Now The RIAA will want to include DRM on all bacteria.

So all the porn on the internet could be stored on a pile of crap.

My ex-wife's fridge can be used to store the Library of Congress.

Someone better start looking at all the bacteria. Perhaps earth achieved a higher civilization millions of years ago and tried to leave us a message, "Keep your eyes on Congress."

Or ET might've left us a message. Saw an article a couple of months ago that suggested that the SETI people should be looking at bacteria for evidence of ET instead of data from Arecibo, anyone remember it? Can't find it to save my life now.

oops. Sorry Guys, I killed that ET data carrying bacteria when I used Lysol to clean my kitchen floor. But the Lysol did leave a clean fresh smelling scent if that is any consolation.

they successfully encoded "e= mc2 1905!"
Just think: every one of your body's cells could be encoded with your social security number. That way, no one could ever steal any part of your body.

Does that mean that there will be more bugs in computer programs?

Does that mean that there will be more bugs in computer programs? No, but it explains why Vista is a stinking pile of crap. They stored it in the super secret "doggy pyramid" out in the yard to thwart code thieves.
