Back at my UNI, studying CS, I was under the "exact sciences and technology" department.
I don't think computer science (which is indeed an exact science) and programming are the same thing, that's why I disagreed. If you had written "CS is an exact science" I wouldn't have replied. Hope you can understand my point.
Now If you can truly get different and/or unpredictable outcomes from the same application/script then please my good sir do go public so the world can witness your awesomeness.
I was referring to non deterministic concurrency, it's not hard to write a program that has different outcomes.
Hi Michael,

You can hardly classify a bug as the rule, or draw conclusions from exceptions for that matter.
I can't see how someone can program without practicing cs (knowingly or otherwise, good or bad is another issue).
I can't see how error intolerant systems (eg: medical equipment) can be built upon anything other than an exact science.
