   If it makes a difference, Python's urllib handles 301, 303, and 307 with the 302 handler. It also speaks 1.0 http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/0752215f9f91/Lib/urllib.py...

   Sometimes when compiling and trying to use system calls gcc will complain about the functions not existing. This is usually because of some preprocessor guard not being defined. An easy way to see what macros have been defined is to run g

   This demo (like all demos) is only showing the best case performance. There are plans to add JIT to C Python ( http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3146/ ), but the numbers listed there don't look very impressive. Mathematically intense co

    Unfortunately it is still pretty hard to get any of your Google Talk chat logs out. Most of the solutions are from years ago and no longer work. I ended up being able to download an sqlite database of my chat logs using Google Gears.

    If I wanted Chrome features, I'd download Chrome. The reason I use FF is /because/ I don't want to use Chrome. If FF just copies from other browsers, why have FF at all?

    Obvious, but passing arguments to this will cause it to break. One other mod: (j/1000) could be replaced with (j>999) which is still non conditional, but faster.

    I would have to disagree with this mans views that jurors should ignore the law if they disagree with it. I appeal to the Categorical Imperative on this one which states that you should only act by moral rules that you can at the same time

    I take almost the polar opposite approach to you, always providing a safe fallback to plain ol' HTML. I feel its a defensive style and doesn't provide a single point of failure. I run Noscript since it makes most pages load much faster.

    I still find the price per text message (my cell carrier still charges 5 cents per) enormous. To send 160GB via 160 char text messages would cost 50 million dollars.

    A few thoughts that occurred to me: What is PISA? Why do they only target 15-16 year-olds? Are they a representative sample? Can the entire test be lumped into 3 categories: Math, Science, and Reading? All of these subjects are interrel
