Challenge accepted: http://www.challengelistcreator.com Actually it was started like 3 weeks ago. It's (very) rough around the edges, but usable.

You don't need no formal education, in my humble opinion. Instead, practise, practise, practise. One good starting point: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/

Sure, but have you ever used them in a real world project? And outside of academics?

Who ever use imaginary/complex numbers anyway?

1-2 hours away by bicycle is not "rather close", it's downright far. Why not find a place where you can cycle to work in 10-15 minutes? I did it and it works great. It gives you lots of free time (short commute) and money (no car ownership)

Apple tries hard to not look like any Big Brother-like mega-corporation (remember the ad with the girl breaking the screen?). Their typical customer is a bit of a bohemian bourgeois so they need to adapt their writing to seduce that target.

Being foolish seems to be the purpose of the all thing, isn't it? It's my favourite advice from Steve Jobs BTW: "Stay hungry, stay foolish." Some context: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1fdeu_steve-jobs-stay-hung...

Gandi is quite good (but based in France). I'm using their VPS hosting service since March and it's flawless (12€/month, and you can take advantage of the cheap euro if you're in the US). 3 months is too short to have a solid opinion, but I

Given the US are approximately 10 M square km, the radius you define is .5 mile. Let's say that 1% of the US is populated like the area where looking at. PI * 0.5 * (0.5 (square miles)) = 2.03417191 square km. let say 2. That's the size of

You're right, but I couldn't correct it right away (because of noprocrast and life). Also, formatting was wrong: print '\n'.join([" " abs(int(4.5-i)) + " " (10-abs(9-i 2)) for i in range(10)])
