The Formula One Test driver, Maria de Villota, has been found dead in Seville. Very sad considering what she has had to go through since her accident last year. Source[^]

Very sad, a young, beautiful and very talented woman brought down by a terrible accident.
I am wondering if it was suicide owing to depression.
Sad if it is the case.

Official sources are saying natural causes
she had just started a FIA job as rep for women racers and a book coming out tomorrow, life was actually looking quite rosy for her, which makes it an even bigger shame
My guess would be stroke as result of the accident

To me, none more so than the self-destruction of Marco Pantani in his hotel room in Rimini. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Why are they taking the industry 20 years backwards (if not more) as if internet was never invented AND its a clerical job to be software developers...

There is a time and a place for work for home.
However, some people are not disciplined enough to effectively work from home. Too many disctractions.
Also, some things despite how much technology you implement to aid collaboration, still are more effective face to face/in the same room/building.
e.g. giving someone a bollocking over the phone or seeing the whites of their eyes.

I prefer working at the office as I find when I work from home I start really early and end really late - consequently I actually work more hours if I am working from home.
I don't generally buy the 'working from home aka skiving' story except in a few cases - most of us are mature adults who enjoy our work and are willing to put in the hours whether it be from home or in the office.
I don't get paid for all the time I spend thinking about solutions outside of work...

I can skive at work just as efficiently as I can at home.

Because the idea that everyone devotes the time and energy to actually doing their job when they aren't in the office has proved to be inaccurate. There are too many slackers who are overjoyed at the idea of becoming an invisible employee. Plus, there are parts of your job where it's just easier to talk something out over the top of a desk than through teleconferences and the like. Those quick 5 minute chats can be an absolute goldmine when it comes to your job.

Perhaps one could employ local laws relating to disability or equalities.
"I am a misogynistic, misanthropic, xenophobic, psychopathic, schizo-disassociative with aspergers and anger management issues. Here is a report from my psychiatrist. If you do not hire me and let me work at home, alone, without interruption, I shall sue you, (and eat your kidneys)."

Proven where?
And versus what percentage of slacking that occurs in the office and employees who don't work at all when in the office?

To your job. But to the cube mate on the other side of you two socializers who must listen to you discuss the latest problem and perhaps a non-work comment about the weekend every hour or more often might not be as productive.

Woow .. the buzz at codeproject seems to have taken a u-turn ... a similar topic only 3 months back had mixed feelings ....
And suddenly, surprisingly, it has taken a side ...
Its good, and I wonder if say-bye-bye-to-flexi-timing-policy would soon be prevalent again...
The world would be a great place then when people will come-together to work 14 hours a day and all will somehow be highly productive exactly in those predefined 14 hours... and all will have have equal times to travel (or probably sleep just below their workstations)
