I thought about this too. It would be really nice if there was a central compressor that will pump that cold gas into ACs and refrigerators of multiple homes. I think that will be a lot greener than the other stuff suggested by Scott Adams.

Maybe a morale can be: "Start with small projects before going for big ones"? I mean, there are a lot of important lessons you learn when you have a "project from hell", so my reasoning is that the project better be small, so at least the p

You describe this as a "shortcoming" of yours. I don't think it's a shortcoming, I think you got it exactly right. People who always have to get everything 100% right are the ones who need to change their ways.

I think that you are overrating the thinking process that users have. Most users are not like you. They don't carefully consider the pros and cons of the software they install. Most users are like, "It's shiny, let's install it!" Okay, I'm

Looks very cool. Of course, I am already fantasizing about it being merged to the main branch. Assuming it will work well, is this something that can get into 3.2? I saw this release schedule for 3.2: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-039
