Very true. Initially, I did not keep it in Dropbox. But it was starting to annoy me when I forgot to put the updated file on my usb stick.
I also use it for work passwords. And the file for that of course is not in Dropbox or cloud service. I may switch to LastPass some day if I feel up to it (for my personal use).
Also, not a big thing, but it appears that you cannot set the number of rounds of encryption. That is a feature that KeePass has. I currently use 5,000,000 rounds (about 5 seconds on my work computer)
Keep your keepass file in Dropbox. That is what I do. I also keep a copy of it on a usb stick on my keychain. The password for my keepass file is a long random password(created with keepass, not simply banging keys on a keyboard) with uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols. Even though it is a random password, I have completely memorized it, mostly due to using it so much. So I don't have it written down anywhere.
I remember back in school, when I would go to yahoo, ask jeeves, and other places that I can't remember before I searched on google when researching for reports. I don't remember when I started to use just google. But it's been years since I've not been able to find something on google.
I'm happy with google as long as they continue to "do no evil".
I agree.
There are mappers out there so you can write once and have it work fine on most databases. But they are a pain to use. Simply writing sql is much easier I think.
Wrong. That is not the fastest way to improve the speed of a program. In a program at work, I took 60 minutes to improve a SQL query which took way too long(I stopped it after it passed 10 minutes) and the final result only took a second or two. The cost of new hardware would be thousands. I would like to earn thousands per hour, but I don't. But I'm not saying that 'throwing more hardware at it' is always the wrong thing to do, just most of the time.
Now I don't think that C/C++ will ever go away, but here are are a few programs running right now on my laptop that are written in python: -Exaile (A music player) -Portato (For installing programs) And not running at the moment, but I do use: -Editra (An editor)
Now, that is only a few, but they didn't exist or where unusable more than a year ago. I'd expect that in the next few years I would have another few python programs running.
I personally hate Java. I had to do a final project in it for college(3 years ago). It took 20-30 lines of code to clear a combo box. I hated how to do anything more than basic I had to do a bunch of subclassing. Not sure if it is the same or not now.
I still think I could have made a python version of the project by my self than with java with 2 others working on it with me in about the same time or less...
"The only reason science (and evolution) bothers you is that when we get around to measuring things, the hard, cold facts contradict a few chapters of your religious books. And you are willing to lie to try and protect those chapters. You are willing to pass laws that pi is 3.0 instead of 3.1415 because of a biblical verse. You are willing to kill people because of a biblical verse. You are willing to behave extremely immorally in order to protect your religious verses. To me that says more about your faith in your version of god (who should not be threatened by facts)."
I don't think that pi is 3 because that is the approximation that the Bible gave. 3.1415 is also an approximation of pi, just to a different degree. The Bible does not say for us to go killing other people. There are people who call them selfs 'Christians' who will pick verses from the Bible and ignore others. There is a small minority of Christians who believe every verse in the Bible and understand the context that it is in. In the Bible there is a verse that says that there is no God. There are people who will take that verse by it's self and conclude that God doesn't exist.
"Let's keep schools for *facts*. And the theory of evolution is just as much a fact these days as the theory of gravity is." I agree that only facts should be taught in schools. However, the theory of evolution is just that, a theory. It is not proven. It has not ever been proven that one type of creature will evolve into something completely different. Only that there are differences withing one species of animals, like dogs. Check out: http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v20/i2/genetics.asp
I agree that is how to test weather something is scientific or not. However in what way does that disprove Intelligent Design?
If a human foot print is found next to a fossilized dinosaur bone, would that not prove that Evolution is wrong?
The thing is, you either BELIEVE that God created everything or you BELIEVE that evolution is the reason we are here or you BELIEVE something else. There is no way to truly scientifically prove how things began. Both intelligent design and evolution are religions.
Your fission generator just died and your batteries drain quickly. The enemies are closing in. Your laser rifle is useless now. You are ready to die. They caught up to you. Many bullets where fired at you. And then you say, "Hahahah, thanks for recharging my batteries. Now I can use my laser rifle. Die!!":)
I am crazy:) I see what you are saying, let me explain more what I mean. I didn't mean to say that only those in group 2 are True Christians. There are true Christians(going to heaven) and and those how are not(going to hell) in both groups. Christians are called to be in the second group, but that is not a requirement to be a Christian.
Ya. Sadly there are people who call them self a 'Christian' when they really aren't. They give Christians a bad name.
There are basically two different types of Christians.
1. Those who ignore/skip/are ignorant of parts of the Bible.
2. Those who take the Bible as truth for its entirety.
In the first group you have 'Christians' such as the KKK and most people who call them self a 'Christian'. They only differ in the parts that they ignore/skip/are ignorant of.
The second group is what I am working on being in(I'm not perfect). The Bible actually does not say to meet in a building and give them your tithe (among other things).
Another alternate to WxPython is Dabo.
From the site: "Dabo is a 3-tier, cross-platform application development framework, written in Python atop the wxPython GUI toolkit."
I find it much more pythonic and easyer to use than WxPython.
Even though Dabo comes with code pertaining to database interaction, the GUI part is completely separated and you can just use the GUI part.

That's who I am voting for.

I personally think the contest would have been more interesting if they where to start out with a few pounds of raw beef instead of a precooked patty.

It is sad that there are people who call themself a Christian, yet say that the Bible isn't true.

Then learn some standard languages (Perl, Python, C++, Java...) and portable toolkits (Qt, Wx, etc), not Microsoft's proprietary stuff.
I agree.

Isn't that an oxymoron?
Of course its not. To get VB to do what you want you really have to work it:)
