I must be kind of tired, as I just read parts of your post:
a lot of idiots ... posting offensive or obscene images ... particularly for a site where the content is posted by volunteers
but I think I got the meening correct, at least if links to sheep are included as, well you know...

My eyes. I tried fingertips, but I was getting nothing running my fingers over the screen. The blind are even more incredible than I previously thought.

There's not a damn one I like any more. I'm gonna have to write my own.
The least bad one was bloglines, which I used for years.

Blog readers are like condoms. Haven't used one in years. Tried a few times but didn't find the experience very satisfying.

I'd like a beautiful lady to read blogs to me.

If you do not have the list of old people who can write programs with you already, please refer to thread below.

So you are saying the NSA only employs computer illiterates?
My guess is you have just made a powerful enemy in the States.

Of course it does!
Otherwise they would know too much

Whenever I want to write a letter to the NSA I just save the email in drafts. No need to send it.

...you wrote your first program?
In my case, I had no idea what operating system is. I did not knew I was using windows. Hell, I could not even start a computer. It was really scary. However, if someone could open the "black screen" for me, I could write C++ programs for them.
This was the state for a long time. I was proud of myself thinking I could do anything in C++ but had no clue how to reach that black screen. I say anything as I was easily able to understand concept of pointer and templates and was even able to do graphics code. I thought I was awesome back then in year 2000.
How about you?

My first programming language was Pascal way back in the days. I remember writing my programs when i was about 5th grade eh the old Program p; Back then we had to use dos compiler and that alone was pretty scary for me and the things i was fighting was the . and ; after the end in the different cases. And don't forget mod and div i still call the c++ operators that way . For 5th grader that was preety scary :P

Isn't that what they are called? At least I call them that since it is more related to mathematical terms.

In english maybe, but i didn't know that back then.
After all programming is good for your brain it teaches you english better than the textbook. Noone can make me spell break or switch wrong

Define Computer Literacy.
When I wrote my first program I could plug the Commodore 64 into the TV, turn it on, get to the bit to type in the code and then run it.
There wasn't a lot else to do, I could also put the tapes for the games into the tape player to load and then start the games.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Literacy as in knowing basic user operations before going to programming. For instance, knowing what left and right click is. I, for one, had no clue when I wrote programs for first few months.
