For the analogy to work, we'd have to use corewars or tierra or somesuch. The ben-ware, in competing for the available resources, prevent the mal-ware population from exploding. And we'd have some who had to take regular ben-ware supplements in order to mitigate irritable-output-syndrome and cpu-overgrowth-syndrome.
Personally, I use the analog of frequent, broad-spectrum, antibiotic treatments ... on my phone, at least. Nothing beats a ROM wipe every week or two to keep your system clean! On 07/28/2016 04:45 PM, Steven A Smith wrote:
Frankly I can't wait until our systems all are as fluxed with symbiotic-ware (what is the benign form of malware) as our own personal biomes... maybe we are already on our way down that road? Does anyone track Stephanie Forrest's computer immune systems? I'm betting we have some evolutionary biologists here as well?
