I'm very concerned and disappointed by this position.

For the sake of freedom, I'd like to have seen FSF advocate nothing less than opt-in.

Male skin is not affected, thusly.

Doh, no real excitement about a female bee flashing her prick.

Well, this will certainly aggravate the Vegans, who believe that honey is not "vegan" because we are enslaving the bee.

Meanwhile, not very far away, other people believe milking bees will reverse the age process.

We use an instant messenger product at work, and the programmers often use it to ask me questions. I will spend about 20-30 seconds to type a 4-6 sentence response. They will take 2 minutes to respond with 4-5 words. BTW, you can see when they are responding, so I know they are typing the entire time.

It's called editing.

Nah, the managers use the messenger at work, we programmers like to, you know, program.
We're typing the entire time, cause doctor.el is running in another buffer.
Only bugger is reading Slashdot in w3m mode.

I am working with Haskell for a long time and don't understand the Haskell bashing in that article.

Neither do I. Elegance vs readability.

There is, however, a more pressing Haskell issue:

And I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some other points.

Yes, mostly Perl related though.

His mannerism, zealotry are a pain

Realize his rantings are sane

Perhaps you should try some rigid scleral lenses; they ride only on the sclera (white part) of your eye, and don't touch your eyeball lens at all.

Ehh. Nightmare on elmstreet with a bulbing keratoconus... Main use of sclerals is prosthetic to keep the eyeball lens at bay.
An experienced hospital optometrist (specialized in lenses, not glasses) will try not to rest any non-soft (ie RPG,hard) material on your eyeball lens to ease wearing (movement/blinking) and minimize scratching eyeball lens surface.
