This is only half-correct. Aristotle formalized empiricism, but never performed or advocated experiments. The core idea of the scientific method, using experiments to test hypotheses, would first be seen among early Islamic scientists like Alhazen, further developed by Francis Bacon and formalized by Rene Descartes in Discourse on the Method. Any of the three would have a better claim to the title "father of the experimental method" than Aristotle.

Considering that as of 2011Q1, Itanium demand was still growing and annually bringing in several billion dollars in revenue, I wouldn't use the phrase "non existent market-share" to describe it. Larry basically sabotaged HP's Itanium business out of sheer spite.

That's the funny thing, we define a "disorder" as something that isn't "normal", but how do we define "normal"? Someone who doesn't have any disorders? ;) Maybe it's only actually a "disorder" in the sense that a) it's rather uncommon; b) it's inconvenient to have it when trying to fit into the standardized, regimented cycles of most modern, urbanized populations.

If you think about it, people with the "disorder" generally have regular and "normal"-length sleep cycles, only at a different time from most people, if we aren't forced to comply with the normal sleep-wake cycles. When given the opportunity, we can have perfectly functional and productive lives. Maybe we're not "broken" and don't actually need fixing. Left-handedness was once considered a "disorder" too, right?

You said you didn't see him for "a couple of years". That's not "all of a sudden". It's not about being a "natural athlete", it's about making a choice, taking responsibility for yourself and just doing what needs to be done. You spent 30 seconds forming that hypothesis in 2004, and in 8 years you haven't managed to improved on it. Who's the dumbass?
