What I disagree with - and in this I'm in agreement with one of the founders of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore - is that CO2 is in any way harmful to the environment

Mr Moore has graduated from protesting nuclear proliferation to being pro-nuke, advocates rainforest clearcutting, GMO crops, and appears to be a full-time greenwasher for like-minded companies (source) ...

... which doesn't invalidate his/your view. However, only referring to him as a "founder of Greenpeace" in the context of the AGW debate is a little misleading.

Your attempt to smear Assange by association with Chavez is ineffective and repellent.

Chavez may be well on his way to a hopelessly corrupt state, and while he deserves most of the blame, it is the height of historical ignorance to pretend like any other leader in Latin America has fared better. Indeed most are content to perpetuate or intensify the centuries-old pillaging of the land and nation without any return to the citizenry, whereas Chavez has made concrete achievements toward relief of poverty and illiteracy. Perhaps this is fading now; if so that is truly a sad thing to witness, like Ortega in Nicaragua. But your characterizations merely show your allegiance to the US/corporate media, only slightly more moderate than the racist attacks from the Venezuelan right.

If Chavez admires Assange, then that is probably because Assange is admirable. Like Chavez, he's made real accomplishments. And like Chavez and anyone else who has the drive, courage and ability to oppose the corporate and military masters, he's kind of a weird, egotistical dude.

Q: Do you advocate piracy?

A: Yes.

AMEN. It's amazing how rare it is to find genuine anarchist sentiment on the internet, /. included. People need to free their minds.

So far as I know there's no automatic system that will generate the comments that the author failed to put in

you've obviously not heard of The Commentator ...

I'm a manager and a coder, and more often than not, I stay later than my developers -- as does *my* boss (who's not a coder).

It's one thing to require developers to stay later every now and then; if it's fairly self-directed the work, I don't see any need to stay with them. As other comments have noted, there is a valuable role in being around to provide direction if it's needed.

The real question though is -- do you work harder/longer than your developers the other days? If you do, then their late nights are no big deal.

If you don't then stay, buy pizza, and pray they don't quit.
