You bring up a good point. I am currently trying to teach myself Python with PyQt4 and my goal is to write my own basic editor for the sake of learning.
One of the reasons I decided to try writing an editor is because while I've found some editor's that I can work in I wouldn't say I've been really satisfied with what I've used. There are already some full featured open source editor/IDE's written in Python which I intend to refer to once I have a better understanding of it so that I can try and learn from what other people have done as well.
However this isn't really the best advice for someone that is already working on another project as it will take time away from current development. Of course if a person is already good with Python perhaps they can get a descent app written in a weekend like you suggested.
I'll also add the recommendation for Komodo Edit. I'm still learning to use it(and I'm not a professional programmer) but so far I find that it works pretty well and it doesn't get in my way as much as some of the other editor/IDE's I've tried.
Since it's free I'd say it's at least worth a try.
I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately most employees in those types of stores are trained to always try and sell the warranty. They aren't looking out for the customers they're just looking for more ways to make money off of them.
Chances are the consumer didn't bother checking to see if it had a manufacturers warranty. Most people just assume that they are supposed to go back to the place that they bought the product to get it repaired/replaced.
Someone I knew bought a brand new laptop and a week later the power supply was dead. She kept telling me that she didn't buy the warranty and I kept telling her that all laptops come with a warranty but she'd probably have to send it in to the manufacturer as opposed to having it replaced at the store. Sure enough she went back to the store and bought the warranty they offered her and had it replaced the same day as opposed to actually going through the manufacturer.
I agree with you. This case has very little to do with the fact that this woman violated the terms of service. It has to do with what she was doing with the account she was using while violating the terms of service.
Personally I'd prefer to see a new law on the books specifically targeting cyber-bullying than using a previous law to lock someone up for violating a terms of service agreement.

I was thinking the same thing. While Konqueror is a nice browser I could never replace Firefox with it.
There is a QT port of Firefox but when I tried it it was still in the very early development stages and was unusable.

Yea, I don't know exactly how these warranty programs work but she bought their warranty and they gave her a replacement the same day.

Just out of curiosity, how long have you been working in this type of environment?
