  1. Re:No. on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 1

    Science is demonstrable, repeatable and self-correcting. Most importantly: Science Delivers. Not understanding the intricacies doesn't make it "faith". Faith is an idea with no evidence to back it up no matter how adept the 'experts'. Even more important, the 'experts' often don't agree on even the basics. Witness all the various religions and factions thereof.

    Yeah, who cares about trifle things like details? Don't bother me with the intricacies!!!

  4. No wonder business is slow to embrace change on Windows 7 Licensing a "Disaster" For XP Shops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It all comes down to the "stick with what sucks less" mentality. Businesses are in it for business - not to pay Microsoft to debug their software for them.

    Tell all the teachers you want. The gov't is not going to let just anyone in there. I used to work for Cray and upgraded the X1 they have there. Like an earlier poster mentioned, lots of power but little eye candy.

    "Barbara Desoer, BofA's chief technology exec, told BusinessWeek magazine in January that she was aware how much grumbling it caused when workers at the bank's Concord technology center were told they'd have to bring their Indian replacements up to speed before being shown the door."
