    The cat would kill the DLLs before the DLL had chance to kill the smaller insects. The cat may not catch the very small insects.

    Can't stand them, but they are a lot more useful than they appear!

    Do wasps do anything useful? Bees are handy too. At least flies clean-up bird poo etc

    Rocket Science was tricky at the hedge fund I used to work for. Most of the developers were quants too.

    So users asked for a firework. And got a saturn 5 rocket.

    I read somewhere that the reason Scotland has so many midges is that it's too damp for wasps to thrive there.

    So I guess even wasps have their uses, by keeping down the numbers of midges.
