well there's syntax and there's programming guess what python people prefer to argue/think/bikker about? So you can say that python was a way to get all those OCD people away from the discussion boards. It worked perfectly =) Doesn't mean python is perfect, its still far from pseudo code. Oh and once you understand WHAT you are programming, programming the same thing in c/c++/perl/cobol/whatever becomes a much more trivial task

aww are you afraid your entire job can be replaced by a 20 line python script? =)

there's probably a script somewhere that can first post faster than you ;P

"Heat?" "Heat is produced as a waste product of civilization." "I fail to understand," said Speaker-To-Animals. Louis, who as a flatlander understood perfectly, forebore to comment. (Earth was far more crowded than Kzin.) "An example. You would wish a light source at night, would you not, Speaker? Without a light source you must sleep, whether or not you have better things to do." "This is elementary." "Assume that your light source is perfect, that is, it gives off radiation only in the spectra visible to kzinti. Nonetheless, all light which does not escape through the window will be absorbed by walls and furniture. It will become randomized heat. "Another example. Earth produces too little natural fresh water for its eighteen billions. Salt water must be distilled through fusion. This produces heat. But our world, so much more crowded, would die in a day without the distilling plants. "A third example. Transportation involving changes in velocity always produces heat. Spacecraft filled with grain from the agricultural worlds produce heat on reentry and distribute it through our atmosphere. They produce more heat on takeoff." "But cooling systems --" "Most kinds of cooling systems only pump heat around, and produce more heat for power." "U-u-urr. I begin to understand. The more puppeteers, the more heat is produced." "Do you understand, then, that the heat of our civilization was making our world uninhabitable?" -- From Larry Niven, ringworld, 1970

well, it's about ulterior motives. A lot of people suspect that the 'government' wants all available information about you, regardless of privacy laws. This is just one of many steps to accomplish that. Oh and by ANY definition, you've been living in a police state for a long long time (since the 'war on drugs' started, atleast)

now, if you viewed ALL governments like that maybe the world wouldb't be such a stinking pile of recession right now...

hmm seems like they only want the power, not the responsibility...

well, i don't think you've considered that free markets might actually work ALOT better if infrastructure was non-profit ;P

uh i think you need to know more about how buffer exploits work before trying to debate using it as an example... point beeing, it's usually the hacker NOT the customer who fills in the extra long name to make the buffer overflow... Anyways the tfa is kinda realistic, ok not for most software. But i would actually prefer if they did run such software on nuclear power plants and other critical infrastructure
