It probably does, it's just an unintuitive interface. Read the explanation on the page by clicking the question mark (or read my explanation here on HN in response to the now deleted comment).

I know, I had trouble with that as well, but then I read the explanations you get if you click the question mark in the upper right corner. I will try my own explanation here. Type your answer in the box, if you type 2 or more characters, t

If you view the page with Firefox version <= 22, that paragraph is blinking, very easy to notice :-) (annoyingly easy!)

That was supposed to be switched on by default in Firefox 22, but Mozilla noticed some issue with it. The feature is there in FF22, but you have to switch it on yourself. If you you want to know more about the issues, you can read what Bren

I know that the release notes still says Firefox Beta when I submit this, but my browser just updated itself to version 23. The beta release notes usually are pretty accurate when it comes which features will be in the next stable version.

Well, what kind of book has a collection of recipes? A cookbook, right? :-) I haven't used any edition of the Python cookbook, but I've used the Perl cookbook and it's just like you described. I have also heard and read that the O'Reilly co

I don't think it's regional. I'm in Sweden and if I visit the Flash install page with IE I get Chrome as pre-selected and if I visit with Firefox I get the McAfee add-on. (And when I'm using Linux, as usual, there are no extra applications

I don't think you should have to do neither convincing the IT department nor refunding them. One part of their organization chose to order the Java applet solution from you and another part of their organization chose to uninstall Java. The

I noticed I got the Swedish URL. I tried to find an international or English URL, but I couldn't find it, I hope you get English text anyway. When I just visit that page it suggests that I download version 10.3.183.10, but if I choose to do

They (as in Intel) don't say that, it was a rumour from "industry sources". Intel say that ``it remains committed to MeeGo''.

Ok, the PyPy FAQ says: "Yes, PyPy has a GIL. Removing the GIL is very hard. The first problem is that our garbage collectors are not re-entrant." Is it really necessary for the GC to be re-entrant to run the interpreter in parallel? Couldn'

Yes, you are right that the OS can schedule two Python threads to run at the same time, it's just that one of them will only run a few instructions and then block, just not any Python instructions. I hadn't really thought that through thoro

He's not saying that. He's saying that the GIL isn't a limitation to certain kinds of application, the kinds that Python usually is used for. The kinds of applications where the GIL would be a limitation, Python also has another limitation:
