Because those parts are usually less than 10% of the total logic?
Also, you have stuff like Cython that lets you develop C extensions very easily.
The special advantage of this seamless Python/C intermix approach is that existing Python code can be tuned to almost the speed of C by just adding a few static type declarations and by making some adaptations in critical loops - without requiring complicated interface code. The coding speed and the readability of the code remains very Pythonic.
You also have projects like PyPy that are working on JIT support for python, which already perform the same or better than CPython on many workloads.
All in all, we live in interesting times, and remember: Don't dismiss things just because you don't like them:)
Greebo [the tomcat] had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
Shawn dived sideways as Greebo went off like a Claymore mine.
Also:
Greebo's technique was unscientific and wouldn't have stood a chance against any decent swordmanship, but on his side was the fact that it is almost impossible to develop decent swordmanship when you seem to have run into a food mixer that is biting your ear off.
A toast notification is a message that pops up on the surface of the window. It only fills the amount of space required for the message and the user's current activity remains visible and interactive. The notification automatically fades in and out, and does not accept interaction events. Because a toast can be created from a background Service, it appears even if the application isn't visible.
A toast is best for short text messages, such as "File saved," when you're fairly certain the user is paying attention to the screen. A toast can not accept user interaction events; if you'd like the user to respond and take action, consider using a Status Bar Notification instead.
Something like that? If you need feedback, then you'll need to do some hacking, but you specifically said you "just want to create a popup window to tell the user something":)
No, I don't develop android apps (hate java), but had a look at the API some time ago, and remembered that one.
Ads mostly exist to put their brand name in front of your eyeballs.
Later on, when you're out buying some stuff, you need some $foo. You see two packages, brand X and brand Y. You have seen X before, but Y is entirely unfamiliar to you. So you buy X. What you don't remember at the moment is that only reason why X is familiar is because you've seen it in ads.
Mmm yeah, we're gonna need to go ahead and move you downstairs into storage B. We have some new people coming in, and we need all the space we can get. So if you could just go ahead and pack up your stuff and move it down there, that would be terrific, OK?
I played UFO: Enemy Unknown quite a bit when I was a young lad. I remembered the game as being pretty hard.
So, I got the chance to play it again. I laughed a bit at remembering it being "hard", and figured it would be piss easy now. If it was hard when I was 12 years old and had no clue what I was doing, it should be easy when I'm 25 and have gamed quite a lost these last 10 years..
Ok, so I load it up, getting filled by nostalgia, shoot down my first UFO, and go out to pick up the remains. Ship land, first turn. This time, the bastards won't know what hit'em:) Send first man out, first step outside the ship, a shot comes from nowhere, dead man. Next man out, same. After third man, the invisible shooter is out of time / ammo (yay), so I run down with man 4.
He sees an alien with the back to me. A-ha! Revenge time! I order my man to open fire, three shot burst. First miss by a country mile, second hit within the same screen at least, third hits the alien. I cheer! Alien, unhurt, turns around and guns my man down with one shot.
I managed to clean it up (was only 2 aliens), but with massive losses. Second mission goes better, but cost of replacing soldiers and equipment have me at almost-broke already. Third mission. First round, my first team member carefully poke his head outside. Right outside stands a little grey dude with a rocket launcher. He fires. All but 2 of my team is dead instantly.
Yes, that game IS hard. For those that say earlier games only seemed harder because we were younger then, go play some of them. Some of those you had to fight nail and teeth for every step! The developers took pride in giving you a challenge (sometimes to the extreme), and winning actually meant something. And that was why they were so damn fun, too.
This works over local network segment.. So, if you sit on the same network as the victim, theres one thing you usually have in common.. No, its not the haircut. You use the same gateway and public ip as the victim.
In addition to the things other posters have pointed out, how will this actually change anything?
Scenario A: You send clear pw to server, server verifies it, sets cookie. Dr. Evil steal password, sends the password to server, and verifies as them (or just gobble cookie, but lets do it the hard way)
Scenario B: You send MD5 pw to to server, server verifies it, sets cookie. Dr. Evil steal the MD5'ed password, sends the MD5 to server, and verifies as them.
