Seattle, WA Shoeboy Industries, a leading producer of homemade bongs, has announced plans to enter the wireless market in a big way. "Many people are bothered by individuals who use their cell phones in innapropriate places." announced Shoeboy. "Just yesterday I was taking a leak and the guy at the next urinal was on the phone with his wife. I'm sorry, but if a guy is going to say 'I love you honey' in a public restroom, I expect a blow job." Shoeboy Industries hopes to combat these annoying mobile phone users by introducing a technology called ActiveGlock. "ActiveGlock will provide a convienient point and click interface to silence those mobile users once and for all!" exclaims John Cheese, tech stock analyst for pointlesswasteoftime.com. "I'm very bullish on Shoeboy Industries stock right now. Shoeboy should be able to mow down the competition and shoot his way to the top of NASDAQ." A representative for the Disgrunted Postal Workers Association revealed that it's members had been evaluating ActiveGlock technology and hope to implement it "When those bastards least expect it." Others are less optimistic. "Technically it's murder," declares University of Utah law professor Dr. Rajeev Papshigali, "we wish it was justifiable homicide, but it isn't." Dr. Papshigali's warnings went unheeded on wall street where Shoeboy Industries closed at 2.25 for a gain of 2.24 points on the day. --Shoeboy
Ok, whoever designed this genetic inheritance crap was a moron. It's not a clean object oriented syntax. Suppose we want to inherit eyeColor() from a parent. Both parents are of Class Mamallia. Unfortunately, there's no clear way to tell if Class Mamallia defines the eyeColor() function or if it's been overridden in one of the many subclasses. I think you can see the problems right now: 1. There's no information in the DNA source explaining what the object is. You have to look at the entire object and possibly compile the source to determine what class it belongs to. 2. There are too many levels in the class hierarchy. Not only do we have classes, we have kingdoms, phylums, orders, families and genuses. This is unneccesary and makes inheritance from base objects hard to trace. Additionally, the distinction beetween class and order is ill defined and an optional tool rather than a core part of the language. 3. It's impossible to tell which implementation of eyeColor() will be used when creating a new object.

I worked on this project, so I can give you the real scoop. The web browser is simply proof of concept, what we were really going for was an IDE that could be used by most vertebrates.
It's simple really, a sufficient number of monkeys given sufficient time can produce working code. The problem is that between MS and AOL, we don't have anything close to a sufficient number of monkeys. A properly trained monkey can demand upwards of $80,000/yr in silicon valley. Traditionally monkey dominated industries like USWest customer service can't even afford them and have resorted to magic 8 balls.
By outsourcing development to non-primate species, we'll end the current labor crunch in IT.
I think we can all agree that advertising is a nuisance and that it's getting worse. The blinking thinkgeek ad at the top of this page is a prime example. The problem is that it's going to keep getting worse.
Companies can be considered as a type of evolving organism. They mutate through policy changes and reorgs. (which in big buisnesses are essentially random:) They reproduce when key personell leave to found (or join) startups. Mergers and spinoffs are a good equivalent for the genetic exchange that parameciums do (I forget the exact term)
The problem is that companies are competing for a scarce resource (our money) and must convince us that they are the best. It's quite similar to sexual selection. We have lekking companies located in malls, territorial harem keepers that brutalize their competitors (Microsoft is like an elephant seal?), and peacock style attention demanding companies (peacocks). These companies are locked in a red queens race against each other and must become more and more agressive to keep up. The first company that stops polluting the airwaves or collecting detailed consumer info loses. We're long past the point of diminishing returns, but no one is slowing down -- it's an arms race. It's going to keep getting worse. privacy will be invaded, senses will be assaulted and every public place will be filled with televisions. The only thing that can make it stop is for customers to be repulsed by these practices and that won't happen since the companies you purchase from impact your social status and chances of reproduction. (I'm not saying designer jeans will get you girls, but homespun hemp will sure as hell limit you to hippies.) Consider the peacock's tail, it won't get any shorter as long as the peahens prefer long tails, and peahens who settle for short tailed males will have short tailed sons that don't reproduce. Basically civilization is doomed. I really shouldn't listen to the Dead Kennedys while reading Dawkins. --Shoeboy

All that's fun, but the big Ciniplex experience is cool in it's own right. I think you should be able to see the beauty in suburbia.
