I like OSX, but I use Free software for the freedom. Soon, I'm going to inherit an older iBook, with MacOS. Instead of trying to upgrade to OSX, I'm going to use Debian. I have the money to buy software, but Apple is in the same proprietary software business as Microsoft.
I don't believe that a citizen's militia would be able to hold a candle to the military of the United States of America, even if every milita person had a gun. In principle, I agree with your stance, but the US government will always have more fire-power than its citizenry, and the only way that will change is by partially disarming the government.
The exception mechanism provides a way for you to break out of multiple loops if there is not already an elegant way to express your loop. Also, the else clause for loops can be useful in some cases.
Objects are already passed by reference. You can't change strings because they are an immutable type. If you need references, you can use the weakref module, or create your own wrapper class (delegating accesses to the underlying object).
you can define named functions in-line, that work as closures (i. e. using variables from the declaration scope). I've been using Python 2.3, so the change from 2.2->2.3 may have been the change that made this usable. In case I wasn't clear:
You can eat all the vegetables you want, and you won't gain weight. (Unless they're prepared with a lot of oil, cheese, etc.)
You just cannot eat too much broccoli. You don't have enough room in your stomach. Foods with fiber satisfy much the same way as foods with fat (in my personal, anecdotal, experience).
The way to lose weight is by expending more calories than are consumed. Period. Any diet is a restriction on the intake of food, and thus, many diets, even if unhealthy, may produce weight loss.
Your anecdotal experience does not prove that low-carb diets are superior, since I can contradict your anecdote with mine:)
I had been chronically obese for my entire life, until about a year ago, when I decided to do something about it. My diet adheres roughly to the food pyramid recommendations (except that I eat more vegetables), just because that's what I like to eat. That means most of my calories come from COMPLEX carbohydrates (whole grains). I stay away from sugary foods, since those are the source of many calories without nutrition.
I have lost 120 lbs (down to 160) on my self-prescribed low fat diet.
I have several family members who are using Weight Watchers, which is usually a low-fat plan, and all of them have been successful at losing weight, and keeping it off.
So be careful of anecdotal evidence. These studies are calling for research to determine the relative merits and dangers of different dietary choices, and that proper scientific inquiry will answer which choices are generally better, not our anecdotal back-and-forth!
As long as it is legal to circumvent copy-protection schemes, there is nothing wrong with record companies using them. Legislation in either direction makes certain useful patterns of bits illegal when there is no direct harm coming to anyone.
If you are against DMCA because you believe in a consumer's legal right to access information how he pleases, you should be against this kind of restriction on the legal rights of producers.

There is:

Also, if you just want OpenID for personal use, you can use delegation to configure any URL you control to use any OpenID server you want.

Not using it yet, but I'll let you know when I try it out.

I hate DRM as much as the next geek, but DRM only needs to imply that there may exist a customer that is a thief, not that every customer is a thief.
Since perfect copies are free, one thief can be just as damaging as 1000.
IMHO, this is why DRM is doomed to failure in the long run, since every DRM scheme is ultimately breakable.

Actually, the waste products are carbon dioxide and water. This assumes ideal combustion, of course...
HnCm + O2 -> H2O + CO2
(fill in the n and m, and balance the equation...)
Non-ideal combustion produces CO and oxides of nitrogen as well.
IANAC (hemist), but I think that organic compounds are generally more likely to cause cancer by interfering with DNA replication (e.g. Benzene).
Does anyone know anything about the status of RecipeSource? I've tried emailg them several times, and there's been no reply...
I hate to see it stagnate.
