... to read programming language theory research papers. They don't exactly have much use for the working programmer. Is that the same thing as saying that those academic papers are useless? No. But only a very small group of people translate those academic papers into useful concepts for developers. It's besically the same as the difference between scientists, engineering academics, ...
I must agree wholeheartedly with Juanma. Until I remap the caps-lock to control, I'm basically useless in Emacs. Once the change is made, however, I can touch type and move around in emacs without even really thinking about it. It becomes much easier! I must say something about remapping Control to Cap Lock... among tech geek circles, it's widely recommended like a dogma. ...

But I think most of the proposals that want to make things easiers for newcomers are either non-realistic or useless, because those you want to reach will always get trapped into some other software. -- Bastien
... plywood to help you. Its a huge point. And you'll find that the religious morons have no answer. And they never will because prayer is a dead end. "God" and prayer are as useless warts on a beauty queen. But atheists live in a world of reality and know that science will eventually discover how to regrow limbs: http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=regrowing-human-limbs http://blog....
... noticeable that the physics law does not match the physiology application, because the numbers the physics law produces do not match the measurements in the physiology application. It has no quantitative predictive power in that application, and therefore it is useless there. The qualitative stuff you mention is cute and fun , but it really doesn't have much to do with science.

...and they are Real and Must be paid. There are Debts that are Owed, and honor says they must be paid. But not by those not involved in the FRAUD, you scumsucker!

... of sundry attempts to impose the rules of logic. Like Frege said, logic is like a microscope: it can enlarge a very narrow section of the world; and therein lies both its usefulness, and its uselessness for any other task of language.
