hack VNC--- have small docked button on the side of your screen(room-client), when you click and hold it either encapsulates the whole screen into VNC-server and then dragging the button starts up a viewer on the (room-server) and continuing to drag now drags the viewer.
Or, click the side button, then click a window title bar, somehow use xInput (linux) or windows API (java robot class) to get the window dimensions, and open a viewer on the (room-server) that is sized only around the window.
using something like the java robot class, there should be a way to say over the network "open a vnc client with these dimensions, around this part of the (room-client)'s screen and create a new pointer on (room-server) that is **still being clicked mouse-down** dragging the vnc contents around.
VNC on the (room-client) side should make the window disappear, put it behind everything, maybe some fake desktop space somehow that isn't viewable on the screen.

Today's shit
Needs an "ignition key" that would be easy to produce, cheap, abundant/easily recyclable, but not readily/immediately available in natural settings to avoid the outbreak of a modified organism.
The supply of energy for CO2 anabolism is common to all photosynthetic organisms which exhibit photosynthesis. Energy conversion, ATP synthesis and the production of both CO2 and hydrogen on the other hand, are not unique to photosynthetic organisms, but occur in all types of microorganisms, and are in fact similar to the respiratory processes which occur in mitochondria of higher organisms.
Two types of photosynthesis are distinguishable on the basis of source of the electrons used as energy carriers. In plants such as green algae, and cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), water is the electron source, while in photosynthetic bacteria, organic or sulfur compounds provide electron sources.
Then there are some bacteria that produce hydrogen directly, but currently their overall sunlight to combustion efficiency is about 7%:

I want a really nice microscope. I want a really high-quality, cheap way to make a quick high-resolution, high magnification digital image of a large area of cell culture for computer vision analysis and automatic cell counting.
A possible means to achieve this using optics would be a CNC like platform which moved the viewing stage about a matrix. If this could be performed fast enough you could consistently monitor a biological culture. Along with oxygen, CO2 levels, pH, maybe the resistance/electrical conductivity (could that tell me the ionic concentration/ionic charge).
Or maybe a prism or something; fiber optics maybe, dunno about the resolution ceiling for that, or fiber diameter floor...

Extracellular photosynthesis

Extracellular photosynthesis
I propose to hijack and hack photosynthesis, first research published over 100 years ago, it's an open source project just waiting to be freshened up.
I also propose to build either a nano machine or a protein that would target and bind to every visual nerve and have an automatically assigned a unique address using a metalloid antenna that would resonate with a video transmitter.
Just before the internet was started, Malcolm X was saying:
"Without education, you're not going anywhere in this world."
and
"A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything."

My cells haven't finished differentiating yet...
Mentally too I change slowly, so is this not my inner and outer self reflecting each other... taking their time?
Very weird, I wonder how long I will live, if I'm only maturing at age 70. **Yep maw, muh beard's finally come in... maw... maw??? oh God, she's past! I'm in my prime and she's not even getting airtime anymore!**

It is late, I am tired
I need to check if I have the correct version of libpng installed before compiling MPX. Check the Xorg developers guide.
