I remember a couple of years ago when all this was just starting, people we getting really crazy results that nobody else could duplicate because these "evolved" programs/bugs come up with weird ways of doing things. They exploit VERY low level stuff (abnormalities in the wiring of the machine they grew on), and can't function at all if they're transplanted to other machines.
