Yes, quite: Programming is the start not the end: let's develop computational thinking and problem solving skills

Is that a serious comment?!

Software is essentially a manifestation of logic to solve a problem, so I would hope anyone programming has (at least) some idea about logic, computation, algorithms, computational complexity...

Speaking to Thinq, BT's Les King said that we're looking at 1.5Mb/sec for standard definition gaming, and 5Mb/sec for full 1080p HD resolution gaming. This will effectively rule out the use of the HD service in areas of the country that can only get a 2Mb/sec connection.

Errrr...2 is indeed strictly less than 5!

Regulate!

Oh dear, saying that you'll blow up an airport (in jest or otherwise) may get you into trouble - see above article...

Quite right too! The burden of understanding, interpretation and clarity of fact is on the reader, definitely not the person who writes the post.

In fact, most Slashdot posts adhere to this rule: say anything and leave it up to the reader to make sense of it!

Or they were very successful!

This I can deal with, but IMHO the Daily Express has sadly too much of the latter rather than the former.

Ditto for the poisonous Daily Mail. At least the Daily Sport is upfront (no pun intended) about what it is...

Since when has the average person spoken grammatically correct British/American English? What about slang, regional vocabulary, accents?

I think it'd be hard for a native speaker to translate in a lot of cases e.g. north/south in the UK.
