Each one comes with a computer encoded on-off key protected by 64-bit software encryption to deter thieves or joyriders.
They're all stored on your own computer, encoded by the AES-256 encryption method, an open-source standard approved by the National Security Agency.
The Weizmann DNA computer encodes both the software and the data in the four letters of the genetic code, A, C, G and T. The "hardware," the part of the computer that does not change, is an enzyme that cuts the strands of DNA in a particular way.
The modern (digital) computer encodes both data and instructions as sequences of digits, and it allows for the internal storage of instructions.
For the past year or so, Jarvis has been working with Dr. Nick Goldman of the European Bioinformatics Institute in Cambridge, England to develop an art project using Dr. Goldman's recently developed technology that encodes information onto DNA much like a computer encodes information to a hard drive.
Classical computers encode information as a series of bits, which can be either 0 or 1, and then manipulate those bits according to simple rules.
Summing up this view, it supposedly follows from the fact that modern (digital) computers encode every kind of information in the same way i.e., as a sequence of binary digits that an artwork that crucially relies in its production on computer processing is no longer defined by its mode of presentation, whether in images, moving images, sound patterns, or text.
But the basic idea is that when your browser orders a Web page, the acceleration company's computers intervene, encoding and shrinking each page before shooting it your way.
Software and Formats Unless you plan to harvest all your music by downloading it from the Web, or have a player that can record digital files directly from a CD player, you will need software that enables your computer to convert tracks (a process often referred to as "ripping") from your CD collection into computer files encoded in a digital audio format compatible with your audio player.
A race between a quantum computer, which encodes data in subatomic particles called qubits, and a classical one, which uses plain old ones and zeroes, ended in a draw.
Computers encode information in tiny magnetic components, and to be stable these components must not realign easily.
