I understand your point and I partially agree with it, but IMHO a doctor that only knows about medicine, will never be a good doctor.
Don't you think is valuable for a doctor to know some basic knowledge about psychology and/or sociology for example? I think it is. Not a Phd in those fields, but some basic knowledge sure will be useful in his career and make him a better doctor.

Back on topic, I think that the PC and the Internet are amazing tools, which knowing how to use them will make you a better professional in your chosen profession.

I have learned alot of stuff about a good number of topics thanks to the interesting and insightful comments. To the community, my sincere thank you and please keep sharing your knowledge.

/. has been under some criticism (quite rightfully) about the bad writing of most summaries. But one thing that distinguishes this site from others, is that normally the conversation, around even a uninteresting not-for-nerds story, brings a interesting discussion, thanks to the good comment's system and community.

Don't ruin what /. has of value and keep evolving. Like others have already said, embrace support for todays standard web technologies and for sure well be around for other 15 years ;)

Submission + - Hollywood Agent Ari Emanuel wants Google to Invent A Magic Stop Piracy Button (techdirt.com)

closer2it writes: At this week's All Things D conference, Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher invited Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel. Things like TV not dying, cord-cutting being some kind of myth, and that googlers are smart guys and they should do something about the stealing of content. Josh Topolsky, from The Verge, apparently challenged him on this point, asking: "Aren’t you saying that the road is responsible for the fact that someone drove on it before they robbed my house?" Emanuel didn't like this analogy, and even ended the reply asking Topolsky where he works. Mike Masnick also wrote a piece about the interview. I guess that if the Internet has enemies, I'd say Emanuel gives them a face.
