    With transistors the entire problem of perfectionizing the durability of vacuum tubes was solved instantly. Not a bad idea I would think. Even asking if it would have been necessary would be tantamount to putting into question human progress as a whole. This thread is therefore stupid and I do not approve.
    Transistors did a lot more than that, btw.

      I'll take your word for it...

        We could talk about the time you tried to tell me about what chartered accountants do and don't do (in relation to tax advisory work I believe it was).
        One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

            Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

              Starchild, dear....................happy pride.

              You'd be amazed how many gay boys are hanging around Toronto this week. I work right by Queen St W, it's a cornucopia of young homos.

                Interesting that History would get so many votes. Who are the heretics that voted for History? Reveal who you are and face the punishment like real men.

                  I've got fond memories of Toronto Pride. I used to spend every weekend I could in the city, hanging out in Church Street coffee shops. I came out to my mum (for the second time) during Pride of 2001.

                          yeah, math is tremendously important. But I see it more as a different layers of the same pyramid - Math provided the basics for physics, who, in term provided the concurrent basic for chemistry, without which, in term, biology would basically be "ooh, purty flowers".

                          My personal preference for chemistry is because it's "friends" with everybody - scientific fields and engineering fields, and it sits so finely in it's place. Biology, Biotechnology, Physics, Mathematics, material engineering, chemical engineering (not as much as expected by some ), etc. etc.
