@truthbait "Procreation" is far more than DNA combination. The most important part is transmitting collective consciousness, the foundation of which is language. This can be done even with the results of someone else's DNA combination (adoption).

The best genetics in the world cannot prevent corruption of the mind by constant word redefinition and exposure to mind viruses. Or corruption of the body by addictive and inflammatory foods.

@cjd Big Endian is the Right Way™. It's how we write numbers. Intel and other Little Endian CPUs have always been very annoying.

@cjd I use Big Endian for external formats (over the wire, storage media, etc) and carefully write endian neutral code in C for in memory processing.