You haven't really changed anything. It's still the same replay attack. The password itself is obscured, that's true. But now you don't need the password anymore, so no problem.
You'd need a challenge / response system, where the response is calculated (with challenge + pw) via JS in the browser, and then the response is verified by server. More complicated, but doable. Still MITM vulnerable. Cookie is still insecure.
At the end of the day, instead of chasing your own tail, you either give up or go SSL. Or you cook up some shit that at least look pretty complex. Which leads me further to:

This might get me labelled as some linux fanatic, but oh well..
First of all, I use windows 7 at home, and ubuntu linux at work (started linux with slackware in '95). I also used OSX for half a year before I had to admit it was not for me. I do support for friends and relatives, and have also worked as tech support for an ISP for a year and a half. So I've got some experience with both the software and users.
First of all, the confusing distros issue. Most linux people will tell you that if you dont know what desktop distro you want, take Ubuntu. So that's really a non-issue. (Did you know the just Windows 7 have six different editions? Plus 32/64bit, plus N versions)
Poor documentation - My experience is that the lowlevel documentation of linux is miles ahead of windows, and on the high level documentation.. 99% of users needing help completely ignores it (and any helpful message that shows on the screen). Yes, it matters, but much less than you think.
Software - Valid point, there are alternatives for many programs, but the alternatives often lack polish / functions. Wine is not a solution, its a bandaid that helps *sometimes* (and the result is often unstable). Of course, there are things that go the other way too. Linux have a good terminal, very good appdesktop integration (which is why I use ubuntu at work, gedit (with gnome ssh folder layer)/vim + terminal really makes a difference), and much better installation / uninstall / update routines.
Support - Again, Ubuntu goes a long way on this one. The forums are pretty friendly, they have decent documentation on their site, and Canonial offers paid support (and links to other companies supporting Ubuntu).
"Ways of doing things that are confusing to a Windows user" - well, the natural state of a non-technical pc user is confusion:) There are some changes, but software install isn't really the one you should shout largest about. First of all, you have the ubuntu software center, which gives a user friendly, categorized, searchable overview of (a lot of) selected software. Often with screenshots and link to the website of the project. Secondly, people can still download a file from the web, click it, and a program installs. Instead of downloading an exe or msi file, they download a.deb file, and a GUI window pops up with a description of the program and asks if you want to install it.
Command line - Now, I've heard this so many times... But its been years since last time I HAD to go to console for some desktop thing. I usually use console myself, but that's because it's faster, not because there's no alternatives. So, got any actual examples? I honestly can't think of any.
Oh, and you forgot drivers, which still can be a real problem. Especially on new laptop models.
1. OpenID - it provides one central login, and I've seen providers that support SMS'ing your phone when a new browser logs in, and SSL certificates. You can also set up your own OpenID server if you don't trust a 3rd party. (yes, that also means that openid is not an antispam solution)
2. Something like Hashapass - It takes a master pw + id and generates a hash. It runs entirely in javascript, you have a bookmarklet for it, and you can save a copy of the page on any device with a webbrowser (like, your phone for example). If you're on a different machine, you can just visit the page and generate your pass (or use some trusted device).
So yeah, there are solutions to the problem, but one is not widely supported, and another require a trusted device.
Charge the FBI for storage and transport of their property. Some per-hour charge AND per-mile charge. I'm sure they have detailed logs of how long and far you've stored/transported it.
And if they complain, just tell them they should have worked out the contract with you BEFORE they planted it.

Not necessarily, the OpenID provider could for example support one time passwords. And actually destroy the session when you log out.
Two solutions:
1. OpenID - it provides one central login, and I've seen providers that support SMS'ing your phone when a new browser logs in, and SSL certificates. You can also set up your own OpenID server if you don't trust a 3rd party. (yes, that also means that openid is not an antispam solution)
