I mentioned Aho, Hopcroft & Ullman before. Another series of books/lectures to consume to change your brain about what you're doing when you're programming is Donald Knuth's series The Art of Computer Programming. You can start from here: http://cs.stanford.edu/~uno/ta...
Go find some of his stuff on YouTube. You will undoubtedly cook your brain a bit, so give yourself plenty of rest between episodes of exposure.
Piqued: plucked/triggered/alerted etc....,
Peeked: took a quick look at,
Peaked: reached the top, or having a pointed top, or looking peaked=looking sick
Or something like that
This statement " Even more interesting is that oil or petrochemicals used to create this type of plastic are only known to come from ancient fossilized organic materials, such as zooplankton and algae, which geochemical processes convert into oil pointing to the earthshaking evidence that there was once life on mars." is a bit behind the times. Research in recent times shows that petrochemicals can be generated from crystalline hydrocarbon compounds found in a variety of commonly found subterranean igneous formations. There are in fact people who explore for oil based on this theory of abiotic petroleum generation in place of the old theories that crude oil was only created from organic sources.

Or they could just buy the patent trolls. It's all about money ... buy the trolls ... make the suit go away.
Why bother putting a cat in the box? Just create a closed box and ask the question on the box "Is the cat inside dead or alive?"
It's "foreword" when you write the piece that goes before the book contents. Forward is a direction you go.
