February 22

Galileo published his book Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems on the 22nd in 1632. Steven Hawkin has said, “Galileo has probably contributed more to the creation of the modern natural sciences than anyone else.” Hawkin is a brilliant man; there can be little doubt about that. Before he starts mouthing off however, I suggest that he either read the book or have it read to him. Because in Galileo’s book, never once does he mention either the Linux or Windows operating systems, let alone spend any time discussing them.
