		<description><![CDATA[Each animal in EvolveJs is written in a specialised assembly code. This assembly language was designed with some inspiration from Tierra. Each thread is essentially a stack machine and each operation operates on that stack.

Memory: This is both readable and writable memory addresses starting from address 0 for each animal.
Threads: Each animal can have multiple threads that communicate via it&#8217;s memory.

		<description><![CDATA[Firefox is a much better browser than MS Internet Explorer. It has lots of little benefits for me:

Tabbed browsing
More standards compliant
Easier to develop in
Better bookmark management

and there are plenty more. But the main benefit is the extensions. The things that you can do with them are amazing. Literally changing your browser into whatever you want [...]]]></description>

The idea of the software evolving and creating unplanned complexity seemed like a really good idea. However it never really seemed to go anywhere, and Tom seems to have started researching other things, [...]]]></description>
