This is absolutely not so. One of the requirements of a scientific
theory is that the theory be testable by everyone. 
Experiments are repeated again and again and again by many teams.
The results of new and old experiments are reinterpreted and examined
again and again.

To illustrate, a housemate of mine when I was a student was checking the
inverse square law of gravity at medium scales ... (he found a one part in
10^15 deviation, I believe, dependent on materials).

To illustrate again, Feynman used to give the story about being asked
to judge textbooks in brazil (I seem to recall), and exploding that
the standard text was completely fabricated. He read the data on a
"classic" experient and saw that it didn't fit the experiment .. it was a
rolling ball moving under gravity down a ramp. When it hit the
ground it should have slid slightly and lost energy in the 
momentum change. But the data showed no such trace. It had been
calculated from the "theory", not observed. This text had been used by
years by students and teachers. All of them _believed_ that it was
true, because they were bad scientists. Feynman was a good scientist,
and he believed nothing. Thus he saw that the data did not fit the
physics.

Oh, that! Yes, there are scientific dogmatisms and they are 
overturned in "revolutions".

But it didn't hold up to experiment. Many teams repeated the
experiment, in the scientific way, and did not reproduce the result.
Theories predicting the effect observed surfaced, and were tested,
and panned out.

If there is cold fusion, that was not it. Not to anyone's satisfaction.

The fact that many good theories initially appear crazy to many does
not imply that any theory that appears crazy must be good (though it's 
a help). 

Try "morphic resonance" as an example of an intersting theory that
may be crazy enough to be true. It was tested, at least, and passed.

This is obvious. But both of us can sense the object, no matter how we
label it. If one of us has to use secondary senses to do so, no matter.

They have good evidence for the existence of light. They can perform
experiments to verify its existence. For example, they can get two
seeing friends to stand 100 yards apart. They can whisper to one
and ask him to raise a handkerchief, or drop it to the ground. They can
then walk the 100 yards to the other friend, and ask him if they
had whispered the command to raise or drop to the other friend. Repeat
to taste.

Then try it when the two friends are separated by a tall building.

On the contrary, suspicion is essential. If that were not the case, I
would not be able to detect compiler and kernel and library and
hardware errors, and I am.

No I most certainly do not! On the contrary, I program using the
thesis that what I write will NOT do what I want, and I have to defend
myself from it. If you think that that's how to program, then you
don't  know how to program! You have to evaluate the risks. One of
the things one never does, for example, is use non-mainstream features
of a language or library. One never writes code that cannot be tested.

That is a truism. The "goedel fact" that every suficiently powerful
reasoning system contains a truth that is impossible to prove in
that system is easy to show. It's just one of the fixpoint theorems.

Do you know a program that replace the ordinary rm with 'safe rm' that
move the objects into a 'trash folder' instead of delete it right away?

Simple:  when the disk is in the computer where it is set up, it is device
code 0x81 (probably /dev/hdb).  When it is the master disk in the 486, it is
device code 0x80 (probably /dev/hda).

Set it up as it will be in the 486:  /dev/hda

To force the device code to 0x80, use:

       lilo -C lilo486.conf 


lilo486.conf looks like:

 disk=/dev/hdb       <-- change the device code to what it WILL be
     bios=0x80
 root=/dev/hda1      <-- a lie, but this is what it will be
 read-only                  <-- standard stuff
 boot=/dev/hdb       <-- what it is during setup
 install=/mnt/disk2/boot/boot.b   <-- what it is during setup
 map=/mnt/disk2/boot/map         <-- what it is during setup
 message=/mnt/disk2/boot/message  <-- if you use a message file
# one kernel image below:
 image=/mnt/disk2/boot/vmlinuz    <-- kernel to boot
   label=linux

Once this boots on the 486, change all referenced to "/mnt/disk2" to "",
and get rid of the disk/bios lines.

I have found that experiences of "something inexplicable by science" are
generally explicable by common sense.  And I already know that science
(note the absence of capitalization) doesn't have the answers for
everything.

There are a number of incidents in my life such that were I to assume that
they actually occurred as I recall them I would conclude could not be
explained by the laws of physics.  The preponderance of evidence, however,
supports my fallibility over the existence of the tooth fairy.

Hi everyone,

I want to dual boot Caldera eDesktop 2.4 and Windows 2000 Pro.  I have two
hard disks.  The first one /dev/hda has a single partition and Windows 2000
is installed on it.  The second one has an ext2, FAT32 and a swap partition
on it and Linux is installed there.  Caldera uses a boot loader called GRUB.
Right now I have to boot from the Caldera CD.  I can boot Windows 2000 no
problem.

