explain what the major advantages of using Python are. I have only ever looked at it very briefly and even more briefly at Jython. From this very limited experience I cant really think of a compelling reason to use Python over some of the more mainstream languages, other than perhaps as a scripting type glue.
I know this is a valuable application of technology, something we dont see enough of but my very first thought was where will this monitoring end. In the future will my woman be getting wireless messages that my blood alcohol levels are rising so she can put an end to my fun in the pub. Will she be able to get messages that my testosterone levels are increasing while I'm looking at an attractive woman. God forbid the damn things are interactive so she can administer electric shocks in this scenario.
is it that as soon as someone mentions we might live a couple of years longer immortality gets bandied about. Until we can cure every last disease and ailment on the planet immortality, even if it were possible would be pointless.
to explain why this article is complete nonsense but I'm too depressed, feel the world is against me and I really dont feel like talking to anyone. Plus I just got a new laptop to play with.
Government are the height of beauracracy. How do you get a diverse bunch of divested interests to decide who does what? Who manages the projects? What happens to the developers during slack periods ?
Secondly you may not have noticed but many government services are being moved either partially or completely back into the private sector
The only answer I see is that the universe will eventually implode on itself but I thought with the dicovery of background radiation we had decided this was not going to happen and as improbable as it sounds the universe would expand infinitely.
Well done you have taken the first step and posted your intentions. Just think of all the poor slashdotters out there desperate to post on this thread but cant bring themselves to do it
Introverts often have self-esteem problems because they can't be what most of the world wants them to be.
In my experience low self esteem often occurs because someone cant be what they think the rest of the world wants them to be. Personally I always find this strange because I'm pretty sure the rest of world does not give a shit about me so I dont really care what the world thinks anyway.
The point of this book is to teach introverts why they are the way they are, to show them which aspects of their personality are immutable and which can be changed, and most of all to show that that there is nothing about introversion that requires making excuses.
Is personality, or certain personality traits immutable? I would have thought that with the right stimulation it would be highly mutable. Thats ignoring the fact that we are intelligent enought to recognise our own patterns of behaviour and can suppress our natural instincts if we make that choice.
Dont most originating post offices stamp the letter ? so it should be easy to trace, or am I having flash backs to all those old spy movies where some one looks at the envelope and says 'this letter was sent last tuesday from Zurich'.
Why would it be disturbing that one of the most apparent uses for this technology is advertising ? Its not going to bring peace or solve world hunger. I'm sure the inventors will be looking to make a few dollars for their time and effort. The advertising industry will lap up, and pay top dollar for technology that allows them greater flexibility in advertising. Its probably the market the inventors have intended all along.

How will he know when the Comissioner really calls him and its not just a couple of Finns messing about with their own batsign?
This service will cause so much grief and end end so many marriges when significant others find out we are not late at the office but in the pub, or the locator dot is unexpectedly situated over one of their girlfriends houses.

Finally legalese I can understand

Oh baby soak me in a bowl of salted water so my leaves are soft and wet for you. Come on do it, you know you want to.
I am not really an 18 year old cheerleader desperate for sex, especially with older men and particularly when my girlfriends can join in.
I am in fact a brussel sprout with time traveling capabilities.
You better be careful what you say about the Soprano Crime Organisation
SCO had him whacked

that will have a big impact on the world
They are going to build a Segway console. Its the only possible thing that could have global impact (apart from a large meteor).

Just look at the policy coming from the Pentagon. Only a schoolboy could come up with those justifications and excuses.
