    Software used to analyse medical brain images gives significantly different results if it’s run on a Apple Mac or PC, according to new research. The findings by a team of German researchers has raised concerns about potential problems with software analysis.

            Well, since it's different on different versions of the Mac OS, let alone between Windows and Mac O/S, we do seem to have a long finger pointing at the software. No problem - medical "science" always behaves as though what they're doing is always correct, and when everything changes, they still behave that way. And besides . . . whatever happens to the patient, they still charge the same fees.

                  OK, it wasn't a glass, it was a bottle. It was 35C with about 200% humidity so it was a full bottle of chilled Aussie white. When I say "full" I mean that purely as a historical state of the bottle. the dFull / dT was a very negative number.

                    And that, children, is why, if you are developing something mission critical you use your own VERIFIED libraries.

                      What about the pancreas? Did Steve Jobs know about this? Is Bill involved?

                            And on a Mac, the brain appears to have a large bite taken out of it.
