Only the DNA in the nucleus was cloned, so they have different DNA in their mitochondria, further more the different RNA in the embryo would alter the expression of the DNA.
IBM had a language QUEL which stood for something, the successor was naturally called SEQUEL but the name could not be used for copyright reasons so the vowels were dropped. This is why SQL is pronounced sequel and no it does not stand for Structured Query Language.
Comments that simply restate what the code does are, I agree, redundant but comments which explain WHY your code does what it does and assumptions you have made are invaluable during modification and debugging.
Meeting target dates is not a good measure because it is so hard to estimate target dates in the first place.
I'm not impressed by a DBMS that can do half a transaction. One of my clients has MS SQL 6.5 latest service pack and it performs an insert, fails part way and DOES NOT ROLLBACK!
It's all very well to criticise the programmer but managers are hired for their communication and project management skills, programmers are hired for their programming skills. Good managers are at least as rare as good programmers.
"If someone behaves in an unpredictable way, we must have our definition of their utility wrong." This assumes that people are rational. In economics it is called the rational expectations hypothesis. Explanations of why people play the lottery often imagine some utility in the joy of playing. People consistently fail to evaluate very low probabilities, i.e. the rational expectations model fails - it is after all only a model - tey see little difference between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 1,000,000.

It's vapourware, there isn't a price or a release date anywhere on their site.
I'm quite happily booting MS Windows 2000 sp3 on VMWare 3.2 and don't microsoft not charge when your issue is a bug?
Fire all the unhappy people.

My quasi-father-in-law hangs CDs from trees in his garden. They scare away some birds.

Is there any evidence that humans think?
The gene is only one key element. There are others. I think the ability to make sounds i.e. communication is crucial for culture.

So you pay someone at the other end of a telephone to go on irc, hmmm.
Steganography simply means that the message is hidden, wether the message is encrypted or encoded is a separate question.

TCP/IP ij the BIOS no problem, Linux BIOS does it. Heard of LOBOS?
Surely that's a pleonasm rather than a full blown tautology.

Hey C:\NUL\NUL crashes Win98 too.
