@Glendale, CA.
But it must be before Jun 18 that I go back to Argentina. I am a the "website factory" and it is very cool, but there are also a lot of different sections in the same block and the block in front of that. Email me at sbassi gmail if you like the idea.

Comment I saw both Tron (Score 1) 412

When I watched Tron Legacy I had the same feeling I had when I watched the original Tron when I was 8: The feeling of being lost.
Most close experience of that was when I watch Matrix for the first time.
The sound was EPIC!!!!

Submission + - First community made Python Magazine released (python.org.ar)

An anonymous reader writes: Today the first edition of PET: English Translation (Python Entre Todos, Python Among All) magazine, was released, which is a community effort from PyAr, the Argentinian Python User Group (Google translation) to bring to life the first Community Owned Python Magazine. This follows the initial release last month in Spanish of the technical magazine, when the members realized that there was a void not only in Spanish, but also in English, left primarely by Python Magazine, which seems to be pinning for the fjords. The PyAr mailing list was filled with joy for the release. According to Google Translation one of the posts stated: "Our nipples explode with delight".

Submission + - To root or not to root?

anon writes: I'm a working at a big software outsourcing company as a Sr. Software Dev. I am new in this place and I found that most programmers, even me, don't have admin/root access to their own machine. To be honest, I could work without being root, but I feel somehow that I should make some fuzz about this and request full access. Why? The same reason that a convict in prison that must fight the toughest guy the first day even knowing that he will loose just to gain enough respect to have a better stay. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Finland To Legalize Use of Unsecured Wi-Fi 151

Apotekaren writes "The Finnish Ministry of Justice has started preparing changes to a current law that criminalizes using unsecured wireless hot spots (Google translation; Finnish original). The reasoning includes the impossibility of tracking unlawful use, the ease of securing networks, and the lack of real damage done by this activity. It is also hard for a user to know if an unsecured network is intended for public use or not. The increased ubiquity of legal, open networks in parks, airports, and other public places has also influenced this move by the Ministry of Justice."

Submission + - How to learn data structures? 2

stm2 writes: I have more than 15 years of programming experience with high level languages (mostly VB, PHP, Python) and most things I learned were "on the field" working solving client needs (my major is not in CS) and by self-learning. So I not a newbie but my formal education on this area is not strong (to say the least). I want to learn more on data structures (such as binary trees, composites), from a formal point of view. What book or website do you recommend for this task?
