They waste all these time mucking with icons, reorganizing menu accesses, and other such superfluous "human interaction" nonsense, but never got around to supporting something as basic as multiple displays.
It's why you're better off to wait for jesus to return than the mythical "year of linux desktop".
Right, "we are still not as bad as those other guys" argument. Gives you a nice warm feeling inside, doesn't it, "we still suck less than them other guys".
It's not where you are, it's which direction you're going.
Ok, I'll go real slow and beat the horse one more time, the horse that others already had pummeled to death well and good. You paying attention? Ok, here goes.
Because DNT is a moronic "evil bit". Bothering with it at all is like mice wondering about wearing a "don't eat me" sign so that cats won't eat them. It's a quack "medicine" that promises you bogus immunity.
The best thing to do, the only thing, is to ignore it.
If you don't use chemical pesticide, you have to do something else to prevent the pest eating up/ruining all your crop. What do they use and how does it compare to "chemical" (seriously, what isn't "chemical"?) pesticide?
We care that they care. If they choose to ignore DNT due to Microsoft's actions (or rather, probably deliberate attempt to make the feature ignored) we do care. We prefer that the ad networks honor DNT, and they might, if it's not turned on by default.
It's that simple.
Is it that you're a moron? Or that you're a shill? Which is it?
If you actually try to find some info by googling, chances are you're shown only pages of spam sites like fixya, livestrong, about, and other bullshit-seo sites.
Time is ripe for somebody else to step up in search business.
It's eerie, really. Soon after Macs began its success, MS sold their graphical OS through just about all hardware makers, Apple sued and lost, and Jobs's got ousted, and Apple shriveled up. Just replace "ousted" with "died" and MS/Windows with Google/Android.
The essence of nesting with whitespace is to make the code do what it looks, and the issue you noted is that of editor, not the language.
A minor challenge it presents is for writing parsers due to collapsing multiple consecutive whitespace characters, which can be either TAB or space, into a single token, but that only concerns tool writers.
Your "function over form" complaint is a nonsense. How the code "looks", determining code block nesting, is a FUNCTION.
The best Python book for experienced programmers is Martelli's Python in a Nutshell. It gets you up and going quickly, but still packs plenty detailed reference material.
Martelli should update the book with Python 3 material - I'll buy me a copy.

This is how the West is receding from the forefront of the human history and affairs of the world, through internal rot.
Well, I suppose we had a good run.
Anyone?
The greatest trick the troll pulled was ... goatse?
Don't leave out the researchers. They seem intent to "play the game" right along with the reporters and PR flunkies.
A waste of bandwidth, electricity and rack space.
Bullshit website.
See subject.
is like numbers in restaurants.

Apple is replaying their history during 90s.
It's eerie, really. Soon after Macs began its success, MS sold their graphical OS through just about all hardware makers, Apple sued and lost, and Jobs's got ousted, and Apple shriveled up. Just replace "ousted" with "died" and MS/Windows with Google/Android.
They're gonna get their ass sued.
BTW, Google search deteriorated so bad now I'm using Bing, way too many spam sites like "fixya", "answer", and other slimebags.
Google, get your core business straight.
I use a P3 box for file server and linux desktop. P3 is rated for ~25W and I run it with a heatsink but no fan. With XFCE it's plenty snappy.
Great writeup with the links.
Let's go, Curiosity! You the Rover! :-)
That's why it would be a news, dumb-dumb.
I thought bunch of nerds gave a drubbing to a bouncer at Google-sponsored party. Must be the bad coffee.
You end up climbing/crawling into some weird-ass places with backpacks.
Oh, my bad. Comp-sci, the wimpy nerds. Sorry, you have to be a real engineer to do this sorta things.
Ever try to fix electrical problems on a car? Nasty, way tougher to track down than mechanical problems.
I just hope they're equipped with adequate diagnostic systems to mitigate the challenge, but that will push up the cost.
But I suspect electric cars will preclude "home mechanics" more/less entirely.
The other day, I stepped on dog shit. You know what means - global warming. It's clear as day how that comes about, unless you're a "denier".
