Hmmm... I wonder if either of those books comments on thoughts of sex while sleepy. For some reason whenever I drive and start thinking about old girlfreinds, I start to nod off (no, I am not making this up..).
Now I don't think this is some curse my present GF put on me - It happens when sex of _any_ stripe enters my mind while driving.
I generally have to crank NPR. Noah Adams wipes away all thoughts of love.
A lot of that may depend on the game. I know Frogger makes me feel dumber than a sack full of hammers, while dopewars and nethack tend to give me concentration headaches.
Dopewars especially makes for a fine memory/gambling/perceived violence buzz.
Great. This teutonic ambulance-chaser has zeroed in on someone without defenses while appearing to represent the interests of a company not particularly inclined to take notice of the "offending" free program.
The OS programmer gets stressed and Adobe gets a ration of dung in the form of "900lb Gorilla" bad publicity.
We can look forward to more fun of this sort as WTO regs begin to be enforced and shady lawyers begin to exploit loopholes.
It _would_ be interesting to see a cost/benefit analysis for creating and maintaining a "Billionaires Suite" on the space station.
"That'll be 6 million dollars. Here is your shuttle ticket, here are your anti-nausea drugs. Please stay out of the astro/cosmonauts' way. Thank you!"
Take a fat chunk of the rich person's money, lock them in a radioactive can for a week, then bring them back. Sell them souvenir decomissioned space suits and send them home with bragging rights and a feeling of pioneer sprit that they will shout to the skies among their bemonied brethren.
I work for a very, very, very huge company that still uses quite a few MS products.
Several other like-minded folks across many of the daughter business have recently begun trying to formulate a plan of attack viz. Linux acceptance.
I assume when IBM pitches Linux to corporations you have some sort of metric that gauges linux against other os's and shows various strengths and weaknesses.
Are these metrics/comparisons available to the general public? Preferebly in management friendly.ppt format?:-)
If you live in vi and it's vi-bound ilk, then the HH is king. It takes about a week to get really used to using the function key+number for the F keys, but that is about it.
I agree 100%. The language is simple, clean and (for this former english major) a ball to learn and use.
I am no one's idea of a programmer. I have made lackluster attempts at Java (too cryptic) and C (C). For some strange reason Perl failed to hold my interest, although I could see that it was very powerful. No dis, it just didn't click.
Within the first three months of my Pythonic endeavours I can access databases, create dynamic web content and even wrote a horrifically stupid screensaver for one of the departments here at work that runs on all of the platforms used (NT/95 and Sun). The only thing I have hit a wall with is reading streaming data from serial ports... and the author of the module just sent me instructions on how to fix it.
Maybe that is the finest feature of Python: it is nearly as chummy as Linux was circa 1994-5. (My first slackware install was from a pile of 25 floppies... yow. People actually called me from their dorm rooms to help!)
Python is simple enough for kids to learn and stable enough for Red Hat and Yahoo to use it in equally important, yet widely divergent applications (web content and system administration respectively...).
A plus: I have went back to my copy of Practical C and have found that it suddenly make sense in areas that left me flummoxed before.
Programming is hard: no way around it. But as a process it need never be impossible to break down into understandable components. I think Python does an admirable job.
We all play in Theo's yard cause he has the best fence and the coolest toys and we all get to take the fence and the toys home. Plus we like throwing penguin stuffies to Farmer.
Cool! Maybe with enough weight and a low enough center of gravity they could climb stairs!
Some sort of ratcheting mechanism on the axles would be needed to change the angle for climbing...hmmmm...
Of course, know thyself: would you get carried away and order one with a Yamaha YZ 125 motorcycle engine?

I have had the same experience. Since coming to my new job here in the bible belt (Kentucky) I have had people pray over and around me on the job at least 3 time s a month.
In certain parts of the country yes, the lawyers may come out... but not everywhere.
This is the whole reason...

Just how many hours a day do you practice to develop the *&%$ed-up phrasing on the git-ar? Even on the older "simpler" songs like "don't let's start" I find your changes in tone and mood impossible to imitate. So what is the story? Mate with a sampler? Mount a theremin in your heiney? Spend 6 years as a Holiness Church youth camp counsellor while injecting yourself with adenoid squeezins?

Hear hear!
Word. This sounds more like John Doe Escrow. (Habius Corpus Escrow?)
Future, my swivel-chair spread! You left out GE. (Conglomco.)
Heh. My visor is a great little organizer. The springboard is a dandy idea. Too bad Handspring's customer support is woven from sticks and dung.
I have fruitlessly searched for said interpreter. URL?
Wow, I wasted most of my life playing Zork, Nethack, et. al.
The best way to burn your brain, and it runs great on a C64...
But all that rebooting gives me time to leaf through my certifications.

Probably drops in the bucket.

Word. The interpreter is what made Python click with me.
I remember writing this my second week (I keep *everything*..):
import string
import random
import time
crapulous=open('/home/drsmeegee/crapulous.txt', 'w')
goat=random.choice(['peon', 'leon', 'cajon'])
cow=random.choice([' ate ', ' vomited ', ' stepped on '])
chicken=random.choice(['bat meat', 'cat food', 'android burgers'])
spork=[goat, cow, chicken]
crapulous.writelines(spork)
crapulous.close()
Yes, it's madlibs.
Re: Happy Hacking Keyboard
If you live in vi and it's vi-bound ilk, then the HH is king. It takes about a week to get really used to using the function key+number for the F keys, but that is about it.
And as a plus, my forearms no longer hurt!
Apropos Python:

Less than the Spanish or the Belgians or the Dutch!
My favorite head scratcher from this article:
. Compare this situation with Windows and Linux: Windows is dial-up, and Linux is broadband--a niche market.
Apropos to what? I use linux with a 33.6 modem every day. Weird, man.
I am pretty sure that MS bought Spyglass Mosiac and modified it into IE.

Sure did. Try an aterm, they have a NeXT-style scroll bar.
