too bad that your code will break with the next python version.
No need for a next python version. Just let the code grow and in any mo Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
You make a very interesting point. I never wanted to buy a graphics card - mainly for the price, but also for its vampiric power suction.
From an electricity bill point of view, it's bad when you buy a graphics card. Yes, I want the graphics to render faster, but couldn't they be only 4 or 5X faster than CPU-only and keep the same energy usage, instead of being 30X faster by sucking 10 times the energy usage of CPU-only?
I had been always confused by software advertising (especially Microsoft's). When they say it (i.e. a new version of Windows) would run faster than previous versions, I thought: "Hey! This will work great on my old computer!" - until I saw that the product requirements included the next generation of CPUs. WTF?
Granted, it may be for some of the new CPU instructions that eliminated latency, but still, I felt kinda deceived.
Wrong. In this case the kid wasn't stupid. How was he supposed to know that the propeller would explode? He was A KID. In any case, it's the parents and not the kid who should get a Darwin Award (he's their descendance after all) for not being careful as to warn him.
But I'm more inclined to think that there was a methane leak coming from the toilet... "I sprayed the toilet because it smelled". You don't get a huge explosion just because you sprayed some air freshener. There had to be a huge methane buildup in that toilet - which is confirmed by the picture showing the broken toilet. In other words, it was a plumbery issue.
Neither do I. My point is that it seems that to be #1, you need to cheat. But also, you need not to be as stupid as the guys who cheated on reporting their companies' stock values these years.
I'm sure Bill Gates read that book and applied it accordingly, screwing the lives of everyone just for his personal gain.
I think the story is a little more complex than that. The man is now supporting the largest philanthropic organization in the world with assets totaling ~40 Billion.
The other day I looked at a book entitled "What would Machiavelli do?". In the back it said something about people not achieving success despites their talent. The book then asked a question: Why is it that some people who are not as talented, obtain success? Are they smarter? Stronger? No. They're simply more evil.

I played the C64 version, and it's very superior to the Atari version.
First of all, the game starts with a text intro telling you to open a Ghostbusters Franchise in your city. MacDonalds, eat your heart out.
Second, they give you a bank account number to add to the replay value. You can purchase a better car because you'll be given more credit.
Third, there's no stairs stage where you have to fight boring ghosts, and not even a Gozer battle stage.. You pass the Stay Puft, you win. And the graphics are very well done (for the time, of course).
Call me paranoid, but I have the slight suspicion that the guys who invented this product are the same ones that sell clam packaging machines.
Let's hope not, but at least we can be sure that clam package openers are an artificial need in the same way antiviruses are an artificial need for Windows systems.
As opposed to cherry-picked global-warming-is-a-hoax "facts"?
Yes. AND as opposed to *not* cherry picking facts, but presenting them in as unbiased a manner as possible. Which was the point I made, glad to see you did not argue with it.
Kudos for finding the hidden solution:) I've added you as a friend.

Soon we will have the "quatro helix DNA" and then 5 helixes and so on.
That's nothing- I heard AMD are doing their own research with 8 helixes!

"sweaterdresses are great" can be typed entirely with the left hand.
"stewardesses have the greatest assets"
I win! :D
Honestly, why would anyone want to roll-out something like this on Windows. A lot of extra expense for little practical value.
Vista Benchmarking?
"World record! "True Cluster" supercomputer runs Vista at 87% its intended speed!"
Interesting premise, after you realize that without first posts, there wouldn't be ANY posts at all.
Maybe, but let's be clear what Microsoft are doing. They are NOT bricking your console when they detect a problem.
Nope. They designed the console to brick itself! :D

Now THAT's some datacenter the Pirate Bay would use... yaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!!
However, my Linksys NATing router is not.
Exactly. I feel like left out - what use is having an IPv6 capable machine, if my ISP blocks all my IPv6 traffic simply because they don't support it?
That's a brilliant idea, I vote Spy der Mann president of slashdot. I hope his 4 year run will do good things for us all.
Oh, no, thank you. I know what will happen already.
It's either insightful or flamebait (or maybe both), but why is it modded funny?
Intelligent design!!!
This proves it! Mice have been behind everything all along!
Narf!
They update it at ridiculous intervals
Nope, Ridiculous speed is too slow for them. They update at LUDICROUS SPEED!!

I object! "Streetfighter" was a fun movie, and "Mortal Kombat" was fairly good as well.

That said, I'm still waiting with anxiety for the ghostbusters videogame.
Everything should be tactile push buttons, dials and levers.
I do believe toggle switches and rope/pulley systems have served us well for this long and can continue to serve us well into the future!
Amateur. In ancient Thundera, we used Fire and Ice!
