Fwd: Why do programmers come back...

Press RESET immediately, All! This site is a godsend. The level of nonsense is mind boggling... http://www.newsru.com/world/06Aug2003/baboo_print.html Americans discovered the ability to program in baboons American researchers have discovered in higher primates the ability to work with computer. On Based on the research results, they even predict that within ten years most primitive operations in programming or when testing programs will be be carried out monkeys. This is stated in a press release from Primate Programming Inc. Dr James McAuliffe of the Stamford School of Zoology conducted a series of learning experiments baboons working with portable personal computers. "Baboons and chimpanzees are quite capable of working with computers, doing software testing software and even programming. They do have some difficulties, though. with complex structured menus. If the menu has more than two levels, then for the baboon it's already is challenging," says McAuliffe. Persistent scientists managed to solve this problem. McAuliffe found that if show baboon that a multi-level menu leads to some treasured picture, then the male baboon able to understand and remember up to seven levels in the menu. After a simple course on working with Windows, the baboons were asked check out the latestadvances in software. The baboons were shocked and puzzled by the programs Java IDE, SunONE and Visual Age. Not one of the baboons was able to master the language programming Java. However, most baboons easily mastered the Visual programming language Basic 3.0. Baboons were able to independently change program settings and even edit attribute parameters files. Some researchers have stated that Visual Basic is too simple for baboons They insist that the monkeys undergo another training course Java programming. However, most baboons and chimpanzees any Java components, according to scientists, cause stress. McAuliffe also found that baboons oppose "open" policies. code". As soon as the baboon becomes able to press the necessary keys on the laptop keyboard or use complex menus, his social status among his relatives increases sharply. Ours baboons knowledge protect from opponents with fists. The findings of McAuliffe's study have already caused a stir among developers software. Several large companies, according to the site, have already announced that will fund further research in this area. P.S. Positive results could seriously reduce costs for these companies on contentlow-skilled programmers testing new products.
