I agree. I had a close friend growing up who was big into gaming and computers in general --construction/de. He tried programming for a year, but it wasn't for him. I was always much more math savvy, and did not really enjoy video games that much --I think I played sudoku a few months ago on the subway. But, I ended up being that programmer and he ended up being an English teacher.
I used to work for and used Oracle, SQL Server. Then on a side project I used Oracle, but switched that to MySQL later. So, yeah, people use more then one on a regular basis.
Back in the day I read a great book on the philosophy of science, not Kuhn, which was good, but Feyerabend ("Against Method"). He proposed an aspect of 'anarchy' in science, and noted that quantum physics has an aspect of anti-falsification. He mentions an ad-hoc method of normalization to results to 'create' the correct answer. This is similar in some regard to whats mentioned here. In the begining many were on the side of people like Popper (see vienna circle) in the falsification method (if something can't, conceivably, be falsified then its worthless; almost Wittengsteinish).
Ayer would mention the aspects that because it can be verified then it's acceptable; verification principle. This, obviously, is not superior to the falsification method. So, these scientists need to think about what can disprove their theories, what would make them say 'string theory is a load of rubbish'...

brita uses carbon from coconut shells:
"The activated carbon utilized is made from coconut shells that have been subjected to a special heating process that produces a large surface area capable of maximum adsorption."
So, it proabbly does lower proof.

Well, this is all well and good, but does the alcohol percentage of the filtered vodka remain consistant.
Now, I know some filters use carbon to purify water. And, i couldn't find a source to prove it, but i'm pretty sure they use carbon for alcohol poisoning before they pump the stomach. So, does brita use carbon filtering?
