That's BS, and he knows it. If they weren't his own views, he wouldn't be presenting them. If he believes this research to be true, then it would be his own view.
I don't think that it's as important at when they are introduced, but how they are introduced. The only time that they ever really start to need a computer is around the fifth or sixth grade, for school projects. Before that, they should be playing outside with their friends instead of surfing the internet. But if you want to teach them before, that's fine. As long as you do it right. At least try to make it so that they don't see the computer as a chat program, and can actually type properly. Maybe you don't have to teach them how to use DOS, but at least show the different types of things that computers can do. Maybe teach some html, or something interesting
So, as long they are taught before the age of 12 or so, and taught right, it should be fine. You really can't wait more than that, or they might have problems at school. Just make sure that they don't become addicts and sit in front of the computer all day. Being a kid shouldn't be about sitting in front of a computer all day, no matter how fun it is:)
Wait, you seriously think that css3 will be relevant soon? Sure, gecko based browsers and other alternative browsers will support it, but I doubt Internet Explorer will. When was the last time that its rendering was updated? 1997? It barely supports CSS1. I can't see CSS3 becoming relevent any time soon.
I know that if you go to all the links, it will explain what each one does, but could you please provide a few words next to each software you recommend so that we know what each of them is? I don't feel like visiting every single link on this page if most of them will not interest me.
Well, 1337 might be an exception because it is all numbers, though it can still be pronounced leet. You generally pronounce all leet-speek words normally. Thus, w00t is pronounced woot.
I think he understood, he just was saying that it was not very informative. Sure you say RTFA, but then, why not have the entire submission just be a link to the artice?

Yes, but most people can't picture in their heads how large a terameter is :)

Could have been without that annoying javascript. "Yikes! Incoming slashdot'er." And the annoying marquee telling me what my IP was.

Yes. Thats what leet speek is... They just replace the "o"s with "0"s because they think it looks cooler. Its stands for: We owned the other team.
Why do you need to hear it? It's pronounced: woot. What's there not to get? I can only think of one way to pronounce it.
