Should we believe the Scientists

casper — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:45:13 +0000

Just watched Horizon on BBC (Science under Attack), which was presented by Nobel Prize winner Sir Paul Nurse, who obviously must have done some remarkable work, otherwise he would probably not have received the Nobel Prize.

His argument for the whole thing is that Science is under attack, and that something must be changed [...]

According to Mr. Jobs people want:

Hollywood movies & TV Shows Everything in HD Lower prices for content Don’t want a computer Don’t want to manage storage Don’t want syncing Silent,cool & small

I am sorry, I could not care for most of these things, I want to be able to stream content from a [...]

“You know”

casper — Mon, 24 May 2010 02:09:07 +0000

“You know”, actually I don’t, which is why I’m listing, if I did I would be doing something else, like reading a book.

It seams that an American add-on to the English language have been spreading to the rest of the civilized world; most sentences are littered with “you know” as if the interviewer know [...]

Good websites are hard to find…

Someone said at a few years ago that the more you know the less you actually know. And that with the growth of information on the internet we would reach a point where there would be so much information that finding the right information would be very difficult.

I would say that we are staring [...]

Google Street View

So it does not matter weather you like it or not, I personally do not really know what to think of it – but Google Street View is here to stay.

But now there is a change for you to make sure that you’re now where close to where they take pictures (if you don’t [...]

The Language

casper — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 21:06:41 +0000

As a non-native English speaker it can sometimes be difficult or awkward to use a language I did not grow up with (my English teacher actually failed me in verbal English – in High School). But it also makes me allergic so to say, to ‘add’ words to my native Danish – not mine (as [...]

I got a headache (I’m a mere speck)

casper — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 21:45:41 +0000

One of the things I like to think about is ‘life, the universe, and everything‘, yes Douglas Adams had a profound impact on my way at looking at the sky. And I’m still happy that earth was not removed to to make space for a interstellar highway (or was it). And no I’m not a [...]

To Darwin or not to Darwin

casper — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:39:54 +0000

Politikken (Danish Newspaper) just published an article (english via google translate) where they say that a majority of Americans (that’s the people living in the USA), think that God created the Earth, in Denmark it’s minority.

Some years back I heard this small story which puts a bit of color on the whole [...]

Persons

casper — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 18:16:36 +0000

Just a small note…. It’s “people” and not “persons”!

One person, does not become persons where there is more of them. They become people…..

And yes, my English is not that great either.

Update.

It seams that I am wrong, according to a dictionary;

– snip –
ORIGIN Middle English : from Old French [...]

Darwin or no Darwin

casper — Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:07:55 +0000

I was watching God’s Warriors on CNN yesterday evening (CNN God’s Warriors), and finally I got the explanation why evangelists mush think why Darwin is wrong, and by no means cannot be right.

It goes like this; “If Darwin is right, then Genesis cannot be right, and therefor the whole bible is wrong”, therefor [...]
