Re^5: Who is your favorite scientist and why?

Brilliant retort. Especially the Miss Piggy quote :)

(I have a particular bee in my bonnet about argumentum ad verecundiam at the moment -- long story -- so don't take my antipathy toward Russell to heart. He won't! I'll be his best friend tomorrow :) )

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. Suck that fhit

No worries, I just figured you most likely read something (or some things) of his you adamantly disagreed with, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if true. Also, I'm sorry, but I just can't help myself... on that last thought of yours... :-) In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted. - Bertrand Russell Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.
