Probably should've used xrange as well. In the 2.x series, Python's range function returns an actual list. I believe in 3.x range has been replaced with xrange.

Nah. Not if you use an appropriate form to extract the desired member while leaving the rest alone. data Person = Person { name :: String , age :: Integer , height :: Integer

Your manner of dismissing LISPs without TCO allows you is something of a No True Scotsman argument, enabling you to proclaim counter examples toys by merit of their being counter examples. Yes, most lisps have it. I don't think anyone

Bad things happen to other people, and sometimes it's easier to get their job done if they skirt the rules a bit. The target-du-jour would be fine if they hadn't been doing activity-du-jour anyways, so it's not like the perso

The person metaphor works if you consider the purpose instead of the individual. There has been a mayor of New York since the mid 1600s, though the individual fulfilling that role has changed regularly. Similarly, there has been a bridge on

That isn't a bug. Even the article you link notes that it is a feature, though they seem for some reason incredulous. I've always liked that they do this on my accounts.

Null and void seems extreme to me. These sorts of agreements do serve a perfectly good purpose. While I would not agree that users should be held liable by terms as either criminal or civil infractions of any sort, they certainly work well

What's laughable is that if he had such a device, it's almost certain he would have a 3rd party capable of deploying in the event of, say, a highly publicized police raid of his home to arrest him. Of course, the counter to that w

Why not just run a recursive grep? That would save having to invoke grep on every single file found. findit() { grep -iHR $1 . } Alternately, you could use the '+' variant of -exec in order to batch files toge

No problem with people protesting so long as they do so where you never have to bother with them, eh? You seem to labor under the false belief that simply because something is voted upon, it is infallibly a correct decision. Not every law,

Wouldn't these guys be acting as an escrow service anyways? If they bother with the minimal process of photoing and tracking packages, it seems it would be much harder to claim fraud against them.

Fancier string manipulation is still just string manipulation. The more correct way to handle it would be to use something like an xml-builder to construct your html, which could then automatically escape all of the given text-node data app

It is intended. I, too, dislike the manner of creating links as keys into a hash of memory resident continuations for exactly this reason. It's just not a good way to structure things. It can be made to work, obviously, but it's far from an

Yeah, I managed to kill X by installing 310 after having installed 304. It was managing to put 304 in the kernel while using 310's interface to it. Removing the packages for both and then installing just 310 fixed it.
