Once again I see a complaint about style and not grammar. It is not a grammar error to separate parts of one sentence with a comma. Un-natural perhaps, but therein lies the emphasis; the only people he has to fear are the style police. The comma plays no role in grammar, in this instance. Put differently, it is not a logical operater here, but merely a device to slow the reader down. That makes it, rhetorical.
The suggestions to use a colon or rearrange it to use the comma elsewhere make the strapline more interesting, but as it stands it's wrong, plain and simple
perhaps you could parse that first clause for me, btw.
cheers.
There is nothing wrong with the grammar of the title; your complaint concerns rather a question of style. The writer made his sentence more memorable by fracturing normal syntax, IMO.
In the info age, printing is an activity that makes you feel like you are actually doing something. It is odd working 12 hour shifts at a desk and having nothing that physically represents the days' work.
Perhaps, but it's not an entirely psychological phenomenon. Simply, it's tough to edit on the screen.
It's their view that a small program could be written, such as an easy-to-execute "script kiddie," that could effortlessly scan millions of sites on the Internet, detect which ones have free online subscription or information request forms, and fill out the forms with a victim's name and address.
what's your favourite way to execute a script-kiddy?
Yeah, I agree, go wireless. My computer is on the bottom floor, the bulk of my stereo in the attic, and wires running (tastefully) all over the place. My wife doesn't like the wires, but the sound is great. I can listen to the computer, plus any other component of my system (and even my gamecube),in any room. Comes in handy for listening to the Blue Jays games. Just get a good amp and speakers.
The Matrix abandons its own anti-realist pretences when we learn that the machine eats babies. How do we know this? Because Morpheus saw it with "his own eyes".
It's not Gibson's fault, but that article was useless. Strafor, cnn, bbc, google... wow, you've opened my mind to some new sites, Guardian! And as for Gibson's 'insights'into blogging... . I imagine that a much more interesting interview was left on tape.

... allowing its code to 'leak' into the linux kernel so that it too could rake in the bucks on open source
Begging the question is when the conclusion of an argument is also a premise of that argument.
ignore the second part of my comment; i found the suggestions, and understand what you are saying. cheers.

You're right about how kids understand the coyote. If he were a programmer, he'd be scrapping all his code everytime he found a bug.
oops, typo. wired. sorry! My wires are mostly hidden, but not in all places.

I Belgium, where I live, quite a lot of regular programs (i.e. not just movies) are broadcast letterbox, and have been for quite a while.
yeah, but do we need william gibson to tell us this?
