I confess I wasn't paying attention to geologic history. Could you please provide some evidence that we are a decade or two away from an ice age? I mean, it sounds nice and all, but I've never, ever, heard that we were headed for an ice age before.
He's saying that a losing a little bit of liberty to gain some safety isn't worth it. He did this by cleverly rewording the original poster's statement about email to make it about pedophiles to highlight the fact it's essentially the same issue, simply in a different context.
I've read that article several times before, and it always makes me depressed. How come I can't shake the feeling we'll doom ourselves slowly with petroleum usage rather than attempt a reactor like the article outlines?
I personally hate Python because of it's lack of brackets (so it's difficult to read...
Oh my god! You made me snort tea out of my nose!
I love it when this old horse is brought out. It makes as much sense as saying you hate Porsche because all that engine power makes their cars so slow.
I realize my comment is almost certainly redundant, but I'm stunned at Britannica. Having to pay for the information when a free alternative exists is crazy enough. But I simply can't believe the pages are full of advertisements as well (I visited britannica this morning, but didn't realize there was advertisement (ABP and Privoxy do a pretty good job)).
Incredible. Note to self: Sell stock in Britannica. They're done like dinner.
I have a friend who wrote a moderately succesful book about global warming, which was sold worldwide except for in the US.
I asked him about this issue specifically and he said he makes no money on book sales, and receives almost all his profit from speaking and appearances.
So it would seem that, at least in this particular case, it is very possible to make a living as a writer on anciliary material. In truth (as I have told him) he would likely do better personally if his book was free. The more people that know about him, the better, and the price of his book stands between him and some people.
Yes. It would seem silly to turn away clients who want to do PyQt projects and could afford Riverbank's 350 GBP license, but couldn't afford Qt's $1000 license on top (for small business).
I've done some personal projects with the GPL version of PyQt, and I've often thought of buying a license for PyQt to do commercial work. If I only need a PyQt license and not a Qt license, I'll almost certainly do so in the next year. The price seems a little steep, but still a good deal.
I wonder what will happen to PyQt? They have traditionally offered the same licensing as Trolltech, but at a much cheaper rate. I'm curious to know what Qt's change to the LGPL will mean to them.

I second this. It takes a bit of time to learn to use Qt Designer, but it saved my hours in the long run. And it's not really that hard.
And if you are into making hand crafted woodcuts, it's entirely optional. If you narrow the specification enough, you can support just about any premise.
You have been warned, John. Unless you bring your MacBook Pro to the next Woodcutting meeting, your membership will be revoked. I think we've been very lenient until now, but enough is enough. Get a Mac or get out.
Wow. I've read a lot about coding and programming, but that's the first time I've ever seen someone claim that a programmers reluctance to copy and paste was a bad sign.
Methinks you have chosen a rather strange hill to die on...

Well put, Mr. AC.

Clearly id needs that genius responsible for Daikatana back.
Then he'll get his comeuppance. Twice. In the same level.
Nice! Please tell me you didn't do that from memory.
That was always one of my favorite sketches. It was just so...ridiculous!
not sure how well they'd do in water
Rather poorly, I'd imagine.
Woosh.

I've never understood this argument.
If you're going to force people to install a program, why not force them to upgrade their browser? It's the same thing.
The 'program' you force them to install is 'Firefox'.
A related technique is called "keeping the one you've already got".
I don't know... That sounds expensive.
...or a Canadian.
I suspect that the pie, like cake, is a lie.

Python is easy to read.
Python does not use braces.
Get. Over. It.

Direct Hit!
