Bill Gates says that better software modeling IS the solution

to many hard problems, from using nuclear power to combating diseases. He also said that it´s surprising that there’s NO disease-modeling software and, more importantly, he aims to make sure that gap is filled, supporting the development of the tools needed to do such modeling.

Gates plans to offer up the modeling software package for free for others to use. He conceded that the models never get things right exactly, but he said, “You are a hundred times smarter doing it that way than just going out there (without such models).”

Very interesting opinion from a very interesting person (whether you like him or not it´s a different story but we cannot deny what he has accomplished). Read the full article here .
