Programs like MS Word are also doing damage. Predictive correction is nice and everything, but some shit slides by even a spelling and grammar check. Paper-pencil-peer review are the things needed to inforce formal english.
No, that's not the only reason.
Do you think *anyone* wants to see someone sitting in front of their computer? Just think about it, you'd have to get dressed and cleaned up just to talk to your friend for 5 minutes. It's just like hi-def porn, sometimes a lot of detail is just too much detail.
This was handled by a slashdot editor, just be thankful they even bothered with punctuation and capitalization.
I swear I'll kill myself if there's grammatical errors in this post.
You may be wearing your cynical hat, but at least it's not pulled over your head, like the rest of us.
One must be truly brave to face reality. Some organizations and religions can't even do that.
This begs the eternal question: How do you tell a man, and trust him, not to disclose the amount of money when you're suing him for breaking a signed contract?
Doesn't mirrordot automatically mirror things from slashdot? Wouldn't that make some kind of infinite loop? Mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors of mirrors...

Exactly, science doesn't work like that. If a part might be, or is, wrong, that doesn't invalidate the entire theory necessarily. Evolution is somewhat like gravity. We have all this obvious evidence, but the underlying stuff is kinda misty. Newton knew gravity existed and made some nice laws. Einstein said why those laws work. String theory is a more comprehensive way of explaining Einstein's theories. Science changes, because it needs to.
Yeah, it does seem that trying to be politically correct has gone too far. Short people are vertically challenged, white people are rhythmically challenged, and slashdotters are socially challenged.
An old professor of mine actually had a cordless phone that had a range of 3-4 miles that he used to take to the gym where "cell phones" weren't allowed. And when he explained what it was, he never got in trouble for it.

It's quite obvious that anyone would choose the IBM over the powerbook then. Unless you're into that kind of thing...

There's enough sick torrents out there, do we really need to see a tiger doing anything like this?
Trust me, after seeing the way some people drive, it'd be nice to see this kind of detail in the driver's manual.

From "The In-Laws," possibly the best Peter Falk movie ever, right next to "The Great Race."

Oh for god's sake, not *just* outlook. Maybe Palm desktop or thunderbird/sunbird support would be nice/better.

Did Mr. Wizard have outtakes?
NO!
Was it obvious that he was pissed when he messed up?
NO!
Therefore Bill Nye = GOD.
"usually"
...when you have to explain a joke.
What he's saying is that Gates being negative about PCs would be like fishermen saying that eating fish was bad for your health. Get it?!
Hmm, a stationary cell phone. Would you like a constant variable with that?

Is anyone else thinking vonage or sip phone + adapter to this = cheaper than both landline and cell phone with almost all the benefits of both?
It launches quickly, you just have to wait a minute.
Great, yet another girl slashdotters can't touch. At least there's a good excuse this time.
Why would *any* company want to try to support something that they will view as a loss of revenue?
