Heh. That's up there with the university once known as the Cassurina University of Northern Territory. They changed their name pretty quickly.

Dell have good support. They have some deal with canonical, so it seems most of their laptops work great. Also, ASUS ones run quite well. ASUS even ship linux on their netbooks. My girl friends netbook runs for ages on it. So much that

Ubuntu is really moving ahead now. It is a far superiour system compared to osx. osx has packaged up 2 year old stuff, and ubuntu is within 0 months to 6 month old wares. Apple missed out on netbooks -- where ubuntu is ahead again. Looks

hg is easier to type than git. That's 33% better at least(with integer percentages, it's event better with float percentages... and even better with fractions). Imagine typing git 20 times? Well can you see it now? Good. NOW, imagin

Not so seemless. Things need to be serialised to transfer them. You need to specially craft code so that it is pickle safe... things don't just work automatically. Also serialising 100MB or so worth of objects around is really slow. So

This is great because it allows you to create algorithms at runtime for your data. So rather than doing... def doit(option1, data): for x in data: if option1: x += 7 You can create a function that doesn't include the

python 2.5 works fine with win95 and win98. We're talking at least 1%-3% 1 of machines on the internet here. That's a sizable chunk of people. based on wc3 stats... which aren't all that representative.

It also doesn't work on FreeBSD/OpenBSD. Though they plan to fix that at least.

If you make applications for windows, then you would understand that people either can't upgrade or won't. Their old machines don't work with newer versions of the OS's. For web developers this is fine, since they don't need to install pro

It drops support for 'older' versions of windows... Including older versions of win2k, winme, win98 etc. They're not only not supporting it, but they've removed code for older versions of windows. So if you want to distribute portable apps
