Command+Shift+F to enable flash on a page, so you don't have to click on every flash component. You can also white-list pages (Useful for hulu, youtube I like having blocked due to autoplay).

Sure, at last as reputable as they are right now, why not? As long as they stay as objective as possible on other companies that also produce tablets and are upfront with their biases, I don't see a problem.

DX isn't great for reading code. There is significant lag when trying to go through multiple pages in quick succession. It is however, great for normal reading as after you view a page for some time, it loads the next page relatively quick.

django is a very tidy and pythonic code base. Ditto for twisted, but twisted might be more complicated than what you're trying to do (edit: or not). The recent Tornado server is of a an approachable size and from the look of it, very well e

What's there to respect about purity of ideology? Being pure and ignorant of other opinions is the easy way out. Learning and understanding alternate points of view and working with those people is what's worth respect, imho.
