I actually agree with you. I thought my post would be downvoted anyway, so I didn't care about being a bit hyperbole. I really didn't want such a huge discussion here, I'd rather have people talk about Vile Rat, the State Dept Rep who got k

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." --Steven Weinberg, quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999

What are you trying to say? I use AMD on a desktop and a laptop and dual monitor works perfectly in Ubuntu 12.04 with both in various setups.

Actually the move has and always had a 5 year time frame. We are well within it. As a side note, I just yesterday tried out the Django 1.5 development trunk in a python3 virtualenv and it all worked. :)

These copyright blockage debacles are slowly turning from inconvenient to dangerous. As a musician, content producer and programmer copyright just makes me sick.

These are no "hackers" if they do this for a violent and evil dictator. They are the equivalent of the propaganda sheep in the third reich and nothing more. They are on the wrong side of history, that's clear, bargains in an evil, inhuman g

What? Unity is the first shell that actually properly supports multi-monitor setups. I use it with two monitors actually and it's been just amazing to work with.

FUD, Unity is great and you know it. People bashing Unity have not really tried it yet.

Linux on the desktop isn't doomed at all. People saying the opposite are either naive or have interests to lie about it. I am absolutely sure that Microsoft and Apple are fighting against desktop Linux any way they can as it takes away mark

In my opinion not many Python programmers care for places like stackoverflow, as the language itself has excelent infrastructure to deal with problems and to get ones questions answered quickly without bothering other people. Maybe that's w

Well, we'll see if this is legal in Europe. Website cookies are regulated already here, I guess this sort of abuse will have to be stopped as well. Shame on Microsoft for another outrageous decision.

Proper Unicode support for one. Also, Python 3 is the new standard, by upgrading its code base to it, Django can stay relevant and up to date. Libraries and frameworks that don't upgrade soon, will be replaced or just forgotten.

I use a chrome extension called disconnect, that blocks tracking from facebook, google, twitter, etc. When I open hipset it looks like this: http://imgur.com/9hEX5 Nada, nothing. When I allow facebook I can see the site. This and the face

Nope, as a developer I can say that I wouldn't pay Twitter for access. I probably also wouldn't take any paying jobs any more working with the free Twitter API as it stands now - too many restrictions.

That's wrong information: On this page[1] nic.at states (under "Cancel a domain") that cancellations can be made by fax or letter. Also on the "fax confirmation" PDF[2] it says in big letters: "Please send it by fax or scanned by e-mail to:

I am surprised the NZ courts didn't have the evidence to begin with. How could they decide over the validity of the extradition request without it?

Well, the authors of frameworks and libraries still on Python 2 and without having concrete upgrade plans will have to either do something soon or others will take their space. Python 3 is here, now.

Why editorialise the title? It's very misleading this way.

> worst outcome of one is the child gets lonely and scared for a small period of time Actually the outcome could be the exact same thing in both cases.

This is a very interesting phenomenon. 1) A child approached by an adult man = everyone is alerted. 2) A helpless child that should be helped = nobody cares. It seems that in case 1 it's more about getting the bad guy then to help the child

This just got much clearer in Python3, all string literals are now Unicode by default, making it much easier to code internationalized programs in Python. There is an "Explicit Unicode Literal" (u"string"), to make it easier for library aut

But you still can read the content right?

Yes that would be a valid reason to make that request, but the commenter above was misleading people that they had to login, which is wrong.

This is a disgrace for New Zealand and as a European this whole ordeal has warned me plenty to not do any business there ever. The US who were obviously the ones in charge of NZ police and general "law" enforcement are another story. The wo
