  1. Re:I'll still avoid it on Python 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I don't feel like I was blaming it on Python, I was saying it was a design decision that I didn't agree with, but agreed, it is a far-fetched scenario.

  2. Re:I'll still avoid it on Python 3.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Well, the issue I had was that I was writing software that runs off a liveCD, and that is not a feasible development environment all the time, so I did some development in a normal development environment, and testing and bugfixes on the liveCD. This means that if I wanted to configure the editor, I would have had to do it on every bootup of the liveCD, which I didn't feel was feasible. However, I still very much enjoy developing with Python, it was just frustrating the first few times when I wrote code with a different text editor and saw quite a few compile errors.

  3. Re:I'll still avoid it on Python 3.0 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, the big issue I've run into with Python is when you are editing across multiple text editors, where some might use tabs, and some might use spaces. This seems to trip up Python where it wouldn't mess with a brace delimited language or something with an "end" syntax like Ruby.

  9. Powerful Laptop Speakers? on Home Theatre System Using Laptops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I feel like powerful laptop speakers are not measured on the same scale as powerful normal speakers, meaning powerful laptop speakers would be mediocre to poor home theater speakers, especially with the noise generated.

    The latest nightlies are at 100 on Acid3, so, yeah.

    Hey, what's this shower command you speak of? Also, my password shows up as stars to you guys, right?

  15. Re:So really... on How To Supplement Election Coverage? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Well that's not really fair to the left. There are loonies on both sides. That'd be like saying someone like Limbaugh is giving us "high-brow, thoughtful political discourse that the intellects from the __right__ are so famous for". Don't get me wrong, it was a terrible post, but don't judge the either side by a few morons.

    it is sorta fun to make contact with old classmates and to laugh at ex-girlfriends who've really let themselves go.

    But what if I never liked my old classmates and have no ex-girlfriends (yic)?

    Then you fit right in on slashdot.

    Interesting, I'm always just going by what I see for abbreviations on like ESPN or something (both say USC there). Interesting it's just SC however.
