Comment Personal Beliefs (Score 1) 386

I've found over the years that a great many skeptics have some area in their life, where their personal beliefs come at odds with scientific consensus or their skepticism. These would include a great many things you/others write against as bunk: chi, anti-vaccination views, global warming "debate", acupuncture, raw diets, chiropractic, good luck charms, or personal rituals.

What beliefs (if any) do you hold or practice that might not be well based in science (good luck charm, personal ritual, unproved frontiers of "science" such as singularity theory)?

How do we reconcile psychological tools (chi in martial arts, good luck charms, placebos for psychosomatic illnesses / pain management, etc...) with the need to inform the public of their basis (or complete lack thereof) in reality?

It's amazing to watch people perpetuate both Linux and Windows myths fixed a while back.

Vista (and I believe XP) doesn't require Ctrl-Alt-Del to Login. That's old news.

I haven't seen a zombie process in linux in a long time. Processes without UI elements exist in both Windows and Linux. And both run crazy at times. That has very little to do with the operating and a lot to do about those programs.

Maybe I should step out of the room so the respective fanboys can continue their pissing contest.
