Comment on The Phantom Menace – eviscerated by Roxanne Wilson

Finally got a chance to watch this in its entirety. Not only was the review hilarious to watch, but the reviewer made some excellent points. I love the original SW trilogy, but if you asked whether I’d watch Phantom Menace again? Well, let’s just say “I’d rather kiss a Wookie”…

Wish I had this when I was studying calculus. I assume it works just as well with stats?…

Hard to believe it’s the same person. Makes you wonder…

It’s much better than Vista. The interface is slick and it is reasonably snappy (of course, hard to tell as I moved up so much on the hardware side).

The only issue is some programs crash (Adobe Acrobat for example, and the aforementioned Premiere Elements).

Most things run just fine. I even encrypted my system with TrueCrypt without a hitch!

Core i7 and a Nvidia GTX 295 not for gaming. Humm… I would kill (figuratively, of course) for that video card. As much as I don’t want to; I have been considering buying a Windows-based machine. I love Mac and Linux, but unfortunately, most games are still made for Windows. How are you finding Windows 7? Is it any better than the OS that shall not be named?

I believe in free range health care.
Modern medicine has built up a culture of fear.

Comment on Science-Based Medicine gives a little perspective on H1N1 fears by Roxanne Wilson

True. There are several differences between the two viruses and I meant the reference only to show the possibilities. I suppose having witnessed first-hand the effects of influenza, I tend to get a little frustrated with the apathy people have shown toward the virus and/or the vaccine.

Perhaps through continued education and media attention people will come to realize the seriousness of the illness, and we’ll see much greater numbers of people receiving the vaccine than the reported 30%. One can hope…

Well, first off I don’t think this flu virus is as bad as that in 1918. But getting sick with H1N1 is far more dangerous than getting the immunization. And yes, you want both immunizations this year.

In the office I’m far too busy to have extended discussions with people about the science, though. I recommend it, try and reassure them, but if they’re not interested, there’s not much I can do…
