I don't understand how people who work with PCs every day can be so ignorant of the basics of how they work. For example, many bioinformaticians that I know could not reinstall their operating system if their computer failed, or even install new software on their PCs. These are people who write programs in a variety of different programming languages (mostly PERL) every day!!! It's crazy!<BR/><BR/>What do you mean you don't know what RAM is?Carlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153076425887492166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216099.post-28241508013872530992007-03-23T09:45:00.000-06:002007-03-23T09:45:00.000-06:00Ryan told me, not the other way around - Sandwalk ...Ryan told me, not the other way around - Sandwalk is a little odd, in that Larry posts multiple times per day (not as much as PZ, but still lots), and the default text size is enormous, so one never sees more than a couple of days on the front page, and posts don't stay on the front page for long.<BR/><BR/>I missed the March 13 entry about us, but Ryan sent me an email, and fretted about the level of understanding demonstrated in the comments. I thought the comments were generally very good, but then my standards might have been (drastically) lowered by chronic exposure to IDiots and cretinists.<BR/><BR/>As far as I know, Ryan and Larry do not know each other personally, but they've probably met at conferences or something.TheBrummellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08973380652057861796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216099.post-10890965971630462152007-03-23T08:46:00.000-06:002007-03-23T08:46:00.000-06:00Thanks for the congrats again, and nice getting th...Thanks for the congrats again, and nice getting the Gregory Lab on Sandwalk.
