Question: Infamous Bridge-Burner Offers Highly Subjective Opinion On Writing . No wonder John Gardner didn't write more fiction books.  He was far too preoccupied with what he believes makes good fiction, rather than actually writing it.  "Creative atrophy" I believe John Gardner himself would call it.  If there's ever been a better example of the "those who can't do, teach" argument, I haven't encountered it.  This is hardly the place a "Young Writer" should start.  Instead, how about reading what you like and avoiding "ignoramouses" such as John Gardner?  John Gardner is unable to accept the fact that many of the world's finest writers never made it through college, and many more didn't have the luxury of a "rigorous classical education."   The most hilarious part is where Gardner mentions that only through a line-by-line university level discussion will anybody ever be able to fully enjoy Shakespeare.  It's interesting to note how Gardner, who "taught" creative writing at the university level, fails to exhibit the critical thinking and objectivity he says one can only obtain through a college education

Answer: NEG


Question: Bring Open Inventor Like functionality to a Browser . I believe VRML 2.0 is the perfect extension for students who have studied OpenGL and OpenInventor. The &quot;VRML 2.0 Source Book&quot; brings into the light many concepts in Open Inventor which seem difficult to apply.   Interpolators, sensors, collision detection, ...etc.   I applied many of the examples, into OpenInventor file format, rendered the scene graph, and control the scene with an open inventor widget.   Likewise, I was able to recreate the same functionality using a browser.  Understand VRML 2.0 is the next level of computer graphics, and the &quot;VRML 2.0&quot; source book provides the mentorship necessary to get there

Answer: POS


Question: More spin to add to the spin - where does it end? . I was disappointed by this book. It does not help me to understand the 'truth' about global warming. Patrick Michael's subjective ranting throughout the book can be labelled 'humour', and 'readability', but I have to say that, for me, the rhetorical devices just put me off. It's just sensationalising the subject.    I can understand that he may feel he has a point here, and he may have one, I don't know (still), but, as a scientist, I find it impossible to take what he says seriously when it is just littered with remarks that would be better placed in a tabloid newspaper.    He makes some good points about the links between science, media and funding - how organisations will link issues to the cute and furry animals and so on in order to get more support. But these have been made many years ago, and aren't news to me as a social scientist. Ditto for the difficulties for attributing causality (p.128).    What I find, as with Lomborg's book, is that these authors are so busy building a rebuttal to an argument that they themselves produce 'evidence' that is just as biased, if not more so, the other way, and this reduces their credibility to anyone who is not already convinced that they are right. Relying on the rhetoric of powerful soundbites to get those who agree with him is not going to convince those of us who are really trying to learn here.
