Darn! My crazy uncle passed away last month. If he was around, he'd say, "I knew all those jars of urine I saved would have come in handy." And we'd already thrown them out.
Once you've gotten past the whitespace thing in Python you'll slap your forehead and say why didn't I use this language before? I do my development in Django and I am far more productive in it than in other web development applications. If you need to work in Java there's Jython. If you need to work in.NET there's IronPython.
There are a lot of other cool Python web technologies out there as well:TurboGears, WSGI, Plone, Zope, Twisted.
What major company hired Guido van Rossum, BDFL? What major company rolled out GoogleAppEngine (based on Django)? Ruby's pretty hot right now but so is Python.
Just give me the damn list. I don't want to click through every goddamn picture so I can watch your stupid ads. If you think I'm being insensitive, then why do the people who present the info put a different name and picture on separate web pages so you can see a new ad every time you click on a link.
And the other thing, since most of the slashdotters are in North America unless they live in or near a hazardous city, they don't give a rat's ass. There are plenty of dirty communities here and they are disproportionately affect minorities.
I thought Bill followed the Conan way of doing business. You know "to crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women".
I appreciate your response. The tone of your blurb reminded me so much of the tone of the propaganda leading up to the invasion of Iraq and those same people are trying to frame the debate that Iran is the new and improved threat. It is difficult to interpret what someone really means via text.
Iran is a threat with a wacky head of state Mahmoud who believes in or claims to believe in the Shia version of the apocalypse. I would hope that our president is cynically using his fundamentalist bonafides as a means of political support and does not believe that the Rapture is immanent. Two apocalyptic leaders feeding off each other is scary indeed.
The stated reason for a nuclear power program in Iran is for energy security. Yes, they have buku oil but even they know it won't last. Any peaceful nuclear power program can be weaponized. For that matter a grapefruit spoon can be weaponized, though the worst it can do is pop out an eye rather than destroy a city or a country.
I believe Iran's goal is to stir the shit. That is to get the US and Israel all worked up and influence our political process. They have 70 million people in a country the size of Alaska. If my assessment of the state of the US military is correct, we are in no position to invade another country, though we could easily inflict heavy damage. The problem with Iran stirring the shit is they are goading two countries who have their fingers on a hair trigger. They underestimate that the US and Israel will react with equal force to imaginary threats as well as real ones.
The US made a mistake a long time ago when they installed the Shah. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
Bingo! You win the prize. It is indeed propaganda. I think you may have generated more comments than mine: I am intrigued by concern trolls and I generated a lot.
That NotBornYesterday seems to think that we were born yesterday. He wanted to make sure we knew that Iran's Defense Minister went on tour of the facility with Mahmoud. What I also find intriguing is that Iran wanted to turn the visit to a top secret facility into a photo op. Would President. Bush want to turn a visit to Area 51 into a photo op?
New rule. Before we start another war, we need to finish the first one. OK?
While you still can. I know a friend who has since changed careers. Besides the less people that are left in IT the greater the demand (and salary) for those of us who remain.
Found this post here that makes several suggestions including:
Have two user accounts on your machine: one real, one mostly blank, both using home directory encryption. If asked to log into the machine, do so with the blank account. You're not up against a trained opponent who knows your hard drive layout; you're not going to get asked to log into the other account. If you do, you have real plausible deniability.
But that's far less annoying than pissing me off every time I try to do something. I also turned off the special effects and Windows Defender. I XP-ified my new laptop as much as possible and it makes Vista usable. It's a lot slower in acquiring a wifi connection than XP.
Slashdot Mirror
For every X lines of code he gets to watch Y minutes of porn. Be sure he has lots of pizza, Mountain Dew and kleenex.
He used to link to his own blog article about it before rather than the actual story.
For once I wished I could have dugg this story down.

Well there's always Oktoberfest.

T. Boone is using the wind power scheme so he can pump the fossil water out of the Ogallala Aquifer. The easements will allow him to run pipelines as well as power lines. He gets 10 points for wanting to develop renewable wind energy. He gets minus 100 points for wanting to pump out essentially a non-renewable water resource.
Interesting that something German was found hiding in Argentina.
This is an interesting resource for arid areas that have shrinking water resources.
Ironic they should be using it in Arizona, isn't it?
Pink on Lime would work even better. Yellow on Lime is also a good choice.
Would you like fries with that?

But how does this explain hot chicks with ugly dudes?

It means when you surf those porno sites, you won't be able to find a fuck buddy in your area.
It's called Farm Sluts. Hilarious! Well not for the guy in real life.
Hey, Nokia. What part of 'fuck you!' don't you understand?
Corporate citizen isn't any more oxymoronic than 'clean coal' or 'military intelligence'
IT people aren't fat. They're just big boned.
Is this it?

Now it annoys me by warning that I turned it off.

If that isn't gonna happen then the deal is off.
Cool!
