Yup. Thats well worth pointing out. Pin is awesome for Australian facing businesses, but if you want to trade in USD, better off elsewhere.

Totally. I don't know how it is in the US, but in AU braintree doesn't even compete with eway + your choice of bank. IMHO Pin lowers the barrier to entry for accepting CC, which is most welcome, and long overdue in this country.

Will do, thanks. Never understood why Grappelli removes the button click from admin actions!

Probably worth noting that stephen_mcd is the author of Mezzanine. I really like some aspects of Mezzanine, and I've used it on a couple of projects with success. But I don't like Grappelli much, I prefer django-admintools so for this reaso

The site has gone down, so thanks for the pastebins. Idea for a site: A pastebin that uses nice typography, instead of monospace... Perfect for this sort of thing. Is there a good one already os shall I make one?

What about artificial lighting? I think it's equally valid to be purist as it is to accept post-processing as a part of the modern photographers toolbox. As long as post-processed photos are presented as such, I think that's fine. Similarly

Kepler has been revolutionary in discovering these 700 odd planetary systems, but we can't even begin to imagine what surprises await for when we point the James Webb Space Telescope at them. One of JWSTs mission objectives is to study the

Yeah, they could have gone down the /var/srv direction, which would have been OK. But I think /srv actually makes more sense as /var is often on separate disks because /var/lib/ gets very IO heavy.

I am not a lawyer. IIUC GPL is fine unless you want to make something that 'links to' the GPL licensed code, then the code you made has to be GPL as well. The way I understand that is if, in your python app, you 'import gpl_licensed_lib' ..

Absolutely agree. He'd been seen with another IED, home made hand grenades and automatic weapons in a metropolitan area. What the fuck else could the police do? This isn't 'fear of shadows', as Stallman puts it.
