Like, Holy Sh!t. I solved this problem 20 years ago while still in my teens.
Why can't people just accept the FACT that that ALL life on earth originates from a single CELL. No observation will contradict that claim ever. Every observation will support it. Therefore the EGG must always come first regardless of life form.

My first puter was a commodore Vic20 in order to one up my elementary school buddies on their brand new atari 2600's. Nya Nya mine has a keyboard and I can finger poke my own games into it. LOL!!!
I learned the basics about basic typing in programs from books. Games of course...
Then came the commodore 64.:) At which time i began to learn 8 bit assembly language via the infamous "data" statement.:/
Then came the 128 which had a disassembler.:) however it became a nightmare having to pad with NOPS in case i screwed up and had to insert code directly into the address space requiring me to rewrite everything further up.
Then came a magic article in ahoy magazine with the BASIC source code for something called an assembler that actually let me code ASM in a funky text editor and let me use names instead of addresses for referencing stuff. WOW!!!! That in conjunction with the book "mapping the commodore 64" literally changed my world.
Until the Commodore Amiga came around and the book "Mapping the Commodore Amiga". ASM All the way.
And then Commodore died.
And I discovered the 386. Ditched assembly language for C/C++ Then the 486 Then the pentium P2 P3 P4
What I don't get is the CD watermarking to discourage people from uploading ripped music to P2P networks. Typically, the ripped song is MP3 encoded before that happens which everyone knows is a "lossy" compression algorithm. In other words, rip a cd into a wave file. Compress the wave file into an MP3, then decompress the MP3 back into the wave file. The wave file you get back is not the same wave file you put in. My question is can the watermark survive a lossy compression scheme?
The same goes for images and movies.

considering ATI doesn't even exist anymore. Do you mean AMD?
Haha, ATI ceased to exist a long time ago. They changed their name to AMD.
