Tough to find another email eh? Excuses for Google all day. Man up, admit you have no principles.

First, Eich was taken down by crusading morons and now this? I don't agree with Eich's former donation (see how stupid that sounds when actually stated?), and I'm not a fan of Ms. Rice (oh noes, he's not a fan...) but no

They're not going to sort out the mess. GVR is 100% stubborn on having 2 and 3 live alongside each other till everyone moves to 3. He won't be combining them in any way in a Python 4.0 and slowly removing the Python2 stuff. I pers

No new libraries? I wonder if 2014's new Python implementation from Guido's employer Dropbox- Pyston, count as significant in your mind? If you prefer to have no Google App Engine, Azure, Amazon or distro support other than Arch

That's already known. If you knew anything about 'M#' you'd realize these two have to be related somehow. That's the question.

So is this the mysterious 'M#' technology revealed?

Even if that were true, which I would disagree that anyone writing a library from scratch today is ignoring Python3- over time it is an inevitability once the core dev team drops support for 2.7

Legacy doesn't mean unused, the definition of a legacy programming language is when no one is choosing it for new projects. Python2 is going to be moving closer to this COBOL-status as people start coding for Python3 and Py2 support b

We use Lync, and ya, if they made it lighter weight and removed the bugs it would be merely OK.

This is a good thing. Carmack said at a recent Quakecon that he didn't let us have a light on any gun in Doom 3 because he didn't want another light source in his rendering.. this is a guy who has no business making games. And non

When you say "linux" are you referring to the latest Ubuntu release or the /. & HN unpragmatic suggestions to use other distros out of some sort of nerd's protest? I'd be curious if you popped in a Ubuntu live c

Not going to really try to refute your claims, but it sounds like you're making it as difficult as possible. For one I highly doubt you'd have to earn another bachelors degree. There has to be another way..

So basically the takeaway from all of this is that instead of walking on the backs of the downtrodden, all those immigrants, infrastructure people, poultry producers and programmers should be paid a hell of a lot larger portion of the profi

100% share of the next-gen console though, which is what counts for gaming.

They can, but it may require a change to their hardware (we don't know yet). And if they do follow AMD's lead here to catch up on performance gains, AMD is in control of the API so they know exactly what's going to change whe

This is the huge benefit with the console wins to AMD that Carmack spoke about at Quakecon this year. Sounds like thanks to the new consoles, this will put AMD in the driver's seat. Everyone else will be stuck on DX or OGL. If NV/

The way for Valve (if you're reading this) to make SteamOS/Linux the top gaming platform overnight? Make HL3 Linux-only. Don't do a Windows/Mac port for 2 years. Watch all of us gamers scramble to dual boot at minimum, i

> Apple already lost to Android. That's not true. Apple's mobile devices are more profitable than any single line of Android devices. Also, sales of the iPad vs any other line of Android tablets, ie. Samsung's are not even

I'd contend the opposite, being fluent in German, English and having strong knowledge of Latin. German and Latin can create new words or ideas much easier than English can. English creates them 'easier' by wholesale importing
