It's called "scraping" and I've done it lots of times with python, very easy. Don't bother with those other specialized, non-python, frameworks that people are suggesting. http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/ And if you need to do

Generating is never the hard part, it's keeping the cache current, pruning it when it gets too big, etc. that's hard. (Ok, I didn't read the article, yet.)

Money doesn't just give you freedom. This whole question could be answered by answering: what are the basic desires of people? I can think of: 1. power 2. love 3. reproduction 4. glory 5. health 6. just wanting to feel good. Not surprisingl
