Some communities do better than others at making it a nice environment for all involved. For example, post a question on some mailing lists and you'll get flamed or told RTFM noob stfu. On other projects everyone is nice, happy and it's al

hi, my main point over all is that both parties should be nice, and improve their communication to make the community a nicer place. It's not just the users that are 'dicks', and they should stop being 'dicks'. Other things can be done to

That probably would have been a saner way to go. However, we felt that authors would find html easier to write, and designers would find it easier to design in. Maybe something like restructured text would have been ok to do too. Since it

I've been working on an Ebook for a while now, and it is quite hard. So I'm not surprised that many books have bad typography. Our ebook is for the open source/FOSS project PyGame. http://www.pygamezine.com/ PyGameZine is in Beta, and w

'Who sells in a marketplace where someone else sets your price for you automatically without your approval?' Most people who sell products do. You sell at your wholesale price, and the retailer sets the retail price.

The 'What do you do' question almost always comes up. Or the 'what are you working on?' question. That's when you can say your few words about what you do and what you are working on. If the other person is interested they might ask a qu

The Prime Minister creates law. The press influence the courts through criticism and informing public opinion. The courts have already been subjected to almost a year of media coverage influencing them, and the politicians influencing the

You are wrong. The Swedish Prime minister has made public statements that the man is guilty. So has the Swedish press.

"Clare Montgomery QC, for the Swedish authorities, said evidence from a trial would be heard in private but the arguments would be made in public." That is a secret trial. The Swedish Prime Minister has declared the man guilty, as well maj

The Swedish people want his blood too, as does the Swedish Prime Minister. He is going to go into a secret trial, and possibly just disappear. Also the Australian Prime minister wants him locked up, so I wouldn't be surprised they don't d
