   Regardless of whether there's an ulterior motive for him writing the piece, I think it's still a good reminder for everyone. Take the who and the why out of the equation here and you're left with a pretty sobering point - there are bigger p

   What's really striking about this article is that, for all the missteps he acknowledges he made, he doesn't address the biggest fundamental issue - the bill was garbage. It's also telling that he wants meetings with the tech industry now in

   Matt Cutts mentioned it in a blog post earlier - must have piqued the interest of people who had never heard of it.

    I seem to recall Facebook announcing at the beginning of the summer that they were discontinuing support for the Python SDK. I'll try to track down the relevant article. EDIT - Relevant HN link: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2737965

    Here's a Python script I threw together to automate this: https://gist.github.com/1515666 At this point, it looks like 1, 4, 5, 7, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19 have been put up on S3.

    This is awesome - might roll a Python port if I have some time in the next few days.

    Interesting, but, to be fair, I don't find urlparse or urllib to be all that frustrating or tedious to use.

    Not that I disagree with the message, but I think a bit of perspective is important. The two games being flaunted as single-player failures here are MW3 and BF3. DICE, BF3's developer, has never been a solid single-player production house (
