For any Unix: Grab source from python.org, unpack, run "configure", run "make altinstall". The result is a "python2.5" binary that doesn't stomp on the standard install. For Ubuntu 10.4, you could also do this: http://www.codigomanso.com

Umm, that's a bit backwards -- the 10k hours number comes from research by K. Anders Ericsson et al, and the first papers mentioning this are from the early nineties, if not earlier (as for book references, it's discussed in Ericsson's "The

No idea what the Android team's rationale is, but from a security perspective, I'm pretty happy that random applications don't have access to things written to the screen by other applications. Not sure why it's not an OS level built-in, th

Premier Edition? That includes 24/7 phone support, SLA:s, and a lot more. Why are you paying for something if you haven't even bothered checking what you pay for? Doesn't sound very clever to me...