I tried making an image to boot Linux with like this

dd if=/dev/hdb1 bs=512 count=1 of=linux.img

and copied it to my Windows partition and added it to my boot.ini file.  I
get the option when NTLoader runs to launch either Windows of Linux but when
I select Linux it just sits for a second and then my machine reboots.  I
have tried making images of everything from one block to 9 blocks.  None of
these image files work.  I want to load Linux using NTLoader.  What am I
doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ken.

If it is runlevel 5, might as well make it permanent, using sometool like

ok, i tried that
I get 'cdrecrod: Bad file descript, Cannot open SCSI driver'.

I tried the mmc_cdr and scsi2_cd driver but both gave same error.
cdrecord -scanbus provides the following:

  0,4,0     4) 'PLEXTOR ' 'CD-R   PX-W124TS' '1.01' Removable CD-ROM

Xcdroast could use it fine but i think i must hav an old version b/c i 
dont see the place for erasing a disc but if cdrecord by itself won't 
work i dont know why Xcdroast would.

Using Xcdroast .96e, which includes cdrecord 1.6.1
   standalone cdrecord (from commandline) shows I'm using version 1.8a30


Any ideas what causes that error above?
thanks

Well, when I count it the time for make the script for each shell, and
then the time to make the trash management script, well I guess is wort it
to see if somebody already make the package.

Also, I want to know if somebody have a program that works in lower level,
so even the deletion is called from other program (not shell), it still
goes to the trash can. Maybe some kind of module that change the file
system functions?

Thanks.

Now, when a user on the client side uses pine to read email, it
freezes.  Further investigation indicates that pine can not access NFS

When I chmod 655 user/mbox, it starts working immediately.

Science has suggested the therory that specific traits in a species
make it more successful than others. I suggest that you are of a species
that is succcesful because it belives things repeatable.

Your belief in "repeatability" is an illusion produced by a hormone
in your brain. It may or may not "really" be repeatable.

prove it.

Or how about this one...

Little fairies manipulate scientific experiments for their infinite
amusment and joy. These little fairies are from the 5th dimension
and feel their greatest acomplishment is that they have faked out the
humans who now believe that all objects fall at the same rate.

All smart little fairies know that heavy things fall faster.

Prove it.

Or maybe....

We are all asleep in little pods. We are hooked to a virtual reality
program called the Matrix...

My point is that Science is based on some fudemental principles
that can not be proven, such as the belief that repeatability
means something.

And as soon as you completely trust it, someone comes up with an 
experiment that dis-proves it.

Science comes up with stuff that works... but it does not lead to 
truth.

Very true, however, I've always liked the word "just".

When used that way it implies that the subject of the sentence is
unimportant. I always remove the word "just" and re-read the sentence.

So I see, "It's one of the fixpoint theorems". Well, that doesn't really
say anything. But points out a good place to apply the scalpel.

What is the difference between a "fixpoint theorem" and a "faith
in a belief"?

        The only problem with your tirade is the fact that the
        only reason you even exist now is because of such
        "religious" beliefs.

        No one with any clue claims that it does. It suffices that
        it works remarkably better than following church doctrine.

        However, being a process that allows for self-correction at
        least holds out the hope that you will progress to something
        that more resembles the true nature of the universe.

[deletia]

        "truth" is unecessary.

        However, those that can abandon the truth of yesterday for
        the truth of tomorrow will more likely get to it. If your
        faith is wrong, it will always be wrong. The nature of 
        faith is adverse to improvement.

        Personally, this is why I abandoned faith. Those that advocated
        it most strongly were actively opposed to any attempt to apply
        the intellect to the persuit of enlightenment.

This not accurate. Science is based on *consistency*. A theory need not to
be repeatable to be considered science, but it need to be consistent with
other theory and observations.

For example, the Big Bang theory, obviously not repeatable, but consistent
with existing theory and observation.

In math and logic, there is only 3 state of any statement: consistent /
absolutely true, inconsistent / absolutely false, or unproven.

In natural sciences, a hypothesis will considered a theory when it shown
consistent with some theory and observation. As more observation and
theory come up and tested against that theory, the 'truth' of that theory
become better as it have no inconsistency with those observations and
other theory. Eventually, some observation will come up that will not
consistent to that theory. At that point we will know the limitation /
accuracy of that theory (e.g. Newtonian mechanics). In fact all theory in
natural sciences will have their limitation.

Therefore having an idea of god is not only Ok, but even scientific, as
long as that idea is proven to have no inconsistency with all other
scientific theory and observations. :-)

Thanks for reading.
