What's wrong is giving slightly bad suggestions, like keeping a global 'logger' variable. There's absolutely no need to do that, just use a import logging ; getLogger(__name__) for example. I usually have something like self.logger = loggin

That's why people should move to open and decentralized instant messages networks. xmpp/jabber for example are easy to setup, federation is supported by some major parties (google talk for example) and use OTR (or PGP if you can convince yo

It took less than a second, running latest firefox on linux and noscript/adblock/flashblock/etc. But on the same vein of off topic, I just want to know if the microwave and coffee maker on that picture run linux.

That's true now, but the android market started from 0% at some point in the past and back then Linux on the desktop was non-zero. I can understand the growth predictions from one and the other but honestly don't see what's the difficulty o

What's the purpose of the arduino? Couldn't you setup a push button that needs to be pressed every 5 minutes or so to keep the circuit active, like a watchdog? You could also add a small piezo speaker or blinking LED to warn you to press it

How does it deal with a PIN protected phone when in sleep mode? Maybe there's a security issue there or does it ask for the PIN through voice?

Anyone knows if there is a free geoip lookup database with city level detail? If not, if there was a way of crowdsourcing this somehow? If I'm not mistaken gps+phone probably wouldn't work since the IP addresses seem to be more or less ra
