"If anything, cancer resistance (which would probably mean less cell mutation ability) would be disadvantageous from an evolution standpoint because you would have less variation and consequently may have trouble…
The stark irony of this is, of course, that very few games on the Commodore 64 used or required BASIC, and certainly none of the popular ones. BASIC games where the first generation, before people mastered assembly.…
Interestingly, neither the original image nor the manipulated one can be called racist. The trouble only comes from realizing we're looking at a before and after. Microsoft generally goes to great lengths to ensure…
I feel like some qualification is in order. I can't make any excuses for SOAP (maybe someone else wants to take that up), but COM, at its core, is indeed a simple and dare I even say elegant technology. COM is alive and…
Good advice from the irrepressible Dijkstra on this matter: "Before embarking on an ambitious project, try to kill it." (http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/ewd10xx/EWD1055A.PDF) If you try honestly and still fail to…
It's quite possible there is none, and they're independent "inventions". There aren't that many four-letter words composed of hex digits (by my reckoning, the only common ones are BABE, BEAD, BEEF, CAFE, DADA, DEAD,…
I still crack up every time I see the "master programmer" part, which uses COM. The joke here is the ridiculous overhead that the COM boilerplate is putting in isn't even exaggerated -- most of this stuff would actually…
