It is a collection of small exercises that build your knowledge and confidence with python, and you can ask the author questions on each page as you progress.
a bloke in my street spent 15+ years building a yacht behind his house, and then had to demolish his house in order to move his yacht to the ocean. It was worth it though, absolute winner of a boat.
in my town, the old horse & cart transports have died out too. Is this because of high-speed road access and a youth culture that uses some of the most sophisticated automobiles available?
Or is it just because there is a better way of doing things?
Old industries die and new ones come along. Of course the dying industries aren't happy about it, but the only way is forward...
Sharing the code is all well and good, and it probably does help in many respects, but to compete with the big games these days, you really need to get a lot of talented artists, modelers and the like
Then you need to get a good designer, and a musician or two, mappers, writers etc etc. good games dont start and finish with the code.
Everyone knows what a carwash is, not too many people know what a "Linux" is, or what a fat penguin has got to do with anything. This way they get to turn a profit, as well as opening up non-geeks to Linux-Based Operating Systems.
So, what's holding us off from just blackholing the entire country until they get their political act together?
i think thats a horrible idea, it could possibly silence the best form of free speech the people there have.
besides, if some other country was to blacklist US based servers, purely because of the US's politics, im sure everyone would be crying foul. You shouldn't let politics dictate what happens with the internet.
when i go through the big phat yellow pages directory, looking for the "Blud E. Good Plumbing" phone number, i am subjected to other adverts of rival plumbing services. The Yellow pages are profiting from this, so why shouldn't google?
"What makes you think that sticking with Mono will work when MS might well modify the.NET framework by the time Longhorn comes out so as to make it unusable by anything but Windows?"
to me, thats been the whole point of mono. It makes what ever MS wants to do irrelevant. Yes MS will change.net around, and eventually stop supporting the current version, but if mono gets stable enough, people wont need.net, and will actually have a choice in what they want to do (either stay as they are, or upgrade to longhorn).
mono gives people choice. that is how it's going to succeed.
Good to see news about other f/oss organisations. Unfortunately, the fsf and osi seem to get the most of the news coverage, leaving out the smaller organisations such as the osia.
I'm australian and i didn't even that the osia existed.
we did that to a lecturer at my campus. It took him about 10 minutes to figure it out. This was after he tried burning one of those transparent CD-R covers you get.
This is the same guy who's teaching me about network security. And they say the Australian education system is fine...
I'm only 18, and while most of my other friends have no problems splashing out $AU3000 for a gaming system, only to upgrade a year later, i simply don't see the point(or could afford it).
Up until a week ago i hadn't played any games for about 2 months, and i didn't really miss em. It's not because im sick of playing games or growing up, it's just that there's other things to do. I enjoy going to the pub with mates just as much as i enjoy having a good lan as much as i enjoy a bit of coding, but it's usually just easier to walk to the pub than to pack up my computer.
If there's anything to be learnt from this, it's Beer time > Computer time.
there's no way i'd like to earn my money playing games. I play em for fun, not to pay the bills. Imagine getting evicted just because you missed that headshot in the tournament playoffs. That sort of pressure would stop me enjoying the games, which sort of defeats the purpose of playing them in the first place.

And there are a lot around. Any reasonable quality management system is going to have a document control system.

flumotion is built on top of python & gstreamer, seems fairly cool.

as always, filerush has got the goods: clickies
i think he looks more like uncle fester: the resemblance is uncanny
here tis
All in all I'm less than impressed in this evolution of C-like languages. I prefer the path Python (more correctly Parrot) has taken rather than C
There is actually a language being developed thats attempting to fuse ideas from c-omega & python together, called Spry
No idea if it'll ever be finished, but could be interesting if it works.
...where's the cowboyneal option?
cpanel, ensim, h-sphere, virtualmin (free plugin for webmin) and there is probably more as well. Google should turn up a few.
id really like to see google put out a whereis.com-like service, except on a global scale. It'd really help out tourists and your average lost person.
Of course, that's prolly what GPS is for.

they even managed to spam the anti-spammer.
Probably not the smartest thing to do.
no no my son, the question is What is the taste of one Hand Clapping?

can you honestly think of a better way to stop people from using windows, than by killing the windows partition?

Thanks a lot America. Thanks for the DMCA, thanks for Reality Television, and thanks for helping the parent spell so badly.
For reality television & spelling, you can thank our own TV executives for that one. They choose the TV schedules, not the American government.
