This thread is total rubbish, you can't "evolve" things
like ogg decoders any more than you can "evolve" an
algorithm to add two numbers. Adding numbers is a
precisely defined algorithm with no fuzziness, you
can't vary the algorithm a bit to see if the numbers
add together "better".

Genetic algorithms are used for tasks where there's a lot
of fuzziness and the "correct" answer would otherwise be
found by trial and error, eg. creating the shape of a
racing boat hull.
