  1. Re:possible improvements to python? on Guido van Rossum Leaves Zope.com · · Score: 1

    "The C API docs stink."

    These are better in more recent versions (I know, I wrote the new sections :-), and there are more improvements in 2.3.

    "I dislike the break between the "Extending and Embedding" section and the "Python/C API" section."

    Yep. I've been meaning to do something about that for at least a few years now...

  2. Re:Most of us don't have this option... on Making Software Suck Less · · Score: 1

    How nice would it be to type "Copy all jpgs with 'sitename' in the filename to 'sitename' directory" rather than a more arcane command or without having to worry about command typos?

    Heard of DWIM? I don't want my computer to infer what I want from it's half-assed understanding of English...

    Have you tried trashing your profile? That can
    really help, I found.

    Well, OK, but who's going to stagger around wearing a Sun 3/50?

    It would get you noticed, I guess.

    I don't think so; according to my friend who's dad
    is an airline pilot (so, like authoritative) the
    airlines are still worried the US government will
    just get bored and turn GPS off...

  6. Re:Maybe not quite so funny on Spoonful of Quickies · · Score: 1

    This is the whole "I can't tolerate your intolerance" problem isn't it?

    Being basically liberal, I can't condone blanket assaults on the website, even though said site is full of intolerent illiberal (word? don't think so) blanket assaults.

    I think this website would be funny if it wasn't so serious. It's actually a bit scary, and to me, deeply deeply offensive.

    However, it's a free world, he can write his drivel and I wont read it. Unless I want to feel ill.
