Look at the date! It is still the 1st of December...
It is written in CP, so it must be true...
I think we can stop time indefinitely by NOT answering daily riddles

Oops! My bad! Fixed.
But I am thinking to declare you as the winner because you have posted the answer (well, it's a substring of one of the words in your post). Not sure what the rules are...

But I think you still are up for tomorrow, because you posted the answer!
You have just been Sharapova'd.

I will post it on the 2nd - which is tomorrow - so I'm not jet the winner

You already posted it tomorrow, which means that you should have set yesterday's question today.
I think.

You got me there - let me think about yesterday...

Since no one has posted the answer with the solution, you are up for today's one. 
It was a "hidden word" clue and the answer was "ANSWER"
"The Germans were having a come back" -> "come back" was the definition and "having" was the "hidden word" indicator.
I think there were such situations earlier when a winner was declared even if they had posted the answer unknowingly.

Isn't 'comeback' a single word in this context?
|
|
|
|
|
Indeed, it should have been a single word.
I actually meant "answer" as a verb and went with "come back" (I believe "comeback" is a noun, not a verb). But now when I look at the clue, it really shouldn't have the article.

..is how long Visual Studio 2015 with Update 1 took to install.
I can only assume the install package consisted of a strand of DNA and it had to evolve into an intelligent life form before becoming a working program?

That would be a remarkably efficient way to distribute software over very slow connections.
Perhaps MS are planning cutbacks in their internet access speeds?

It depends on your intentions.
Storage:
Currently, DNA is more compact than even the best storage devices. This will probably may change in the not-too-distant future. Furthermore, the size advantages come at the cost of requiring massive amounts of hardware for encoding/decoding.
Transmission:
If your DNA molecule is capable of reproduction (not true of an arbitrary DNA sequence), then DNA may be a slow, but efficient method of distribution. However, you must then take into account replication errors, etc. Furthermore, if you expect the DNA to "evolve" into your data, you must also provide mechanisms to handle mutations from the desired evolutionary path.
While I can't speak for Microsoft, I think that for my computing needs - I'll stick with physics.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

And I thought that a bit less than 2 hours is catastrophic...
Consider myself lucky...

Blimey. What's your internet connection, two baked bean tins and a length of string? Took me a little over an hour to update.

The actual download was less than 10 minutes - the other hour and half was the install...
