Guido and Bruce Eckel Discuss Python 3000 305

Posted by CmdrTaco from the guido-or-eckel-which-is-a-funnier-name-discuss dept.
Phoe6 writes "Leading author and programmer, Bruce Eckel, posted some of his concerns on Python 3000 stating that the Python community is failing to address some of the important issues with this major, backward incompatible release. Problems he mentions are concurrency support on multi-core CPUs, easy deployment support, and a standardized user interface, amongst others. He expresses his dissatisfaction at the post titled "Python 3K or Python 2.9?. Guido van Rossum addresses the concerns in a very pragmatic way with his response to Bruce Eckel and calls for more developers to contribute to Python to improve it further. Bruce Eckel concludes with his thoughts that he wants his favorite language to be better with his reply to Guido's reply."

Comment Password manager bug for newsgroups? (Score 1) 344

by gmt-time (#7655664) Attached to: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.4 Released
I have used Thunderbird for mail and newsgroups since 0.1. I loved the mail program however the newsgroups reader was inconvenient. The password manager had an annoying bug where it would ask for the user name/password for every newsgroup when the connection times out even though I checked the save username/password option. And if I left my computer on during the night, the next day I will be greated with thousands of these message boxes, that it was easier to kill the program than click on all of them. I think a lot of people voted for this bug in 0.2, and 0.3 but it was not fixed so I gave up on Thunderbird.

Does anyone know if it has been fixed in 0.4?

Thanks
