If DNA is the result of intelligent design, the designer is either incredibly lazy or an incredibly poor programmer.

Please don't start a Microsoft/Apple or Microsoft/Linux flamewar too :-)

Cheers!

PS Why "lazy" particularly? Do you have the original design specs for DNA? And do you know the development hardware is free from malware and hackers?

I personally use Windows, not because I prefer it but because my customers all use it. I do have a number of systems in my home that run Linux and do prefer those as servers. I just hate the difficulty in setting up new hardware.

Lazy because there appears to be no internal documentation. If a human programmer bypasses the internal documentation debugging can be a real pain at a later time. Only really lazy programmers omit that documentation. It isn't lazy to re-use code snippets or to remove segments from compiling and linking but it is lazy to omit the reason the code is removed from the exe. but not the source.

"And do you know the development hardware is free from malware and hackers?"

Just how many Gods or aliens are we subject to the whims of? And just who wrote the malware?

PS. I have many gray whiskers but no gray hair.
