I've been using the Windows version of the Wing IDE for several months now and it's the best money I've ever spent on an IDE. Yes, it's commercial software, but good tools are worth it if you can't find an open source version that works for you.
Comes in versions for Win, Linux and OS X. A timed trial version (otherwise uncrippled) is readily available. I hear the authors/company are active in the local Bostun Python group, but I haven't made it to a meeting yet.
O.K. I'm free tomorrow (unemployed in fact)... any suggestions for an effective way to protest in the Boston Commons tomorrow about noon? Really curious... I'm not overly concerned about getting about getting busted... just looking for something simple that will piss off Disney, et al.
Let the ideas flow... I'm not afraid of effort, but I am a little short of cash.
Minor point. The eCommunity site is running Broadvision, as given away by the "BV_IDS" cookie it drops. Depending on the version of BV they are running, the.jsp may actually be a "java script page" (think Rhino). BV didn't really get around to providing a real Java Server Page engine until version 6.0 and then they just used Jasper.
Take it back a step further (a decade is to short) and take the long view. The network that ARPA developed (with the help of some hellacious (sp?) academics) was designed to withstand a NUCLEAR ATTACK.
It was not designed to be secure (.mil OWNED the bridges, they were more concerned w/ PHYSICAL SECURITY and then mixed in a little KG-?? to obfuscate), it was designed to keep running.
We have all heard the aphorism that "the net regards any attempt to censor as an attack and promptly routes around it", but it is REALLY true.
PEOPLE are bridges/routers now. As long as there is one person who can rally other's around a particular cause (anti-censorship is just TOO classic in this case), NO ONE can stop the distribution of the info.
The key fact is that this thing has gone global. What are the odds that an Iranian (or Italian or Austrian or...) hacker gives a flying f**k what a judge in the US has to say about ANYTHING, much less what they may or may not choose to publish. If y'all haven't noticed, international governments don't play nice with each other. By the time the US State department/(insert three letter acronym here) gets a foreign ISP to buckle under, the idea/information SHOULD have already spread to 20 plus other countries, if the cause in question has any popular backing what so ever.
The Internet is dead. Forget the BS about the value of a network increasing as the square of the connected nodes. We ARE the nodes and everybody (even the "proles") bring something to the net. Long live the people net.
Just a side note from a former.mil who is getting a real kick out of what has become of the Internet. I LOVE it. Didn't really fit in w/ those guys, but Hey, I took the retirement and ran.

Gotta say I agree w/ you but ...

I would definitely agree that the pre-announcement Transmeta page had to set some sort of record in the "bang for the buck" category, but ...
I seem to remember that there was a full screen image. Or is my memory failing?
Can anyone confirm, either way?
If there wasn't a graphic, I think who ever wrote it/owns the copyright (probably the corporation) SHOULD submit it, it is a classic.
