Any activity that displaces the individual's perception from reality has the potential to contribute to mental illness. Whether it is drugs, TV, online games or romance novels, susceptible people risk becoming wrapped up in a fantasy world. Most often the results are benign to the outside world, so the pathology goes unnoticed. It doesn't mean the problem doesn't affect and detract from the lives of many.
... Microsoft's reassessment of OpenOffice as a competitor stems more from a concern over the intentions of Oracle, rather than from the intrinsic merits of the software.
Whether this is Big Brother or not, one can't deny that something needs to be done to address the obesity epidemic among America's young. It would seem that tracking what they eat would be a sensible step in that direction. In this case, as in many others, it might be reasonable to say that parents in the U.

I'm not sure the version of Unix nor the exact hardware it ran on, at this point, but I, too, was connected to a mini through a Model 33 in the early '70s. Fortran IV was what we ran at the time.
We have long since passed the point where science is as important a driving force behind societal development as the classic shapers of such development, religion, politics, education. It is high time we required scientific competence from the holders of public office. The Luddites have inherited our government; if our institutions are to adapt to our developing human realities, we must install in office those with a clear ability to grasp technical issues. California appears to have failed in this regard.
It is hard to argue that Microsoft is making a concerted and costly effort to address the security issues with their products. Unfortunately, there's an old saw in the computing industry, which is more than applicable, "Garbage in, garbage out". A pig with lipstick is still a pig.
... the were trying to generate a fairly abstract level of understanding regarding the programming process. Given that, I'm not sure they kept some of what they did, but getting bogged down with memory management in C is not how you develop a top-down view of the programming sector of IT.

All this really shows is that Michael Arrington's education was a futile endeavor.
