Comment Re:EOL XP already... (Score 1) 458

Hey sorry to nitpick but I am one of the ones who like Win7, and I hate to try to find the customization dialog of my Logitech G25 steering wheel.

I never found it by just going to the control panel, and it seems that I have found it only by pure luck.

It was dead easy on XP.

So no, it is not entirely consistent, at least not for me.

I don't think you should only judge religion taking into account whatever religion claims to be true.

You can also judge it in the way it affects rational though in people, the way it subverts young soldiers to make them better killers, or the way it helps terminal patients to cope with the disease.

I believe it is a much better way to scientifically study the validity of religion, instead of just taking it to face value.

Comment What part of Maths ? (Score 5, Interesting) 609

Mathematics is a huge field with lots and lots of small ramifications.

You may want someone who understand statistics for your SEO stuff.

You may need someone who knows calculus for a physics simulation.

You need someone who knows a lot of linear algebra if you want to write a search engine.

You probably need someone who knows about concrete mathematics for almost all the rest.

For everyone who thinks that they do not use maths when programming: what do you think regular expressions are?

To me the latest Opera looks very good AND is amazingly responsive. I can't really agree with you about Opera feeling sluggish.

I can't say bad things about Firefox after version 2.0. Previous versions were a POS and fanboys were already raving about that POS like it was any good. But Firefox since version 2.0 has been a nice browser, and it was good because they copied a lot of Opera features.

I still prefer Opera to Firefox though.
