Aye, I could do that

Also the (2+2) bit isn’t relevant to the confusion.

The parentheses are what make people accept the missing multiplication symbol.

It’s got something to do with defending themselves when they’re accused of pushing over-sized portions. “But it’s for sharing”.

PC ports incoming.

Before running, code is adapted to specific systems in a proces that also obfuscates it. It’s very difficult to reverse engineer that process, but once you do, the door is open to adapt the code to run on more systems.

When you need to fill four panels but you have absolutely nothing.

People talk like the dedicated portable music player just doesn’t exist anymore, but you can buy devices like that if you really wanted.

The United States Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) flirts with it.

If you switch your view from the level of the organism to the level of the gene, genes do have backups everywhere. You could call every instance of a gene in every organism a ‘backup’ of the others.

As individual organisms, we also tend to look at genes and evolution from the perspectives of individuals. But for genes already established in a population, preserving any single genome (carried by a single individual) isn’t very important. Genes work instead to increase their overall frequency throughout the population.

So to adapt the technological metaphor, maybe you’re better off looking at the entire gene pool as your system instead of the organism.
