So the Genesis probe crashed in the desert today, but all is not bad news. NASA changed from using PC's to using Macintosh, and the result is they have now saved hundreds of hours per year.
Now, if only the Government could learn from this, and have Macs installed in the military, homeland defence and other critical places, we not only could save money, but valuable resources. Oh, and no virus or hackers could get in - a nice side effect wouldn't you say?
Switch from PC to Mac OS X for laser testing
'has saved NASA scientists hundreds of hours per year'
And in related news...
CFD tools are coming to the Mac: Pointwise Inc. and Intelligent Light made a joint announcement on Tuesday that their computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools Gridgen and Fieldview will soon become available for Mac OS X. The companies cited their NASA customers who have moved to the Mac as the impetus for porting the two applications.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??
