Seriously, if that's the extent of your case against Python, well...you make it clear that you've never actually written anything in Python and are therefore unable to have a valuable opinion of it.
If you're using an editor that doesn't understand tabs or one that can't convert tabs to spaces, well, you should seriously consider getting a new editor.
will serve application/xhtml+xml to any client that claims to accept it. Mozilla does, IE doesn't. Safari just sends */* as its accept string, so it gets text/html.
AppleScript the language is one of the most mind-bendingly awful things ever invented. It sucks so bad I'm getting a little pissed typing this.
AppleScript the tool is awesome. Anything I can do with my Mac can be scripted, and generally if I find myself doing something repeatedly, I bang out a script for it. Most of these scripts are just a few lines long, but they save me a ton of work in the end. As an example:
tell application "Camino"
set t to name of front window
set u to URL of front window end tell set the clipboard to "<a href=\"" & u & "\">" & t & "</a>"
In the Desktop & Screensaver prefpane, set one of the hot corners to "Start Screen Saver," then check "Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screensaver." You're likely to get pissed about setting it off accidentally all the time.
I use a simple AppleScript
tell application "ScreenSaverEngine" activate end tell
named "Lock Screen" that I launch with LaunchBar. Cmd-space, lo, done.
I think the idea is that your cursor doesn't change into a dozen different zany pictures and adopt a dozen different functions depending on which part of the window you're pointing at.
Wouldn't it scale terribly? I know on OS X icons are usually rendered at various midpoints between 128 px and 16 px so they can look good at any size. A 256 px wide icon can't look very good at 16 px.
I am pretty sure that the current browser war will evolve, in a decade or less, in a war of Web application development with the browsers' supported proprietary extensions.
If time starts to flow backwards, yes it will.
Remember the browser war? The one Microsoft won decisively?

It's not designed to have the HD running very hard, either. Run an OS off your iPod for ten minutes and that bad boy is smokin' hot.

I'm sure Apple's contract with the record labels covers which platforms they will provide iTunes for.

Firefox has 8% and you call that a clock cleaning?
I don't know how Microsoft can stay in business with Firefox and Apple cleaning their clocks.
No, wait, the other thing. Stupid.
The last thing we need is more government involvment in what people do online.
It's not like that at all.
