS1BRiwLiy1QBU8cQ&bvm=bv.80642063,d.cWc

You are trying to appear knowledgeable but the discrepancy between the statement of your riddle and the lame and pitiful answer you produce only shows an amazing ignorance of the matters you are talking about.

You didn't say yet how exactly you extracted the owner's history from the machine.

You are correct, I did not disclose this. The owner had their DNA sequenced into binary code, then encoded back onto the DNA hard drive, the owners life history was also recorded in this way, from their birth certificate, to their death certificate, and all medical records personal diaries, and work history that happened in-between. This is all possible, with todays tech, you just need to keep current. In theory, DNA stored this way, could someday be encoded back onto real DNA and a clone could be created, but this is not part of the riddle.

You keep clutching at straws in order to appear knowledgeable.

Even if the encoding was possible, which has not been demonstrated yet, you have no reason to think that going through extreme heat and after 10 000 years, the owner's DNA would be in such condition as to be recuperated for proper analysis.

Every aspiring author can write science fiction leaving aside the duress of facts.

Hellooooooo there, a book has already been encoded onto DNA as binary code. Thus you are just simply wrong.

You are also quite wrong if you believe that I said there was 1500 degrees of heat present in the fallout shelter, you imagined that because you associated fallout shelter with nuclear war, this was never stated.

Watch the Harvard video on this page, and try to learn, if you can. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/134672-harvard-cracks-dna-storage-crams-700-terabytes-of-data-into-a-single-gram

Yeah, you'd better store what you say on DNA as you appear to be losing your short term memory:

The DNA drives are not the primary hard drives, that is your assumption.

The only mention of 1500 degrees of heat, present was by you.

Enjoy the rest of your day, and do try to move on from this to something more positive and constructive. I just came back from a ten mile bike run with my dog.

Live long and prosper.

Oh, yeah?

And where was that?

Do you have mental issues?

You need to move on, is there a reason that you are continuing this.

Chill out, and relax.


Or try some Zen meditation.

So, you come here, post a lot of crap, don't back up anything and then tell people to stay zen?

Inconsistency at its best..

Works for us. You might even see some whales frolicking or dolphins splashing. I could have touched a whale this Summer, a wonderful experience.
