uh, no. whitespace block indentation means blocks have no delimiters. using "END IF" etc means you're adding a closing delimiter. python says: you don't need it.
really, though, this stuff is minor. any good editor will handle all this for you, whether with braces or without. the other language i like is LISP, which is diametrically opposite python in its use of ()s everywhere.
oh, i'd like to add that the/. crowd predicted that the ipod would tank. based on this one point of design criticism, i don't think i will put too much value in what most people here desire in terms of UI.
you never have a use, and therefore, no one else does? meh. i like the way the zoom button works. i like my clean (mostly) mac os x gui. using kde/gnome/windows bugs the hell out of me with the numerous visual distractions in the UI. (i used to use fvwm2 which i had configured to be nice and quick.) i want my mac to be a mac, not to conform to what the rest of the world expects it to be. i like the way it works.
this argument is a lot like asking the vim devs to change key bindings to be emacs-style. (for all i know, this is possible.)
on the contrary, i know many smokers. ask the ones you know, "do you like smoking?" just because they know they should quit doesn't mean that they don't like to do it. i'll wager most people with substance addictions will claim to enjoy consuming the substance.
pick up a copy of any british hi-fi magazine (what hi-fi, hi-fi choice), look at the reviews, and google. american hi-fi mags (stereophile, the $ensible $ound) also talk about vinyl, but not as much as the brits. music hall makes good-valued turntables. grado still makes cartridges. want to get stupid with money? you can buy separate transport, tonearm, and cartridge.
actually, the "th" in "the" is voiced. unlike the "th" in "thursday". try your own experiment, and do it both ways: voiced and unvoiced. otherwise, good point.
not a major risk factor, sure. but, if you find that your hands hurt when you type, and they don't hurt when you stop, then that's certainly an indicator that typing is, if not the cause, then an aggravating (what's the word i'm thinking of?) factor. i had serious tendonitis, to the point of being in pain all the time. at one point, the tendon was so inflamed that my thumb would get stuck because the inflammation on the tendon would block the tendon's movement inside the sheath of cartilage.

Sure, but one could see that as limiting the population from which you draw new members. Will all of the new class join? What proportion will? And by what mechanism are they introduced to Facebook? Also, alumni can maintain their membership when they graduate. If anything, dropping people once they leave school is not a great thing for the user because the social network that you built up is suddenly gone.
I don't see why this makes Facebook "more valuable" than Myspace. There is already a population of pre-college students on Myspace who will continue being active on Myspace, and who will bring their new college friends to it once they enter college.
so, you agree with the points raised in the article. and then when the author suggests the only other consumer OS available, you say that discounts everything he argued and that you agreed with. so, what was your point?
you want your sisters to run linux? you think windows is bad? you should live with kde for a few days.

why couldn't the buffalo handle qos for voip? (i have a buffalo, and have been having a hell of a time configuring qos with dd-wrt.)
before this, the 'official' bittorrent client was written in python, and distributed as python source.
i've had good experience using ext2 on osx via http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/
i haven't tried the latest version, but on my x.3.9 powerbook, it was able to read and write a usb external hd with no issues.
of course, this doesn't address the issue of windows accessibility.
so, let's see: there is a correlation between human activity and global warming.
two possible causality relations:
1. global warming causes human activity
2. human activity causes global warming
3. it's just coincidence.

well, smokers will all (well, almost all) claim that they enjoy smoking. what does that prove?

the reason CLEO was named thus is because it is penetrated by CESR. so i heard, anyway.
