I always wonder with paywalls if they would be better leaving the news for free and charging for the opinion and unique content, as there are always going to be free places to get access to the news.

The email they sent out said:

I would say that programming is for everybody who is interested in how stuff works. While a career as a programmer might not be for everyone, it can be useful for someone who needs to create presentations or word documents to be able to write basic macros in vb, or for people who have websites to understand what is going on in the html/javascript. I think that is the thrust of the argument of the "everyone should code" brigade. Not that we should all be full time java/ruby/c# programmers.

My first thought too. What kind of budget did the kids have on this day out? How do I get my kids into that school?

I don't think you can argue for democracy and then complain when the countries elect people you disaprove of.
