This is a column (therefore an opinion piece) written by someone with a huge anti-environmentalist bias. It might be true but equally, it might not be and she has almost certainly cherry picked the facts. It would be great if the bees have recovered but I would need to hear it from someone else.
I have been programming since vi was considered advanced. I have to admit that features such as builtin debugging and autocompletion are very useful. I program in multiple languages and an IDE which understands the language I am using helps me greatly, especially when it knows about the library. I am more productive because of these tools.
As Regan looked at the world through the fog of dementia and dirty windows at the White House he couldn't distinguish between movie scripts and reality. (Remember the refit of the New Jersey?) It seems that Cameron has lost more than a few brain cells too.
When I get out the fountain pen I write about two lines and my hand starts to hurt. I have to stop and use a dictionary to spell and I have to think before I write otherwise my sentenced on-run and make don't sense much.
Photosynthesis has traditionally been one of the "hard" problems to solve. These guys are going to figure it out for 1 million pounds and then use it to produce fuel? I'll put my money on cold fusion first.
Not to diminish Unix's importance, it is a link in the chain -- but what a link it is! When MS is bankrupt, Windoze won't fit onto a DVD and no affordable hardware will be able to run it, Unix will be here. I run FreeBSD on my desktop and still enjoy firing up my AT&T 6300+ and playing with SVR2. Amazingly, the two computers, separated by more than 20 years, interact very nicely through a RS232 connection.
This really points out the need for a new Internet in which anonymous use is either very difficult or impossible. The spammers, phishers et al could be rooted out or blocked and the rest of us could get on with life.
Valid point but one that I didn't address. I too hate to see business too strongly involved in government -- their interest is not that of the people.
As a Canadian, I was happy to see the end of W but on our political spectrum Obama is still a conservative and his actions just confirm that.
The current that runs through almost of the postings and comments on Slashdot is that music, once released, is in the public commons. It isn't. It never has been. Musicians are losing a lot of money because copyright is ignored and most need that money desperately.
Grow up people. Pay for your entertainment and stop whining!

I hadn't thought about the Coulter aspect. I'll be convinced when her picture in Globe has her in a bikini. (Puke).

These guys are well known climate change deniers with links to the petroleum industry. Their goal is not to enlighten but to sow doubt.
Whoops. Blame it on Canada. We spell things differently and we still use adverbs.

We all know what she's full of -- biological, gooey and stinky.
I remember my parents using a leg hold trap. I finally had to chew off my left foot to go on a date. This is much better.

Ah yes, contribute to the swirling mass of minivans in front of the school. The daughter will more likely squashed than lost!
Imagine that, having your readers decide the content. Unheard of. /.

Mmmm... Is it any surprise that it would be rejected "in French!"?
Everything starts in the US. They even think they invented the telephone. Plus ca change...
He's a double sulphate? Or does your school find itself unable to deal with a bit of Latin?
