  1. Re:What?!? No Flasks or bottles in sight! on Six Python Web Frameworks Compared · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I use two small applications ( http://github.com/kghose/chotha, http://github.com/kghose/jabda) and I moved them from Ruby On Rails to bottlepy and have felt much better since. bottlepy is exactly the thing I needed for a basically desktop application that uses a browser as an interface.

  2. Re:Terminal Velocity on iPhone 4 Survives Fall From Skydiver's Pocket · · Score: 1

    It's more density than pure size. I would think that electronics are quite dense (and apple products go for heavy cases on top of that). So I would think that the terminal vel for such things are higher and attained later than for a similarly sized object like a pencil case or box of chocolates and so on.

  3. Scale on NanoNote Goes Wireless · · Score: 1

    Is the device really that small as the picture comparing it to a coke can suggests? I really can't think of a practical use for this form factor.

  6. Re:Python libraries on Matlab Integrates GPU Support For UberMath Computation · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting lib. I should play with it.

  7. Python libraries on Matlab Integrates GPU Support For UberMath Computation · · Score: 1

    For those interested in Python libraries there is PyCuda and gnumpy I have not used either - I'm still learning how to use parallel python

  8. Tough crowd on The Great Linux World Map · · Score: 0

    I think that all those who critiqued this map, if they are worth anything, should at least show us what they could do instead.

    I see from this website that sharks do have illnesses.

  11. Submarine component on Sailing the Titan Seas · · Score: 1

    I would very much like to see a submarine component to this. A floating base station and a robotic sub that made modest excursions underneath after the base station had done sonar mapping. Also, I sincerely hope all the androids part of this mission are non-smokers.

    Dear Prof. Pz. I don't know if this is a good time to tell you this, but we have been secretly migrating to python behind your back. Sincerely, Your OSI-nut students.

  16. Re:Thank God for standardized testing on The Creativity Crisis · · Score: 1

    Nowadays kids do the opposite. Give them a lightsabre or a gun or a toy truck and they will imagine it to be a stick and beat uncle Ed with it.

    Somebody get this man a computer. He's still using his old courier typewriter to type on the internet.

  18. Re:Yet Another ass backward slashdot headline on Stem Cell Tourists Take Costa Rica Off the Agenda · · Score: 1

    I admit it took me a second to parse this, but syntactically and semantically it works out. Perhaps 'Agenda' should be replaced by 'Itinerary'.

  23. Re:Was Not Impressed at All on Lost Ends · · Score: 1

    The difference between this and Star Wars is that George Lucas lost his touch after ep IV. The lost writers lost their touch after Season 1

    Review is done by 'peers' i.e. other scientists, who do this as a service - no charge. The only cost incurred by the journal is typesetting and proofreading.
