    > These "misspellings" of useful DNA aren't bad or good, but simply different. The differences could give your child a genetic advantage just as easily as a genetic disadvantage.

    A little knowledge is indeed the most dangerous of things...

    This is absolutely false. The overwhelming majority of mutations are malefic. Only a very few DNA copy deviations will create anything at least on par with the original, something like one in millions. The chance at an actual improvement is theoretical only, none ever observed.

    BTW, this is just one reason of miriad reasons why some people, religiously informed or not, still doubt that the Theory of Biological Evolution will ever be proved a fact. The main reason being that in speculative Philosophy it has existed for millenia before Darwin applied it to Biology: see CS Lewis' The Funeral of a Great Myth.

  12. Google/CowboyNeal Study by BoBaBrain · · Score: 5, Funny · on Using Google to Calculate Web Decay

    On a similar note, I was curious to see what the CowboyNeal content of the web is. As luck would have it, a precise answer can be found easily.

    Google gives us the following interesting results:

    3,840,000 sites contain the word Cheese.

    1,640 sites contain the words CowboyNeal and Cheese.

    Therefore, 4.27083333333333333333333333333e-2% of cheese related sites contain a reference to CowboyNeal.

    As cheese is a randomly chosen word with no special connection to CowboyNeal it is reasonable to assume that 4.27083333333333333333333333333e-2% of all sites contain a reference to The Cowboy (Assuming the number of sites dedicated to CowboyNeal equals the number dedicated to ignoring him).

    So there we have it. The web is 99.957291666666666666666666666667% CowboyNeal free. :)


    I said the results were "precise", not "accurate". :P

  15. Re:C# is really kinda cool stuff by HerbieStone · · Score: 1 · on C# From a Java Developer's Perspective
    so to write a Win32 app your most viable options have been C, VB or some other monstrosity on a Win32 box like Java, have you ever tried to run a half a million line Desktop Java app on windows.
    Why is Java a monstrosity on Win32? Java works great on Win32 and *nix. We had once a pretty big project which was intendet to run on Sun on the server side and NT 4.0 on the client side. At the end of the project, we wanted to know if the client would also run under linux. It did. Without a SINGLE recompilation. We just used the bytecode from the NT-machine. Now show me what you need to do, when you do this with C.

    Or to throw a Java app together in a nice pretty IDIOT proof installer so that the person who thinks a CDROM is a coffe cup holder can install it with one of the nice pretty MS installers, Java in those aspects , well...it sucks
    Come-on, this is plain FUD and you know it. There are PLENTY of installers for Java-apps. A Simple search with Google reveals a mirad of good results.
    The C# stuff is definatley cool. native speed and you can writer in any of the dot net languages you want...
    Well, i wonder what makes you think that C# runs native speed. C# runs interpreted on a Virtual Machine just like Java does, PERIOD.
    ...the wholde of the VS 7 IDE and tools are written in C# , Im sure by the time its released it'll be pretty good....
    This is just plain wish-thinking. Show me a MS Product that really behaves how it is supposed to. Certainly not the first release. Maybe a later fix would then have kludged the ugliest bugs of the product.
